The one way of getting better is by practising – both on and off the pitch.
When you win the title, you have a great few days, and then it’s gone; you’re already looking forward to the next season.
There are two things I will always remember. First, a shot against Derby that hit the inside of the post but didn’t go in, and we could only draw 2-2. And then the really big chance against Bayer Leverkusen, two minutes from the end of the Champions League semi-final, when I shot over the bar. That hurt a lot.
My dad used to be a Greco-Roman wrestler, and he was Norwegian champion six years on the bounce from 1966 to 1971. But I never saw him wrestle. I’ve only read the clippings.
When you turn round games, that’s the best feeling you have in games.

It’s not about tippy-tappy, namby-pamby football. It’s a battle, and we have to be ready for it.

If you are a regular at Manchester United, I think you should grasp the opportunity to stay here and become part of the history.
