Ashley Young

There's no better feeling than coming off the pitch knowing you've won the game.

I'm just the same as everyone - I can remember, growing up, watching the World Cup.

I'm still operating as a wide player, and I'm still free to express myself, try to get one-v-one and get past someone, and there's no better feeling than getting over a great cross and someone scoring.

Once you look back on your career when it's over, you can say, 'This is what I achieved,' or, 'This is what I'm driving.'

I am one of those players who has many scars up and down my legs from being kicked, but I know I have a job to do, and beating my opponent is my goal.

Of course I have aspirations and ambitions to play for my country.

You don't enter a competition not to win it.

A lot of youngsters in the game think they've made it before they've done anything. But at United, they're given that winning mentality and an ethos of always trying to improve.

I've always said, when you join a club like United, it's a tough place to play at. But if you play and train and give 100%, then get your opportunity - I've always said you always get your opportunity there.

I've shown I am deserving to be in the England squad, but I don't just want a place in the squad; I want to be in the team.

It's up to me to use my brain, be clever, find the pockets of space, and get on the ball.

I've always got that determination, to get back in the squad and get back playing.
