PHIL NEVILLE

At the end of the day, if I'm playing for a manager who I know cares about me, then I'm going to give more.

When you come up against a big, powerful football nation, you are playing against history. When you talk about street football, you are talking about South American players who have grown up with nothing.

I could play anywhere. I played everywhere on the pitch for United, apart from No. 9 or keeper.

People make a big thing about rankings, but being first or second in the world doesn't mean much if you don't actually win anything.

A takeover or a player doing something wrong can take the focus away from what the most important thing is, which is to play football.

Our style of play is non-negotiable, but we also have to become ruthless serial winners.

Whether you're male or female, going to a World Cup is the biggest thing that will ever happen in your life.

I don't want to rush into retirement and regret it, because people say play as long as possible until the legs can't take any more.

When it came to Sociedad, I didn't want to come back into football so soon after the Manchester United experience.

The SheBelieves was my big moment, my big breakthrough. We had to get on that platform, hold that trophy, and have that medal around our necks.

Before I retired, I had agreed to join the BBC to work as a pundit, with my contract beginning at the start of the 2014/15 season.

There is this preconceived idea that I would follow the likes of Michael Owen, Jamie Carragher, and Gary into the media because it's a really good life. But football is my life.

I want to be part of Man United's future. I'm a Man United person.

It's our English mentality to worry about the weather.

I always say I'll rest when I die - that's my motto. I just hope I don't die before the World Cup!

There has always been an inner self-motivation for me. Mine goes back to my United days of us against the world and proving everyone wrong.

I've been the captain of a Premier League club, and I've coached some of the best players in the world.

The most important thing is to be successful on the field. Being second in the world is an unbelievable achievement. But for me, as a coach, you want to be the best - you get nothing for being second. We want to be the best in our field.

There's no shortcut to being a manager or coach.

As a manager, you can only worry about those who can get on the bus, and those are the fit ones. Injuries and illnesses mean opportunities for others.

I'm working with elite players, and they test and challenge you.

I didn't win a trophy with Everton, but that time is just as special as my playing career at United.

Rankings aren't that important to me. I want a winners' medal.

I have got two paths - one to go into the media, the other to go into coaching and management. I have got offers from both.

I don't think football management is easy.
