I am not a man of many words, but I can honestly say playing football is all I have ever wanted to do.

There have been so many outstanding players I've had as team-mates, but if I had to choose I'd choose Giggsy, he can do anything.

Yes I am finally hanging up my boots for good.

I am not a man of many words, but I can honestly say that playing football is all I have ever wanted to do and to have had such a long and successful career at Manchester United has been a real honour. This was not a decision that I have taken lightly but I feel now is the right time for me to stop playing. To have been part of the team that helped the Club reach that 19th title is a great privilege.

At every opportunity, I wanted to play football.

I think about the great players with whom I have shared a pitch: Eric Cantona, Zinedine Zidane, Pirlo, Xavi, Cristiano Ronaldo - and the greatest of them all is Messi.

I dont like compliments. I prefer criticism..then I can prove those people wrong.
