Sir Alex has a special place in my life. In fact, he was the main man. I was not famous, I was not a star. I arrived at Old Trafford as just another young talent. He was the one who told me to do all the right things. He gave me the opportunity to play in one of the biggest clubs in the world. So he is one of the most important people in the world for me. I worked with Sir Alex for a few years and I know he deserves everything that he has achieved in his career. He works so hard, he is clever, he has experience, he is a human guy.
It would be a dream if 2015 was like 2014 or even better
My free-kick secret? I just look at the net and say take the kick, Cristiano.
The kid makes you sick. He looks the part, he walks the part, he is the part. He's six-foot something, fit as a flea, good-looking - he's got to have something wrong with him....Hopefully he's hung like a hamster! That would make us all feel better!
I don't consider myself as the best player in the world. I'm not obsessed with individual titles. I'm much more interested in being part of a team which wins trophies.
I don't have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove.
Some fans keep booing and whistling at me because I'm handsome, rich and a great player. They envy me.
I'm not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well
I'm proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it's a sign that it's time to leave. For now though, I'm happy here at the greatest club in the world.
I know who likes football likes me
The one thing that I really dislike, is being alone.
What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.
Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can.
People whistle me because I am good-looking, rich and a great footballer. They are jealous of me.
