I'm very attached to Real, more so than Barcelona.
I prefer Real Madrid to Barcelona.
But then I always wanted to play for Rangers. Man United is a great club and Alex Ferguson is a legend.
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 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.
I was brought up to not like Man United.
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.
