When you've got a player who does what he does at that pace this late in the game than you know you've got an invaluable talent.
When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.
I spent six years at United and I owe them everything that I am today. I made history at United and won many trophies. It was a pleasure to play at Old Trafford.
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.
When I win awards, I think of my father.
I have never played against anybody like that in my life and I was pleased to be taken off.
I don't consider myself as the best player in the world. I'm not obsessed with individual titles. I'm much more interested in being part of a team which wins trophies.
I don't have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove.
The one thing that I really dislike, is being alone.
I know who likes football likes me
People whistle me because I am good-looking, rich and a great footballer. They are jealous of me.
Some fans keep booing and whistling at me because I'm handsome, rich and a great player. They envy me.
No one did what I did last season and for this I deserve the Golden Boot and why not the best World Player.
I'm not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well
