It obviously bothers people when Real Madrid win. It makes them jealous. There isn't a level playing field.
I want to be remembered as part of the group of the greatest players ever.
But I don't want to be compared to anyone like to impose my own style of play and do the best for myself and for the club here.
There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world's best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.
I feel bad only when I play badly. Fortunately, that happens rarely.
Of course I miss playing for Manchester United. I played there for six years and that’s a long time. I am still interested in watching Manchester United and, you never know, maybe in the future I could return to play there. It’s always possible. I want to fulfil my contract here but, in the future, only God knows. I will not say I am not happy here at Real Madrid. I am really happy and everyone knows this is my club but, of course, I miss Manchester United, the boss, the players, because I left family there.
For me, he is an exceptional player.
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.
I want to be one of the best players around in two or three years time, to be a decisive footballer.
There have been a few players described as the new George Best over the years, but this is the first time its been a compliment to me.
I prefer other people to make judgments about the way I play and to characterize me, rather me describe myself.
I don't understand referees. It appears like some players can't even be touched, but in my case, everyone can hit me as hard as they can.
It gives me the happiest feeling in the world. I just love scoring. It doesn't matter if it's a simple goal from close range, a long shot or a dribble around several players, I just love to score all goals.
