I like to be in Europe - it's important for our experience. It's good for the club, the players and the fans.

I managed Zlatan when he was young and sometimes also difficult! But, okay, that is normal.

I like young players when they are still open to learn and behave normally, not driving a Porsche after three matches in the first team.

I'm always a big advocate for adapting to your new team, your new country and your new team-mates.

The entire world knows what I have with Barcelona and what Barcelona have with Ronald Koeman, so if I could become Barcelona coach one day, I would be delighted.

You need luck, you need your key players, you need to be in the best shape, you need all of that to be champions.

There are so many other examples in the Premier League of players who are the best in their country and make a move because they are really ready for a level higher. If they come to the English top flight, it turns out they need a period to adjust in terms of pace, aggressiveness and physicality, especially as a midfielder.

When you have Van Gaal in charge, it is a fact that there is fear in his team. The players have a fear for mister Van Gaal. That is not always good.

If anyone has to overtake me, I'm glad that it is Messi.

I don't speak about rumours every day in the press, because it's not necessary to tell everybody the same answer.

If you win games you will have good possibilities to maybe play in Europe, you never know.

We are football players and we like to win games.

What I don't like too much really is individual comments about the performances of the players after the game.

It's easy to give your opinion in front of the television without any responsibility.

In Holland we have always viewed Villa as an important club with a tradition of being powerful in Europe when I was younger, so I would be very interested in managing them if the job was offered to me.

I love English football because of its brilliant atmosphere, intensity of the competition and the culture of respect that fans and players have for the game.

One of the things I'd bring to Villa if I was in charge is the idea that winning is important in football, but winning while playing offensive football is the best of all.

I've coached in Holland, Portugal and Spain and not only won trophies each time, but taken sides to the latter stages of the Champions League.

The Premier League is different. Sometimes the Bournemouth game can be more difficult than Liverpool or Chelsea.

I like to play attacking football, but I think the big difference is that we expect a lot more from our strikers, to do more pressing and to keep compact. We like to play a high line defensively and press the ball.

Normally I keep criticism of my players inside but sometimes people need to know what the manager is thinking.

Manchester United are always a team that try to play football, try to play football from the back.

Old Trafford is not really intimidating, no. I think the Man United fans are always behind the team and it's a fantastic place to play football.

I don't step back, that's football. It's about winning.

I think it is always good to know what is happening around the club.

The best player to compare to Aguero is Romario.

That's the nicest part of football; you can't do everything to stop a player.

In football a championship team is never bought, it's built with time and patience.

Coaching Netherlands remains one of my ambitions.

If I get the chance to coach Netherlands, I would like to take that chance.

Becoming Netherlands coach could be a nice end to my career.

The Europa League is a different calibre than the Champions League.

I know what it is like when a player has big ambitions.

Being in a boy ban,d you're not allowed to be good at anything. You're not allowed to be talented. You're not really allowed to be a songwriter. You're not allowed to be that good a singer.

My average day is with my wife and kids in Dublin, doing school runs, grocery store, feeding and walking the dogs.

I would love to do a Bollywood flick.

I've done a couple of castings... I've done an audition for 'The Hobbit.'

The song 'Gave It All Away' has a reggae sound.

I would like to take on roles which nobody would expect. I don't want to be reduced to love stories. I'd like to try dark, edgy roles. I need a challenge.

My future definitely lies in the music business.

As a parent, you're never wrong in your children's eyes.

I'm glad to have a couple a quid in my pocket to be able to enjoy life.

I hate seeing people getting a raw deal and artists not being in control of what they are doing. It happens all the time.

I've never been particularly happy with what I see in the mirror - I don't think anybody ever is. And I'd like to be taller, too: I'm 5 ft. 9in.

I try to stay fit and healthy and eat well.

I've gone through some dark times, and at those times, my tattoos have helped and guided me through.

When we live in a world where everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame, I think it's nice to have a show like 'All Together Now,' where it's about people having 15 minutes of fun.

I find it very hard to make choices.

My dad taught me to work hard and be a grafter, and my mam taught me to have a heart and showed me how to love. That's a good balance.

I listen to loads of different music all the time.
