I think he's a special talent. I thought there were glimpses of brilliance before Christmas but after that he has shown everyone at United that he's going to be a world-class player.
My brother always celebrates like that when we beat Liverpool. It means a lot to him and I think people should just let it go.
The players do not have to lift themselves, they know their responsibilities. I am sure we will hear a lot over the next few days about how we are not going to be playing European football after Christmas. There will be a circus but we have to remove ourselves from that.
Though England would have to avoid playing between February and May, clearly. Only joking. I mean, it's not going to be him, though, is it? Are we live? Oh crap.
As football gets more globalised, it's probably more important than ever to have one or two players in your team who have grown up in the same streets or been to the same schools as the hard-core fans.
We live in a multi-cultural society far more open to international ideas. If you'd told me 20 years ago I'd drive through Bury and see someone sitting outside a cafe drinking a latte, I'd have laughed. In fact, I wouldn't have even known what a latte was.
We have to win that game. But we have to win every game, that's the way it's always been.
When I was a child, the FA Cup was one of the crown jewels of the sporting year, along with the Grand National, Wimbledon and The Open. But with every announcement it seems to lose another piece of its identity. First it was sponsors added to the name, followed by the semi-finals at Wembley.
We get too carried away by shouts from the crowd. What do you expect?
I don't think it is right for us at Manchester United to be talking about winning the European Cup. Over the last few years we have slipped a noose round our own necks by consistently saying we have to win the Champions League because we have not won it since 1999. What we should be doing is concentrating on the Premiership.
He'll always be one of the legends of Manchester United,
He won't give me one single second's rest for 90 minutes,
To have played at this club for so long and get to 500 matches is something I never would have dreamed of.
We need to get our house in order and then we can talk about winning the league again.
