I, as a fan, want to be winning but to entertain equally as much, too.

I want exciting players.

It's far, far better to be prepared: the more you know about the other team, the better.

During a big tournament, it is the small details that make big differences.

Knowing where a team will usually place a penalty can be the difference between winning or losing.

People say that Andrea Pirlo is the main player and that everything goes through him, but that's an illusion. Pirlo is a brilliant player but doesn't dominate Italy's play as much as people say.

I am very proud to join the Hall of Fame.

Such great goalkeepers have played in England over the years - the likes of Gordon Banks, Peter Shilton, and Bert Trautmann.

For Zlatan to play the way we love him to play, he has to be Zlatan.

The big clubs will always talk about the same names such as Ancelotti, Mourinho, and Wenger. Louis Van Gaal is always in there as well. He has his own style and is a very determined man. He knows exactly what he wants. He's got direction, the ability and experience at big clubs such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Manchester United would like to have world class players.

Sir Alex is so consistent with his management. He manages each person differently, but you know exactly where you are with him. You know exactly what is required.

At Manchester United, you can have a bad day, and the supporters understand. Even in a crunch game, you can have a bad result, and they still back the team.

Any football club, any person, any human being alive goes through adversity. The art of living life is to recover from that and respond to any challenges being thrown at you.

We never played for 1-0 and then defend. We always went for the second goal and the third.

As a footballer, you have to be confident you can win all the time so it does not come as a surprise.

You have to believe you can win.

I think, in Denmark, we are quite good when it comes to the environment.

There are millions of Manchester United fans everywhere in the world. A lot of them live by the club. They need to be inspired by the manager.

Joe Hart has bags and bags of talent.

I was one of the first foreign players coming in to the Premier League.

To have an 18-year-old coming to you demanding money before he's even played - that has got to be frustrating for a manager to deal with.

I would have come to play at United for absolutely nothing if I'd been given the chance - everyone I played with at the time would have done that, too.

You will not get anywhere if you are not a great team. It's simple.

The better you can prepare your players and the more you can put their minds to it is really important.

You can't do anything successfully in life without leadership.

The AON Training Complex is not a training ground now: it's a village. It is difficult for anyone to keep tabs on everything.

To be a Manchester United player, it requires a certain level of performance, mentality, and you have got to be proud to be a Manchester United player.

Today, the biggest clubs in the world, they buy the players they need for whatever way they think they have to play.

When you have a way of playing or a mentality of playing, it's difficult to do something else.

If you have been brought up with attacking and trying to get to number two, number three, number four goal, not getting one goal and defend, if that's sort of the mentality that's engraved in you, it's really difficult to do the other thing.

Even when I went to Aston Villa, it was very important that I was not in competition with Manchester United.

Change is good. Quick change can be very dangerous.

In three weeks, you can improve a lot. You can train a lot. You can come up with a proper plan.

I really want to get involved in football again at some point. I know I'm getting older, but my life has just turned out a different way after I retired from football.

I want to see Pogba being a Manchester United player and being as good as everything else he does in life. He's absolutely brilliant on social media, and he's projecting himself to be this incredibly modern player.

If you're a senior player, and you really want to make an impact in the dressing room, it's difficult if you have players there who are not as committed as you are and they have a certain status.

It is painful to say that the best player you have is better off trying something new.

You have to bear in mind where Louis van Gaal has worked before. His self-belief is bigger than Jose Mourinho's.

Guardiola has a way of playing; he has a system, and he sticks to that.

With a club like Manchester United that have history and traditions, I think the manager at the club should respect that.

At the end of the day, it's 11 men versus 11 on the pitch.

Joe Hart has come in for a bit of criticism, but it's only because he's the England goalkeeper, and he's not got any competition. It's always been like that; it's just the way the English media works. Joe Hart is a tough cookie, and he won't listen to any of that.

Every player makes mistakes; every goalkeeper makes mistakes. Every manager does, every broadcaster - every person in life makes mistakes. But for goalkeepers, often when they make a mistake, it leads to a goal.

Football is a team sport. I'm proud of what I achieved in my career, but I also know that I wouldn't have achieved any of it without the support of my team-mates. I played with great players, great managers, and in great teams.

The thing about being a striker is you need to be lightning-fast.

When I hit 35, there were things I couldn't do which I'd done previously, and they had been completely natural to me.

I am a massive fan of Wayne Rooney, and it is nice to see him play in any position because he gives a 100 per cent. Not many players can do that and say they do that.

Obviously, I would very much like to see Cristiano Ronaldo back at Old Trafford.
