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. ”

It's a great privilege to be part of a club like United, and I'm keen to do my best and show what I can do. ”

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

It is great that a goalkeeper as good as Iker has said that I could be the best of them all. ”

Being the Manchester United goalkeeper is one of the most difficult jobs in football when you look at the size of the club and the goalkeepers who have been here before. There is a lot of pressure on you, but I have worked hard to cope with that. ”

Everyone knows Iker Casillas. We have all followed him being at the top level for so many years. What he has done for the national team is something impossible to equal. But I try and learn from him when we are there,and train the best I can. ”

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. ”

Manchester United are a great club, and being associated with them is a great compliment for me, but Atletico are also great. ”

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. ”

Football is cruel at times; it's difficult. When things go well, you're very good, and when they go badly, well, it's awful. ”
