I just love to defend!

I want to stop goals going in the net.

United need to be in the Champions League.

You cannot build a partnership on four games.

Scoring is probably something I need to work on.

I'm lucky, I'm lucky enough that I am strong mentally.

Everyone hates the best clubs, it is as simple as that.

In an odd way (the death of John Daly) is cheering news!

Consistency is key in any sport and it's no different here.

I love playing football so I want to play as many as I can.

If you are enjoying your football, you see it on the pitch.

I'd like to see myself as captain, but it's a long-term goal.

Hopefully, I can stay in the Premier League for my whole career.

When times are tough I am not one for just throwing the towel in.

People can assume and predict and it is up to us to prove them all wrong.

I tend not to read the papers or listen to what the pundits say about me.

People criticising does spur you on. You are always going to get critics.

The manager picks the team and the team has got to go out and do its best.

I would never have dreamed of being able to lift the Premier League trophy.

As long as I am playing and enjoying playing, then that is all that matters.

One minute you can be the blue-eyed boy and the next match you can be slated.

Mom's always know how to make us happy, but they also know exactly how to make us cry.

Basic problem is that all models are wrong - not got enough middle and low level clouds.

I want to be remembered one day as a great player, good athlete and a good professional.

Players like routines. They like to know what they're doing in the week and in training.

I only really set short-term goals because I don't want to put too much pressure on myself.

I am not a player who goes on mazy runs - I like to defend. I like to do a job for the team.

Bottom line: the ‘no upward trend’ has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.

People don't wake up one morning and say: 'I fancy being injured today.' It is just the way it is.

When the chips are down, you see who the real fighters are. That is the beauty of Manchester United.

I think I'm more than capable of playing in positions such as right-back, centre-back and centre-mid.

It's the striker's job to put the ball in the net and it's up to us to make important tackles and blocks.

Being at United in my first season has really given me an insight into the passion and drive the club has.

We are under no illusions that we have no given right to win things, but winning the FA Cup is not enough.

I'm going to get criticism in the future, I've had criticism in the past. Honestly, I genuinely don't care.

We will always have our critics because we are Manchester United. It has been like that since I have been here.

Training with world-class players week in, week out has only made me a better player and I'm thankful for that.

When I was younger I used to get really nervous before games, so much so, you are almost throwing up before games.

I think it's brilliant to see players you've grown up with on the international stage come through to senior level.

I don't know when I will peak and be at my best but I am learning every day and as long as I keep doing that I am happy.

I am not one who needs to be patted on the back every single day and told I am brilliant. Some players need that, I don't.

I don't think any training session can get you ready for a game in the Premier League, never mind playing against Liverpool.

We're Man United, of course, we're going to be interested in the best players in the world, I'd be pretty amazed if we weren't.

You always get that buzz, that feeling of shivers down the back of your neck every time you walk out at Old Trafford or anywhere.

Success for Manchester United is winning the Premier League, adding another trophy and having another good cup run is another one.

I feel like I have done a lot at United, I still have developed as a player and grown into myself, seen a lot of faces come and go.

I have said from day one I see myself as a center back. But, if I am asked to play in midfield or at right-back, I am happy to do so.

Defending isn't just about tackling and heading, it's also about getting the ball down and playing - starting the attack from the back.

Having more money allows you to play in a certain way, but that's the beauty of the Premier League - there are so many different styles.

England is nice. I always said that if I was playing games for United consistently and playing well I'd have a chance of getting back in.
