Many players want to make as much money as they can and change teams for ten grand. How is that going to make much difference to their lives?

Looking at me from the outside, it is not very obvious, I know half my family is black and I feel close to their culture and their color.

I've always had people come up to me to say that they admire the way I play, and then they tell me they're not United fans. That's always been nice.

Celebrity culture, it's everywhere, isn't it? It's reality TV, Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?

My dad played rugby, so I used to watch a lot of rugby union and rugby league.

I hope this match never ends. When the match ends, the memories begin.

I'm not comfortable being photographed, though I accept it is part of the job.
