I cannot control what people think. But I can control myself and my aim, and my head is focused on trying to win trophies.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Football sometimes has a bad reputation. Some of that is deserved... and some of it isn't.

Who is shorter, me or David Silva? I don't know. Probably him.

I'm at the fantastic club that is Manchester United, one of the biggest in the world.

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.

Football's incomparable to anything else - perhaps only music has that same power to transform society.

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.

The only thing I think about is helping the team, respecting all my team-mates, not being selfish.

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.

My adaptation on the pitch has gone in parallel with my adaptation to London.

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.

Football is not about money but emotions.

I like creative players and players who do different things.

Obviously, when you've made a great assist... is a great feeling, but obviously, the best feeling is to score yourself.

Every player thinks he's Maradona when he joins a big club. That happens to all of us, but then you start to notice it in the younger players. You see kids who think they're rock stars, wearing extravagant clothes and driving fancy cars... and sometimes you have to take them aside and have a word.

If a luxury player is a player who scores and assists and has good stats, then I'm happy to be a luxury player.

Confidence comes from results. If you are winning, you have that confidence; if you are losing, you don't have it.

For me, it would be the perfect summer to play in the Euros and then the Olympics. My desire is to play in both.

I am not so old, but when I started out, we had none of this. We did not have the need to show the things we do and the good life we lead. That is dangerous. Social networks can be very positive because it's a great vehicle to communicate, but perhaps things need to be done in a different way.
