‘But, if needed, I think maybe United fans can go to the door of his house and stay there all night. If needed, I think they will go for sure.

‘We all want and all believe that he is going to stay with us one more season.

‘Only a silly player comes to England when he is 35-years-old and with the successful career that Zlatan has. Only a silly player comes here if he doesn’t feel that he can do it.  

‘The most important feeling is his feeling. I don’t bring him here if he doesn’t want to come, if he’s not ready. It’s his character mine. Everything is from him, nothing from me.’

‘This is what I came for,’ 

 ‘I came to win and I am winning. I just have to keep going, but the more I win the more satisfied I get.

‘You appreciate it more the older you get. In the beginning it is more like fun, you don’t realise what a trophy means.

‘The older I get, the more mature I get, the more I am surrounded a winning mentality. It is all about winning those trophies. This is what I am doing. Wherever I have gone I have won.

‘This is what I predicted. Everything I thought would happen has. I think the other ones didn’t see it. When I came here to show them what I saw apparently to many I could not do it.
