I have played with some great players during my time at United but I would have to put Paul Scholes down as the best.

I'm not comfortable being photographed, though I accept it is part of the job.

When Cristiano Ronaldo gets the ball, you can just leave him to it while he beats player after player.

Every footballer wants to play forever. And if you are going to keep on playing - to enjoy it to the full - you want to win games, and as a result, trophies.

I hope this match never ends. When the match ends, the memories begin.
