It Bothers Me When I

Manchester United Will Always Be A Competitor, Just Because Of The Very Size Of Them.

While The World Cup Is Great Every Four Years, I Think People Struggle To Get Themselves Excited About Qualifiers Against The Smaller Nations. It Will Take Some Good Performances From The National Team To Get The Feel-good Factor Back, As Far As The England Team Goes At Least.

The Bottom Line Is That I Wanted To Come Back And Play In The Premier League Again And Wake Up On Saturday Morning And Really Fancy Getting Out There And Playing In Front Of This Fantastic Support, Scoring Goals And Enjoying Football. (on Returning To The Premiership)

I Loved [real Madrid]. It Was A Real Experience, Playing With A Great Team. One Of The First Questions I'm Often Asked Is 'what Was Madrid Like?' It's Got That Mystique About It. It's A Magical Place And A Magical Team, And Everything About It Is Great.

[wayne Rooney] Best Tournament Was The 2004 European Championships, When He Played Alongside Me And Made Such A Big Impact, But It Hasn't Happened For Him At The World Cup For One Reason Or Another.
