“Goal scoring is what I do, and it's the thing that makes me most happy, so I'm really happy inside. But I'm just not the sort of guy who shows that sort of emotion on the outside too much.”
“The best thing about playing football is making fans happy. The supporters help us a lot out on the pitch.”
“My brother was the one who really gave me the desire to follow in his footsteps. Also, it was really Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, the two Brazilian players, who also inspired me to a future in football.”
“I stay in my bubble; I concentrate on the football. I work, and I try to learn English as quickly as possible.”
“I am a striker, but I love playing wide.”
“I know not to let myself get distracted and to concentrate on what happens on the pitch.”
“The main thing is, wherever I play, I enjoy it and help the team.”
“My family were really happy for me that I'm going to such a big club as Manchester United. They definitely were a bit nervous because of my high price, but I'm going to stay focused on proving my worth.”
“I prefer to play up front, but if the coach puts me on the wing, then that means it is better for the team, and for me, that is the most important thing.”
“I don't know if I'm worth 80m euros, but I don't worry about the sums.”
“It is not easy to arrive in a different country and adapt quickly, but I think I'm getting there, and I'm proud of that.”
“I try to learn from Falcao, and Manu Riviere as well - his movement is excellent - it's really good for me. I need to work on my movement and my finishing, but seeing these guys on a regular basis gives me a benchmark.”
“It's annoying to be on the bench - it's truly annoying - but it's a test you have to overcome, and that's how you progress. It's difficult because all you want is to be able to help the team, and when you're on the bench, you can't.”
“The Everton goal was very important. It was the one that got us through, and it was great to go into the crowd and celebrate with the fans.”
“I am a professional footballer, and it's a game where the coach decides where you can be most beneficial for the team. As long as I am attacking, I am happy! I know what Jose Mourinho decides will be best for me personally and for the team.”
