I'm enjoying playing football, and as a footballer, that's what you want to do, and that is exactly what I've been doing.

I wouldn't say I've changed at all. A lot of people will keep saying I'm a different person, especially when I go across those white lines. I think it's just the hunger and desire and passion I've got for the game.
People saying I dive doesn't affect me at all. Not one bit.
I had to go to see the careers woman at school, and when she asked me what I wanted to do after school, I told her flat: 'I want to be a professional footballer.' I can remember her being silent for a few seconds, just looking at me.
We've got to rediscover the Manchester United way of playing, and I don't think many teams enjoy their nights at Old Trafford when we're on song.
There's a lot said now about younger players: that it's just about the cars and houses. I'm from the old school - it's about what you've achieved in the game.
My dad worked in the IT industry, although I haven't got a clue what he did. He always tells me but it just goes over my head.
I follow tennis, and I actually went to Wimbledon during the summer, and it was nice to get a day off during pre-season to watch it. Basketball as well - I don't have a team; it's just a casual interest - especially when the play-offs come around and the intensity rises.
There are a lot of players competing for that wide attacking role, and if I'm brutally honest, if you aren't playing regularly, you can't get picked. I found that out, missing out on the World Cup.
I'm not one of those players who talks about things off the field. It's about what trophies and titles and cups you've won.
I'm a born winner.
I'm not a cheat. I'm not a diver.
I'm just the same as everyone - I can remember, growing up, watching the World Cup.
Once you look back on your career when it's over, you can say, 'This is what I achieved,' or, 'This is what I'm driving.'
I had three brothers: one older, two younger.
If I do well for my club, I will get recognition.
Players have to adapt nowadays, and if you have a good football brain, if you can read the game, you can manage it.
All I can do is keep playing as well as I can for United.
I've had the same hunger, the same desire to win, since I started kicking a football when I was five years old.
I love playing football, and that's all I'm going to do.
I was 11 years old and was racially abused on the pitch. It was obviously disappointing to hear it at such a young age.
It's about taking the game to the opposition, always believing in yourself.
I've come through it and seen people in football that are sharks. They are ones to stay away from.
Everything that moved, I was kicking it. You can ask my mum and dad. A stone, a can, whatever.
I've been watching 'Power.' I've been hooked on it.
I'm still operating as a wide player, and I'm still free to express myself, try to get one-v-one and get past someone, and there's no better feeling than getting over a great cross and someone scoring.
