Maybe they hate me because I'm too good!
I never promise anything. I don't promise anything to my mum. I don't promise anything to the supporters.
I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.
I want to consistently play well and win titles. I'm only at the beginning.
Why lie? I'm not going to be a hypocrite and say the opposite of what I think, like some others do.
I have two Golden Boot awards at home. It would be nice to win another, but I wouldn't mind it if I didn't.
I'm aware that, whatever the circumstances, there will always be speculation about me.
I have practically no private life. I'm already used to this and ready for it. Yes, sometimes it is hard, but it is the choice I made.
I'm living a dream I never want to wake up from.
People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything.
When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.
Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can.
I don't have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove.
To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.
