A manager has to have all different sides covered.

I think every manager has that, the so-called hairdryer treatment when things need a little turnaround.

You know that without the whole team working together, it's a very hard job for the defenders, so everyone plays a part.

I think a lot of managers say that it starts from the front and us as defenders know it helps our job when the front two strikers put that pressure on. If they can do that it makes our job a lot easier.

I know from playing against Mata that he's a great player.

I want the supporters to know that we're always striving to improve.

You learn that you can't take what's happened in the previous years for granted.

At home we try to plan what we cook in the week.

I guess football is a game of opinions.

I am used to playing when I am fit.

I love a challenge and when a new centre-back comes in it makes you raise your game. You have to show more, you have to be more consistent.

To have a chance at a big club, if it goes well and the club is happy and I am happy, then I can definitely see a longer-term future in Italy.

I think I've played a lot in the Premier League and now I can bring my qualities that I've learned to Italy, and that is something I am looking forward to.

I think Serie A has always been a goal of mine to play in one day, because as a defender if you get the chance to experience Serie A you want to do it.

I think racism is unacceptable and should not be stood for. It is not an issue just in Italy, it is around the world.

When we're winning or losing, when we're doing warm-ups or even when I'm walking down the street, there are United fans talking to me. I think that's something we all love.

Everyone becomes a lot more focused when you come towards the critical stages of the season.

I knew when I did get a consistent run that I could go from height to height.

I've had many setbacks.

It is nice to hear some positive words from the manager.

Nobody wants to train every day so the more games the better.

Ultimately it's your club form that decides whether you play at a World Cup because there aren't many England games throughout the season.

I have a collage of pictures of my dad holding my brother and me. I look at that before every game just to remind me about having no fear or regrets and to go out and enjoy the moment, because I know how precious life is.

I just try to do my best and try to be a part of the team.
