I think football saves many people. It can give you a life of luxury, but people don't see all the effort that goes in behind the scenes. That might mean not seeing your family or missing your mother's birthday; many players are so focused that they miss the birth of their children.

I always said as a kid that I'd like to play for United, and I once spoke to Sir Alex Ferguson about it. We chatted for around 20 minutes, and I told him that my dream was to come here to Manchester United.

I've learnt so much over time and with the experience that I've gained. You can't please everyone.

I don't care if I play on the wing or in the middle. There is no difference.

You play one game after another, meet new people every day, and travel a lot. That is why I try to disconnect and relax as soon as I get some time off.

I can't be happy with drawing or losing a match. It actually makes me really sad when that happens.
