Manchester United is an exceptional club and I'm thrilled to be joining them.
Any time you've played different sports - for me, it has always been basketball; that is an instinctual sport. You're dribbling the ball, passing. I'm sure that has helped me a lot along the line with helping with my football instincts.
I was asked a question: 'Would I want to play for Madrid?' It's like anyone asked if they want to change jobs and move to a bigger company.
As soon as I knew Liverpool were interested in me, I knew I wanted to come here. It was everything about the club, the history and these players.
I had good times with Juventus but when you are offered the chance to come to Real at almost 33 years of age it is a great opportunity.
I started at Benfica: not as big but one of the biggest clubs in Portugal. I've played for Real Madrid. Then I moved to Manchester United, from a giant to another giant.
Malaga were the club that bid the hardest for me, and they were the first, too. When Villarreal told me that they wanted to sell me, I chose them.
I definitely did not fail at Chelsea. I always had my chance, scored important goals in the first season. At the end I just wanted the transfer, although Jose Mourinho wanted me to stay.
I am delighted to be joining a big English club. I know very well the quality that Chelsea has.
Yes, I applied a lot of what I did in football to golf.
Among the clubs that most wanted to recruit me were Marseille and Leicester.
I was really close to joining Barcelona, but in the end, it wasn't to be.
I joined Liverpool in 1978. I was the record signing between English clubs.
I can categorically tell you that Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool.
Before I came to Italy to play for Milan in 2007, I saw in the papers that my name was mentioned in connection with some English clubs.
Some people want to stay with one team but they get traded.
I really like Manchester City. They have put everything into trying to sign me so that I can be there and that is welcome.
It's always a pleasure to know clubs like Chelsea, with their ambitious owner, are interested in you.
Indiana wanted to go in a different direction, wanted to go younger, and the Lakers wanted me, so I said, who wouldn't want to be in L.A? That was a no-brainer.
I was looking forward to playing soccer, playing more minutes on the pitch, and I didn't have the chance to play more minutes in Manchester. So I came here to the Chicago Fire.
