When Ronaldo gave that little wink everyone interpreted it that he had got his team-mate sent off. You felt then that he would become a much criticised figure. But that's not really what happened. So for him to overcome all of that and emerge as one of the players of the season is quite a remarkable achievement. He is a phenomenal talent. He has tremendous pace, he goes past players and he has added the ability to shoot. He can also pick out team-mates. There is not a lot he cannot do now. I believe his game has improved immeasurably over the past couple of seasons.
Ronaldo can do whatever he wants as a footballer. There are some things he does with the ball that make me touch my head and wonder how he did it.
For me, he is an exceptional player.
I know If I score we're going to win the match.
I miss Manchester, especially the apple crumble and custard they served at Carrington after training.
If I can have the chance to be the best ever, then that would be perfect.
I am always motivated. I am ambitious and I want to always improve.
I've always had a sense of responsibility, whether I've been captain or not. But I must say that I'm both pleased and proud to be Portugal captain, despite how young I am, because I know what it means. My job is still the same though. I need to do what I do best out on the pitch, and that's score goals and help my team win.
People are going to think I'm crazy.
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've always dreamed to win the Champions League with Real Madrid and we are only one step away to win it
I want to consistently play well and win titles. I'm only at the beginning.
It's not a problem. In four or five days I will be beautiful once again.
