Every player should play the game as if it’s their last, with passion and dedication

The most valuable players are not always the ones with the highest stats but those who inspire others

I don’t travel with them, but they can’t be missing in my home. There have to always be dominoes. I used to play with my family—dad, my grandpa, my uncles

I have never played against anybody like that in my life and I was pleased to be taken off.

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.

After we played Sporting last week, the lads in the dressing room talked about him constantly, and on the plane back from the game they urged me to sign him. That’s how highly they rated him.

Without this playing with fantasy, no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable

My brother and I are always playing F1 on the PlayStation and now I am going to be in one of those cars on the games!
