“I feel privileged to play for Manchester United. It is something, when I'm old, I will always be proud of.”

“I've scored as many goals for Manchester United in the Premier League as for Chelsea, but in something like 30 games less.”

“My duty, what I have to do, is try my best in every training session, leave everything of me on the pitch. That's how I can go to bed at the end of the day and be happy with myself.”

“I don't dab, bro.”

“I'm at the fantastic club that is Manchester United, one of the biggest in the world.”

“It will be nice to play against Australia. It's a great country, and football is getting bigger and bigger.”

“There are so many clubs with great squads, good managers, good financial situations that allows them to sign good players.”

“I never lose faith. I believe in myself. I know what I can do.”

“It's amazing knowing that a club like Manchester United is interested in you. It's a good feeling.”

“I'm a person who doesn't think bad about other people or feel happy when other people don't get results.”

“It is true that footballers are mistrustful.”

“Through Common Goal, we're creating a collaborative way for football to give back to society.”

“Maybe the yoga I do helps me to play as much as I do. It certainly gets you in the right frame of mind, stretches and relaxes you.”

“Who is shorter, me or David Silva? I don't know. Probably him.”

“If I was 19, 20, 18, and I had the chance to play with first-team players of Manchester United, I will definitely try to take my chance.”

“Obviously, when I play well and win a trophy, I feel happy about myself.”

“I like the Common Goal initiative, the vision of football as a tool for social change and the power football has to improve the world.”

“If you want to give 100 per cent, you have to feel that you are important for the manager.”

“With respect to the world of football, I earn a normal wage. But compared to 99.9% of Spain and the rest of the world, I earn an obscene amount.”

“I had the luck of being in Madrid. They sign some of the best players in the world, and that really leaves fewer opportunities for young players.”
