It's his decision where he will end up and I know that Celtic is the club he supports and people have linked him with there since he left United.
I would like to think that we can peak in the same way as the rugby team did,
I've been waiting for this moment for three years. From the start I wanted to wear Real Madrid's shirt in England. There's a special aura about being a Real Madrid player and I want to show it in England. To play in London, where I was born, is going to be very special.
It was alright -- we won the game,
So it is going to put a lot of strain on my back.
Me? I would love to be famous in America. I like the American people and I like the way they look up to Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods . I'm sure they criticize their stars occasionally but it doesn't reach the point where they ever put down their own people and their own stars. That's what's nice for me.
The intrusion and the invasion into my life is tough because I've got children,
I know I've been given a talent which can't disappear just like that. For four games I didn't perform like I can. I want to prove that's right.
I'm captain but so many other players are captain of their club sides and we need that. We are lucky to have that.
I think it is better for the team to have a regular penalty-taker rather than me who hardly ever takes them for Real,
One of the reasons why Brooklyn didn't go to a (Spanish) school was because of the press attention,
It's devastating for him but I don't think it's a major strain, I think it's his hamstring again.
The relationship between the players and the FA at the moment is questionable,
There was the normal booing when I took corners but that's what the fans are there for - to give the opposition stick. It's nice when you're 1-0 up, you can smile - and you get a few smiles back sometimes
