“I wanted to show the world, to show United that I was ready to play and I was motivated to play. This comeback just showed that I left United, but the power of my heart was still here, to be honest.”

I will not be touched if someone says, ‘I do not love you.’ You have the right. You do not have to love me.

Enjoy every moments in life.

I want to work, to be a great, to win everything.

Choose kindness over aggression.

Fashion has always been as big a part of my life as football has.

I just want to play, whether it’s on the right or the left. I give 100 per cent all the time.

There are so many things in life that make you sad, you have to be happy.

I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. When I was younger, I didn’t see my family. I’d go and train all the time, not seeing friends, leaving the country, and stuff like that.

If I play a bad game, I know I played a bad game. If I play a good game, I know I played a good game. So I don’t need anyone to tell me if I did good or bad – because I know it.

Give up? I don’t know what that means.

I play football; I do what I like.

Sometimes football can be cruel; cruel and also beautiful.

When I say I want to become a legend, some people say it’s pretentious. For me, it’s a challenge. My desire, a dream. I’m not saying I’ll get there, but it’s what I want.

Discrimination is the biggest problem in football today. We need to stop it.

Don’t look down to the world, look up to the creator.

When I was smaller, I always looked up to Zidane, Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo.

Truth is the key to unlocking the door to divine confidence. This is a truth that can be felt only when you get out of your head and into your heart. When you’re blind to this truth, you’re left to the limited power of your human will.

Your every act can open hearts and minds.

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.

We have to find the back door to peoples’ hearts because the front door is heavily guarded.

A big heart is both a clunky and a delicate thing; it doesn’t protect itself and it doesn’t hide. It stands out, like a baby’s fontanel, where you can see the soul pulse through.

Your inside person doesn’t age. Your inside person is soul, is heart, in the eternal now, the ageless, the old, the young, all the ages you’ve ever been.

Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.

You are your own highest authority. Do not place your source of authority outside of you. Go within to see if the truth you’ve found is in harmony with the truth you find in your heart.
