Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can.

I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.

I think sometimes the best training is to rest.

To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.

There are people out there who hate me and who say I'm arrogant, vain, and whatever. That's all part of my success. I am made to be the best.

When you are nominated for the best player in Europe, the Ballon d'Or, playing in the Champions League, there is so much pressure. You don't know what will happen. This pressure is inside you - you always have it.
