When I was 11 years old, I was playing for the Lierse youth team, and one of the parents from the other team literally tried to stop me from going on the pitch. He was like, 'How old is this kid? Where is his ID? Where is he from?'

Ever since I was six or seven, I wanted to be a professional footballer.

What I would like most is to play in the Champions League and try to win the Premier League once. Or better - a few times.

If you don't have ambition to be one of the best, someone will always come and take your place.

Just as an individual's ability to delay gratification at a young age is a powerful predictor of future academic and professional achievement, discipline is also central to the long-run economic health of nations.

At United, there has been continuity with the manager, with the success they have had. It gives them a different dynamic.

I'm very content to have great management and a great label. But for me, success started when my managers came to me and told me, 'Go ahead and quit your job.' I told them, 'As long as I don't have to wash dishes anymore, I'm good.'

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.
