I like it in Manchester. I thought it was going to be much colder, but it is not too bad. And my wife and son are happy here, too.

I owe my life to my father. I remember that my first Christmas present was a ball. In the district where we lived, there weren't many kids who had one.

I like tricks; I like to dazzle. Dribbling and leaving your opponent on his backside is what life is for. If I achieve what I want to, then I'll mark a distinct era in football. I'm the Che Guevara of modern soccer.

I'm adapting quite well to English football with the same will I've always had.

All I suggest is to make K-12 like higher education. Higher education in the United States is the best in the world because these institutions compete with each other for your tuition dollar. Let's just bring competition to public education.

I have been in football a long time, and Wayne Rooney has been in football a long time. He would regard me as someone who is very false if I ever said to him, 'Your place is guaranteed.' He would not expect it, and I would be very upset anyway if anyone asked me to give them a guarantee of a place.

I'm an athlete - my legs were everything. I had no idea what my life would be like without them.

You will get criticised, you will get praised - that's the way football goes. I've learned over a few years now that it can change within an instant.
