“Not everyone is going to like how you play and who you play for.”

“Casey knows me, on and off the pitch, and she knows how to get the best out of me. She made it quite clear that she will take me to another level.”

“When I was a captain at United, it was about being a leader and making sure everyone was OK and making sure everyone knew what we needed to do to get to where we wanted to be.”

“To prepare for a Euros, Olympics and a World Cup in the space of three years, it's not going to be easy. The pressure of wanting to medal in all of them is something we should embrace and enjoy.”

“When we mean business, we mean business.”

“It's the teams that win titles back to back who create a dynasty. It's the sign of a really top team that can do that.”

“I love the club, I love Manchester, it's been my home and I'm very settled. Home will always be Liverpool, I'll never forget where I'm from, but I'm settled here.”

“For me, Aitana Bonmati is one of the best if not the best player in the world. She sees the game on a different level and her football IQ is top class.”
