I've had fans coming up to me and speaking Chinese or Japanese. It's not a case of mistaken nationality. I just don't think they realise that we don't all speak the same language.

I have a lot of good memories, especially the days when I have lifted trophies. They are great feelings. That is why Manchester United players want to lift trophies again and again.

It's unbelievable. I never thought I could play for United 200 times.

Sometimes I miss playing football, but it's a past thing now.

Gradually, football has seen its appeal slip at the most basic levels. Pediatricians are advising parents not to let young children play organized football too early in life.

I had my father on the Under-21 team and during the World Cup in France in 1998 - and also in AC Milan for four months. So it was a weird experience, because having your father as a coach is pretty weird, and I was the captain. But he was great.

My dream is to get the young people off the streets, to make it possible for them to play football in the stadium instead.

I'm happy to be in the centre for Wales - that's my favourite position and where I play my best football.
