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.

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.

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.

I like to let my football do the talking, I'm respectful of other good teams such as Arsenal.

When Cristiano Ronaldo gets the ball, you can just leave him to it while he beats player after player.

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

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.
