The star-jump technique - that is a big part of being a handball goalkeeper, and I brought that move into football. It is a very effective way of saving a chance.

If you're mentally ready, you're willing to go the extra mile.

I played handball up until I joined United, both as a goalkeeper and an outfield player.

I don't think spending money is a guarantee for anything.

Neuer is the best goalkeeper in the world by far.

People remember the treble in 1999 as if we only had to turn up to collect three trophies. But on that cup run, we were 1-0 down against Liverpool going into injury time, and we turned it around to win 2-1. And everyone remembers the Champions League final in Barcelona, where the same thing happened.

If he is having a bad game, a team-mate might feel Paul Scholes is not quite on his game, but a spectator wouldn't notice. Scholes, of all the players I have played with, has the highest bottom level.

When David De Gea first came to the Premier League, he was a small boy.

It's not the mistake that's important; it's how you recover from it. If you recover instantly, in that second, it's gone from your mind. You play on and don't make the next mistake, and that's the sign of a top keeper. Joe Hart certainly is one of those guys.

Goalkeeping is very, very much about confidence and thinking you are the man.

Penalty shoot-outs are the most high-pressure situation that a goalkeeper will face, and in a World Cup, it's even worse because the stakes are so high.

You will never see United manager Sir Alex Ferguson in the media taking problems he has or the squad has or the club has into the open. Never, ever. But you do see that at Manchester City.

People talk about the hair dryer and all this with Sir Alex Ferguson. What was really great about him, whatever happened in a game, he would spend whatever minutes it took him to get this out of this system and say whatever needed to be said. Once he said, 'Get your bath,' that was it. We knew that it would never return.

Football has changed. There are no more Zvonimir Bobans or individuals who win games by themselves.

When you look at the goals he has been criticised for, at some point they could have been prevented by a defender, or it was a misunderstanding. It is not down to Joe Hart on his own.

I would never bring in a player to make a statement.

My mother really wanted me to go to school and to university, but I was adamant that I wanted to be a football player.

Any beginning is difficult, but when you're opening the newspaper every day, and it's all about how bad you are, sometimes even you begin to believe that.

I'm quite good at golf. I'm not amazing, but I play a lot.

The fear of letting people down - that's the drive. Sir Alex, I think, if he was brave enough to say it, he would say the same, but in his eyes, the motivating factor is that you want to be the best.

There's no doubt: nobody can argue that Manchester United is not the biggest club in the world. It is.

It all comes down to which way you hit the post. Do you hit it on the inside or the outside? Does it go in, or does it go out?

I have no regrets about leaving, and I don't miss being at United at all.

If you are not a good team, you will never get to the final day of the Premier League season or the final of the FA Cup.

I am crazy about Leicester; I am crazy about the owners - they are fantastic and really good for the Premier League.

It is very nice Kasper has now also won the Premier League, too. I am very proud; I think he has done a fantastic job. It has been amazing to bring this lad into the world and bring him up and hear his wishes and hopes for the future, his ambitions; he made it fairly clear early on that he wanted to become a footballer.

Sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up and say you've been beaten by a quality free-kick.

When you're young, you want to do everything. You want to go out and find girls; you want to have a drink - there are a lot of things you want to do. But if you want to make it to the top, there are a lot of things you can't do.

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.

It is important that Manchester United keeps its identity. Their heritage is to produce and develop players, something that started with Sir Matt and continued with Sir Alex Ferguson.

Real Madrid will be the first team to claim two Champions League trophies in a row.

Neuer is the world's No.1 keeper and can be used as a role model for all young keepers. He has everything a goalkeeper needs to have.

There are hundreds of players who are trying to be a Beckham or Cantona but do not have the personality, and they fail.

When I arrived at Manchester United, the club hadn't won the league for 26 years, and then in my first year, they won the championship.

I have had a fantastic career with United, and I owe it to the club, players, and fans to do everything I can to finish on a successful note.

This is something you learn as soon as you walk through the doors at Old Trafford: that you're never better than your last performance. You always have to improve on your last performance.

You can't just walk into Old Trafford, and you're there. There's so much to get used to.

If Sir Alex says, 'Listen, I want you to play for my team,' it's very difficult not to say yes.

On some occasions, it is every footballer's dream to play for the national team, but if you don't reach it, you always need to work harder to reach a higher level, a level you wouldn't reach if you didn't have this as a goal.

Goalkeeping is now at a point where it's a very popular position.

Kids want to play in goal.

In the future, you'll see many more nominations for big awards going to goalkeepers.

If we should have any regrets as Manchester United, that is that we only gave David Moyes seven months. I think we should have given him more time, accepted that results weren't going to be the way we hoped they would be and that playing would be a little bit different. I believe he would have grown into that role.

You don't sign a player for the sake of it.

You've got to get a certain amount of sleep. You've got to eat the right thing. You've got to train in the right manner. You've got to behave in the right manner.

Neuer is simply sensational.

For 99.9% of the players there, they are at United because they want to be at United, and it is their dream move. That gives United a little bit of an advantage over other clubs, where some players are maybe there because there was financial pressure for them to be sold.

At United, everyone is there because they want to be there.

I read about Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the newspapers. I would love for him to come to Manchester United; I've said this for a long time. He was born to play for Manchester United.

It's always going to be difficult for Asian countries to create big leagues because Europe is so settled.
