I went into the World Cup always worrying about getting fit for the first game and I haven't got that worry now,
If it all ended tomorrow, I would hope that people would write about captaining England 50 times, the 86 caps, winning the European Cup, six Premiership titles, two FA Cups, ... So many goals and games for United. And, hopefully, there is still a trophy with England and Madrid.
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.
If we win the next two games then, even if we finished in second place in the group, we've got very high points. We need to win, simple as that. That's what's we're here for. We said that before the Wales game we want to get six points out of the two games and that's what we look for.
It's a great honor to play in the same game as Luis, and hopefully we'll come out on top,
I've held my hand up, we could have gone 2-0 up and the game would have probably been over but that's football,
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
A lot was made of our last performance and rightly so because it was not up to the level we are capable of,
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.
