I am proud of my black roots and of the black blood that runs in my veins.

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

I have always considered myself to be very fortunate. To play for the biggest club in the world, which also happens to be the team I supported as a boy, means I have never had to consider changing away from Manchester United.

Where I grew up, people obviously knew my dad because it's a small place and he was the top player for Swinton - they'd go and watch him play, see him in the papers, so they knew he was black.

You get yourself prepared for a big game, you get yourself up for it. Then afterwards you don't sleep or eat properly.

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

What you've got to realise is that footballers, and me in particular, have seen everything in the changing room. Everything. I've seen the manager kicking off with the players, the players kicking off with him, players fighting each other, managers fighting, everything.
