I'm very attached to Real, more so than Barcelona.
But then I always wanted to play for Rangers. Man United is a great club and Alex Ferguson is a legend.
I prefer Real Madrid to Barcelona.
Manchester United? That's not an option. I am staying at Bayern Munich. Period. I had a great time under Van Gaal at Bayern, he has been very important for my career but I am very happy at my current club.
If one day I have to leave Barcelona, probably the first thing I will look into is Arsenal
I actually had the chance to sign for Newcastle before I went to West Ham; I didn't in the end because they had got rid of their reserve team. There were a few clubs interested but I liked what West Ham had to offer and never regretted signing for them, I loved it straight away.
There were a lot of clubs interested in me, but United is the only club that I would have left Real Madrid for.
I do not want to play in an English club in mid-table.
Namely I'm a fan of sides like Lyon, Marseille, PSG, but there is no preference. All these clubs, as well as Bordeaux, have a great history.
I was brought up to not like Man United.
I do not necessarily want to play for the best team in the world. I would prefer to win the Champions League with Dortmund than six with another club.
I would never go to another club in the Bundesliga. After Bayern Munich, it would only be a step down.
There is no denying that the English league is perfect for me, but there are nice clubs elsewhere, too.
They wanted to play me central midfield when I was at Aston Villa, so that's why we left. Things were going good at Coventry, but then scouts from Manchester United and different clubs around England were watching me, and I don't think Coventry liked that.
I am much more grateful and linked to Real Madrid than to Barcelona.
