Messi is probably the best player of the last 20 years.

If I feel I'm not influencing games, not scoring goals or making goals, then that's the time I'd pack it in.

I do not wish to hide my origins, nor do I seek to make it a subject of conversation. I am what I am.

There's never been completion in my football career because I've always been striving for that next thing. You listen to people who have finished and nothing replaces playing, but I'm still excited about not having to put my body through what I've put it through. And not feeling the disappointment that I feel.

Ander is a fantastic young player, with great energy and creativity. We believe him to be one of the brightest young prospects in Spain and I am certain he will be a big hit with the United fans. I’m delighted he has made the decision to come to Manchester and play his part in the club’s future.

Every footballer wants to play forever. And if you are going to keep on playing - to enjoy it to the full - you want to win games, and as a result, trophies.

I just want to be as successful as I can in football.
