In another country, at another club, the fans would not be the same as at Manchester United.

I think I have improved a lot since I arrived in England.

When I'm on the pitch, I only think about helping the team and doing well.

You have to be as strong when things go wrong, but I don't get nervous.

I'm a big fan of the PlayStation, so I spend quite a bit of time doing that.

Being part of such a great club like Manchester United fills you with emotion, and you gradually realise how much the club means to the fans and the people who work here. They really live for the game, so that does become part of you, and you can only appreciate that having spent time here.

I am a guy who likes to put the bad things and difficult times behind me.

Every goalkeeper has their own strong points and qualities. What I like to do is focus on every keeper. You can pick bits out of every keeper where they are particularly strong, and you can learn from things like that.

It is unbelievable, the fans in China.

Eric Steele was a great goalkeeping coach who always looked after me, and I will remember that.

When you see Zlatan up close, he's even more imposing than on the television. Zlatan is very, very big, very strong, and his control of the ball is incredible. It can seem like he's not there, and then he goes and scores the decisive goal.

I have worked hard in the gym lifting heavy weights and doing a lot of exercises.

The style is the same at all levels, which facilitates things: bring the ball out from the back, keep possession, work gaps to create chances. It's like that from the Under-15s all the way through. That's the Spanish way, and it has triumphed.

We are Manchester United, and we want to fight for everything.

That is football. In the end, all clubs spend money.

English football is different, especially for a goalkeeper. It's more aggressive, more physical. It's far, far harder. The ball is in the air more, and you get pushed about. And the referees don't blow anything!

I don't obsess over mistakes, because they do happen, so I just keep working and training hard. I just keep helping the team, which is key.

With any coach, you have a lot of respect for him, but it is difficult to be their friend.

I like watching films, going out for a bite to eat and drink, and some shopping.

Getting to the national team is very complicated.

It's difficult to say with words what Manchester United means for me. For anyone. It's amazing to play for this club, with the history of this club, for the fans, for everything. It's amazing to be part of this club.

It would be great to have more Spanish players at Manchester United.

When you do things wrong, even a couple of mistakes, the press has the right to criticise. Much more so when you're a goalkeeper - who remain in the spotlight forever.

Everyone who works for Manchester respected me. I tried to help, and I am very grateful to them.

To be fair, when you are really young, you don't think about the future too much. You just want to play with your friends. When you get older, you start to dream about being there, about being at a top team, so of course it's a dream to be at a team like Manchester United.
