Clubs don't change managers unless there is something wrong.

I think the Swansea-Cardiff rivalry is good.

Molde fits me very well; Man United fits me very well because it's in me. It's in your personality. It's ingrained in you. I understand the club.

When you are a professional, you go into the next game wanting to win.

When people doubt me, I love it.

I am not a city guy; I like peaceful surroundings and maybe a walk around a lake.

That's the most important thing in football: you need to take chances when you get them.

If you lose, you are out; if you win, you are the flavour of the month.

Manchester United have always stood up again and bounced back; it's just in the DNA.

Old Trafford is home.

I'm proud of my career as a player.

My dad used to be a Greco-Roman wrestler, and he was Norwegian champion six years on the bounce from 1966 to 1971. But I never saw him wrestle. I've only read the clippings.

You can never set the bar too high.

The only way I know to get out of disappointment is to work hard, keep doing the right things, and don't make any rash decisions.

When you are in a football club, you stick together. That's the key.

My best ability was in just being ready when I was called upon. Then, I would be fit, and my legs would be light. If you sulk and are on the bench, and the gaffer calls you on, you are not ready because there's something going on in your head.

I wouldn't be in football if I was nervous. You have to look forward to games.

Everything isn't exactly what it seems from the outside.

It's not about tippy-tappy, namby-pamby football. It's a battle, and we have to be ready for it.

Confidence is not something you store in the fridge and pick out. You earn it by your performances, by your training, how you feel.

You want all the money inside football. We do not have a bottomless pit of money. There are constraints. That's why some deals I have said no to because of the finances of them.

I am not an emotional person, really.

When you're at Manchester United there are a set of demands, and one is to be a team player, and I don't think anyone has been on the bench more than me!

In any game, you have to work to stay in it, especially away against a good team like Southampton. It's a fantastic club and one I've said on a few occasions Cardiff City would do well to emulate, both on and off the field.

In games, you have plans, you have strategies, and you follow them.
