When I get on that pitch, I want to make an impact. That's all I can say.

My mindset's just focused on looking forward, bettering myself, getting on the pitch, on the training pitch, doing what I can do to improve myself.

In professional football, there are always going to be critics.

Every day, in every single walk of life, you can do something good, and people will have something bad to say about you. You just get on with it and do your job as best you can.

When I'm on the pitch, I just want to give as good a performance as possible.

As a player, you have to focus on the match and not too much on the surroundings.

I prefer to play as a striker, but I will do my best and try to win the game for my team as long as I am on the pitch.

You can't be looking into the past too much about what you could have done; it is about making things right and learning from that experience and taking it into the next game.

That's the most important thing - once you're on the pitch, you need to do your job properly.

That's Manchester United for you, a never-say-die attitude as you see time and time again.

Being at United, you always get quite disappointed if you don't get all three points, as you believe you can go into every single game and win it.

There's no better feeling than scoring in front of the Stretford End.

Sunderland was a turning point where I changed from a boy to a man. It was definitely the right thing for me to go on loan to another Premier League club. It helped me beyond words.

I've loved my time at Sunderland. It's benefited me so much, as I've just gained invaluable experience playing week-in, week-out in the Premier League and mixing it with the big boys.

In your mindset, you just have to know there's going to be another opportunity, and you have to keep focused.

I'm not just a fighter; I like to give love as well. I'm a lover, too.

There is always room to improve.

Manchester United is a club that means so much to me.

If you're getting goals and getting a run of games in your preferred position, your confidence is going to grow, and performances are going to grow as well.

People can say I've not scored enough goals, but you see the best strikers on the wing in a four-man midfield and see if they score goals. Nobody can really criticise my finishing because they don't really see me playing in a forward position too often.

Obviously, at Manchester United, I want to be working hard, and I have been doing that ever since I was a young kid.

I just want to keep on getting better and improving. Those extra hours on the training pitch, whether it be with the boys or individually, I am just looking to improve.

Playing for United is all I've ever wanted to do - it's the club I've supported all my life.

Sometimes you go into Nando's, and you want to tuck into the chicken wings with your fingers, but you know someone is watching you, so you don't. I'm sat there thinking, 'If these chicken wings were at home, they would get demolished!' But I've got to use a knife and fork, and you end up saying: 'Could I get a bag to take these home, please?'

To get a first goal for England was something I've dreamed of since I was a little kid.

It's football: sometimes you're fit, and sometimes you're not.

Football's football. You're going to come across the good and the bad, but you've got to take it all in your stride.

I'm a centre forward, and that is my preferred position. But I'll play on the wing or in midfield, wherever the manager wants me to play.

I have played up front for England, been away to tournaments, and scored goals there, so I know once I get into those positions I will put the chances away.

I am never happy if we are not winning.

It is good to get goals, but it is quite depressing if we don't win.

It is always good to be away with a few of the older lads because you pick up so much from them every day. You see how they prepare for games, how they rest, and how they train.

Some of the centre-backs are 90 kg. I'm only 70-something kilos - so I need to be strong.

It's really important at United that you've been brought up with that winning mentality.

It hurts a lot to see United not winning.

I used to get two buses to school, and you'd see more or less everyone in the city centre, so I kind of knew everyone around my age group.

There were a lot of people in Manchester that I was connected to, so it is a bit different coming to London and not knowing as many people.

There is no better feeling for a Manc kid than scoring for United.

Fletcher Moss was where it started for me and a lot of other players as well.

I've been at United ever since I was a little boy, and I had a great time there.

If you get a big injury, it is not easy at all to deal with it.

You play football for a reason... I am passionate about it.

At Arsenal, we're not short of combination football, and I like to join in on that and get in behind defenders and try to get shots off at goal.

I am one of those people that if you are going to say something, just say it. I take it on the chin.

My parents made me who I am. They are kind, generous, loving people.

We are a religious family. My mum still goes to church every Sunday. There was a time when I was younger when I started getting games on a Sunday, so it came down to a choice between going to church and playing football. I think my mum knew what I really loved, and she did not stop me from going to football.

People around me would never let me get too big-headed. At the end of the day, you're just another human being.

Each manager has their own ideas that they want to get across to the players, and how to do it.

Obviously, you want to win a trophy and finish as high up the table as possible. But it's important to focus game-by-game.

There's going to be bumps along the way, in any walk of life, not just as a professional footballer with injuries. You've got to be resilient with it and keep pushing through. It'll make you stronger as well.
