You have to try and do everything to show your best qualities; otherwise, you will not be here anymore.

I want to do everything to get to a new level.

English football is really different to football in other countries.

As tough as it was for us with my father gone, my mother and sister were always pushing me. They even let me go to Brazil by myself when I was 13 to train with Sao Paulo for four months.

I dreamed of being like Kaka, and Brazil was the home of that creative style, which the Brazilians call ginga.

The Brazilians are amazing in their nature. You cannot describe it; you must feel that warmth when you're around them to understand.

When I returned to Armenia after four months in Brazil, I was still quite skinny and weak, but I had technique and skill.

I think the first goal can be weight off your shoulders.

I went a long way to play in Manchester United, so nothing will prevent me from achieving my dream.

I will not retreat; I will find the strength to reach my goal.

My time with my father would be very meaningful, but also very short.

I didn't know it, but my father had a brain tumour. Everything happened very fast. Within a year, he was gone. Because I was so young, I didn't completely understand the concept of death.

The year after my father died, I started football training. He was the drive for me; he was my idol. I said to myself, 'I have to run just like him. I have to shoot just like him.'

It doesn't matter if they buy me for, I don't know, £38 million or £40m - I am not guaranteed to play the games.

I went a long way to play for Manchester United, so nothing will prevent me from achieving my dream.

As a footballer, you just have to try to learn what you've done bad and what I could do good.

Different managers give confidence in different ways. Some by hugging, others by talking or having conversations.

Brazil was a very good experience. I learned a lot about how to play football, both technical and physical. There would be a hundred kids of all ages, training and doing classes together.

There are no disappointments, just challenges.

I never give up when I encounter obstacles in my way. I just continue going until I reach my career objectives.

Regarding Jose Mourinho, I hope I can learn a lot from him - he is a coach with a fantastic record.

It is very difficult when you grow up without a father because you don't have a man who can give you direction and discipline.

In my case, my mother had to be my mother and father, so I am thankful to her.

I believe playing for such a great club like United honours my father's memory, and the inspiration and drive he gave to me when I was young. I hope he is proud looking at me from the sky.

You know that if you play football, you have to try to do the maximum, so I'm always doing the maximum for myself because when I retire from football, I want to sit down and think I did something good - I won this title, and I won this title. People will talk about what you have won, and that is the most important thing in football.

For Manchest United, every cup is very important. A trophy is a trophy.

It doesn't matter if it is the League Cup, the FA Cup, or the Europa League. We want to do our best to try and win them all.

When I watched the Premier League on the telly, I didn't expect it to be that hard. The opponents are all physically strong, real athletes. It wasn't like that in Germany. You must be prepared for it. But I prepared myself for it.

I don't want to miss anything. Life's too short to pass on something.

It's not called the Theatre of Dreams for nothing.

In the '80s, before I was born, my dad played in the old Soviet Top League in our home country of Armenia. He was a small but very quick striker. 'Soviet Soldier' magazine actually honoured him with its 'Knight of Attack' award in 1984.

In 1989, when I was just a baby, we moved to France because of some conflicts that were brewing in Armenia.

My father played five years for Valence in France's second division. I'd always cry when he would leave for training. Every morning, I'd say, 'Dad, take me with you. Please, please take me with you!'

By the time I was 10 years old, my entire life was football. Training, reading, watching, even playing football on PlayStation. I was totally focused on it. I especially loved the creative players - the maestros.

When your dreams are close to coming true, it does not feel real at first.

It would be fair to say that the start of my life in Manchester was not perfect, but there have been many other times when I've had setbacks, and I have never given up.

When you walk onto the pitch at Old Trafford, it is not just a pitch, it is a stage. If my father could see me on that stage, I think he would be very proud. I was always kind of chasing him, and I think even though he's not here, he helped me to get to this place.

I've learned a lot from my mistakes.

Tactics are just a part of football because the players are playing.

Everything is up to the players and not the tactics. They're just small details that can show you the way to play.

The most important competition is always the next match.

I had three very successful years in Germany with Borussia Dortmund, but I had the opportunity to move to one of the biggest clubs in the highest-profile league in the world.

I was always taught by my father to challenge myself and to continue to evolve in my career, and I saw the move to Manchester United as an opportunity to grow as a player and as a person.

It was definitely not the salary that made me join Manchester United; I went for football reasons - for the history of the club, the league, the fans, and the coach because he is one of the best in the world.

I like to win the difficulties, because when you win the difficulties, it makes you stronger, so I'm trying to do everything to come up to a new level.

I like to play attacking, like a winger, or an attacking midfielder, so it depends on the coach, where he's looking at me for which position.

If you play football, you have to try to do the maximum, so I'm always doing the maximum for myself because, after my football career, I want to sit down and think I did something good.

I always wanted to become a football player, and I thank my parents, as they helped me so much to realise this dream. They always supported me on my path.

Not so many Armenian players are given the chance to play in the Champions League, and this is really important for me, because I want to do everything to impress the children who are watching me playing.

Every person has to keep in mind that they can grow up and reach the top, no matter where they are born, whether it's in Russia, in Ukraine, in Europe; they've still got the opportunity to show their talent and the culture of their people.
