I hated getting to a Saturday and not having a game. For me it was about playing.
When you're a kid you want to be a striker, you want to be scoring goals. I still want to be scoring goals! It's the easiest part of football, no it's not, it's the best part of football - the one you enjoy the most. But I always knew that my particular skill set was more suited to being a goalkeeper.
You come across very few people in your life that really impact you.
Back in Manchester, I was not happy with myself.
Not everyone is Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Even Cristiano Ronaldo's first years at Manchester United were quite difficult.
I wanted to win trophies and play for the biggest club, and the biggest club in England is Manchester United.
I'm a big Manchester United fan. When I was a kid, I worked with a guy who was a Man United fan, and that was the first soccer team that I was turned on to.
It's a shame the Manchester United situation turned sour.
The pressure of being a goalkeeper is one of those things that attracts a lot of people to the position, if you don't have that, if you don't enjoy that pressure, I don't think you're suited to playing goalkeeper. It's about being strong mentally, being able to see the difference between making honest mistake and silly mistakes.
