I'm in such a privileged position to class football as my full-time job, to be captain of England, captain of Manchester City. I'm very lucky.

The fans of Manchester United are one of the best in the world. I felt the support of them from the first day, and I am really happy with them.

I remember once Manchester United were ahead of Manchester City by eight points and ended up losing it, so everything is possible in this life.

It does not bother me that £60m has been paid for me. I come here to work and play for the club and to do the best I can for Manchester United.

I felt within myself that I needed to change what I was doing. I needed a new stimuli. So the interest from Manchester United was a perfect fit.

We're always able to look at a position and have our view in terms of the list of targets that would suit Manchester United and augment our team.

That is one thing that is part of Manchester City, which we've taken with us from the olden days. We'll never give up while anything is possible.

We've got to rediscover the Manchester United way of playing, and I don't think many teams enjoy their nights at Old Trafford when we're on song.

You can play football in Bayern, in Barcelona, in Manchester, in London, wherever. In the end, it's football, and you want to play with the best.

I moved to Manchester to join a band and ended up getting into acting, and I moved back to London to become an actor and ended up joining a band.

I would never have left Everton for anybody but an ambitious football club. And I thought Manchester United would have given me that opportunity.

I've been to Manchester enough to know it's a real place. It's not Factory Records and the Smiths bicycling around. I get it. It's a modern city.

There are so many memories for me in Manchester. Everywhere I go, I think, 'I used to have boutiques here, clubs there, restaurants in that area.'

I'd spent the whole summer working in Manchester filming Citizen Khan and then went straight into the last couple of weeks of my wife's pregnancy.

It's a fact that Guardiola is joining Manchester City, and we have to respect that. But there is no truth in the rumours saying I will follow him.

I'd been coaching since the end of my playing career, first with England's Under 21s, then Manchester United, and finally, in Spain with Valencia.

You look at Man United and Liverpool, and they are red - they are much more successful and have a bigger fan base than Chelsea or Manchester City.

People talk about the history of Manchester United or Liverpool, but look what Arsenal achieved with the team of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.

I think the greatest goal I've ever scored is the one against Liverpool. It was amazing for me, and it really made my name in the Manchester team.

I got to play The Vortex in London with the Buzzcocks, the Fall, me and Johnny Thunders And The Heartbreakers. That was a serious Manchester night.

I'd like to thank my former club, Manchester City, for the support throughout my time in the Championship and during my transition to Huddersfield.

I work on 'A Question of Sport' which comes out of Manchester and you see how it's important to take parts of the BBC to other parts of the nation.

As a goalkeeper, I'm well aware that any mistake can be magnified by the fans. But it's true that here at Manchester United, there's added pressure.

I felt the same when I went to Manchester United, to Madrid, to Leverkusen, and now at West Ham. The only pressure I have is my pressure. That's it.

The team I support is Manchester City. And that's because a friend of mine, who I visited when I was in England, Alexander Zinchenko, plays for them.

We are about creating a new wave of talent. We are the Manchester United of kitchens now. Am I playing full-time in the kitchen? I am a player-coach.

I'm playing in the Premier League and my first two games could be against Manchester City and Liverpool. I don't think it gets much better than that.

I think Manchester United is a much bigger club than any manager in the world, and the manager who comes in should respect what Manchester United is.

Winning the FA Cup was a very big moment. You play for Manchester United to win trophies and play in games like that, so it was a great moment for me.

To go and watch Manchester United, whether it's home or away, is entertainment; it's goals - whether you concede goals or whether you can score goals.

I remember, in my first interview after I arrived in Manchester, I said, 'I didn't come here to play in the Champions League - I have come to win it.'

The biggest clubs in Europe, whether they be Barcelona, Madrid, Manchester United, or Chelsea, always want to win, whatever they are participating in.

Even though I'm in the changing room and I know I am, you still have to pinch yourself every night that you can say you're a Manchester United player.

Who wouldn't want to play for Real Madrid? Like Manchester, they are one of the best clubs in the world - and it would be a pleasure to play for them.

When I go home, it is quite difficult. Being at Manchester United means it is a huge thing, and when I walk down the street, most people recognize me.

Benfica against Manchester United is very special for me. Benfica is my real club but Manchester United is my English club. We are together in history.

I have family dotted everywhere - Dad's in California; I've got aunts in Scotland and Virginia; family in Kansas City; family in Manchester and London.

The Manchester City fans have their opinion on the Champions League. It is down to us, as players, to create the atmosphere in there and help the fans.

To be a Manchester United player, it requires a certain level of performance, mentality, and you have got to be proud to be a Manchester United player.

I like Manchester, I love the fans. They are great with me, the club is great with me. But I'm not happy if I don't play, and all the time I don't play.

I want to aspire to titles. Liverpool will always be a big club, but we are not at the level of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, or Arsenal.

I've got such close ties to both... Glasgow with all my family, then Manchester with all my mates that I grew up with. So my heart is definitely in both.

When you're at Manchester United there are a set of demands, and one is to be a team player, and I don't think anyone has been on the bench more than me!

At Performa in New York, there are a lot of commissions, but Manchester Festival is the only festival where everything is fully produced by the festival.

People have said, 'Oh, but you don't look like you're from Manchester.' And I always want to ask, 'What the hell does someone from Manchester look like?'

I was involved in school plays, but when I left school I did a couple of odd jobs as a baker's apprentice and then as a fruit market porter in Manchester.

If you want to stay at Manchester United and win trophies and be successful, then you have to work through the reserve games, and that is what I am doing.

There were a lot of clubs interested in me - a lot, really. But Manchester United appeared and didn't go away. They absolutely wanted me, and it happened.

The fans have always shown so much faith in my ability, and I feel so much love, both from supporters inside Manchester and from those all over the world.

I am sad to leave so many friends at Manchester United. But I am grateful to the club for allowing me the chance to take up the challenge at Chicago Fire.
