Obviously, when you've made a great assist... is a great feeling, but obviously, the best feeling is to score yourself.
Juan Mata
I like creative players and players who do different things.
Football is not about money but emotions.
I consider myself as this kind of attacking midfielder, trying to find the gaps between the opposition midfielders and defenders and produce what the team needs between the lines.
My adaptation on the pitch has gone in parallel with my adaptation to London.
Obviously, replacing Sir Alex Ferguson was never going to be easy - not for him or for anyone. Although I was with him for only a few months, I'll always be grateful, as he played a key role in my move to United. He was the one who called me, who welcomed me, and the one who gave me the confidence to come here.
The only thing I think about is helping the team, respecting all my team-mates, not being selfish.
I always said I was very grateful for Chelsea. I spent an amazing time of my career there, we won a lot of trophies, and I think I became a better player. I have great friends in the club, and I always wish the best for them.
Football's incomparable to anything else - perhaps only music has that same power to transform society.
But I just try to do my best. I don't know if my game can influence the game of the team and how we play, but I just try to help with my football, for my team-mates and the club.
I'm at the fantastic club that is Manchester United, one of the biggest in the world.
Who is shorter, me or David Silva? I don't know. Probably him.
Football sometimes has a bad reputation. Some of that is deserved... and some of it isn't.
I like the Common Goal initiative, the vision of football as a tool for social change and the power football has to improve the world.
London is a very big city, Manchester is calmer. I live near the training ground, so I do things around there in the countryside, but I really like Manchester's Northern Quarter, where they have nice coffee shops and live music places.
There's always pressure. People's happiness depends on you; they suffer with you. You get used to it, but you have to know how to handle it.
Obviously, Spain is my home, and I have everything here - family, friends - but I'm very happy in England, with the way of life we have and with English football.
I can tell you as a Manchester United player how big this club is and how you feel the repercussions of everything you do. It happens to everyone. It happened to me when I came.
I cannot control what people think. But I can control myself and my aim, and my head is focused on trying to win trophies.
For a kid that just played for Oviedo, to then going to play for a team like Real Madrid, it felt fantastic. But being taken out of my family home and moving away alone, into the residence Madrid have for young players, it was a bit difficult. But as time passed, I got used to it.
I've scored as many goals for Manchester United in the Premier League as for Chelsea, but in something like 30 games less.
In Spain, they show many Premier League games on TV, and it is an inspirational league. Maybe I would like to play in the Premier League.
I never lose faith. I believe in myself. I know what I can do.
Through Common Goal, we're creating a collaborative way for football to give back to society.
I've been lucky to be born in Spain to a good family. But some team-mates reached the same position from a tough background. Football is equal, and it doesn't matter where you come from.
If I was 19, 20, 18, and I had the chance to play with first-team players of Manchester United, I will definitely try to take my chance.
I think every footballer, after 20 years playing football, the first thing that comes to your mind is to relax.
Winning the World Cup is something that will always be inside your mind and inside your body.
It is true that footballers are mistrustful.
Football generates a lot of money, but there has to be a social responsibility that goes with that. It can positively affect people's lives.
There are some examples in my career when my family was more concerned than me. So every time I win or I score, I always think about them.
I like to be in contact with the ball, have possession, to play.
I will always be grateful to Chelsea, to the players, the directors, the owner, the fans.
Like any footballer, I love to play. I love to feel important. I love to enjoy the game.
My duty, what I have to do, is try my best in every training session, leave everything of me on the pitch. That's how I can go to bed at the end of the day and be happy with myself.
The managers I've known all had their own specific way of working.
You have to feel free enough to do what your body is telling you to do. Sometimes, though, the pressure of winning and the fear of defeat limit your performance.
It's amazing knowing that a club like Manchester United is interested in you. It's a good feeling.
I just want to be playing! I love to play. But I think I can play in the three positions behind the striker.
I'm the way my father taught me to be.
There are so many clubs with great squads, good managers, good financial situations that allows them to sign good players.
Everything I do is about improvement.
As a child, we would all go to a tiny village near Burgos, and we'd have typical Spanish parties in the summer. There would be a band and grandparents dancing all night dressed up as American Indians and things like that.
Football is losing its essence: people talk about celebrations instead of goals.
Van Gaal is how you see him in the press conferences; he's like that with us, too. He's honest and straightforward. He believes in his style of training and way of preparing for games.
I'm a professional. I have to do my best.
It will be nice to play against Australia. It's a great country, and football is getting bigger and bigger.
I am thrilled to be joining United. I have enjoyed some very happy years at Chelsea, but the time has come for a new challenge.
I feel privileged to play for Manchester United. It is something, when I'm old, I will always be proud of.
The most important and the better feeling in football, for me, is scoring a goal.
