I think after a big European game you're looking at four or five days. For two days afterwards I don't really do anything. I do a recovery the next day, which is bike work, a light stretch, some yoga and an ice bath after that. Then the second day I would just do the bike again for 20 minutes and then do some strides, which is box to box, just eight of them, just to get the legs going and the blood going again.

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

I have played with some great players during my time at United but I would have to put Paul Scholes down as the best.

Too much money at a young age, it just takes your eye off the ball. And you're not as hungry as players used to be. You think you've made it before you've done anything.

When you lose a game or don't play well you can't wait for the next one, because it soon disappears, the disappointment.

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