It’s not always the player that’s talking in the dressing room that becomes a good manager. It’s a feeling that you need to develop, it’s a feeling that needs to grow on you.

Of course, when you play football yourself you can think you want to become a manager but it does not make you a good manager.
- Football

- Nov 07, 2020
It sounds strange, maybe, because I have played with a lot of big players but I never thought: ‘OK, they’re going to go into management.' Maybe there was only one, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, because he was always talking about football but I did not have a feeling with the other players.
- Vision

As a manager, you need to have your own vision and what you want to do with the team.

Because at the end of the day, it's the most important thing that you do well, that you achieve goals that you want to achieve and where you want to go to as a club.

I just played football from an early age and didn't get involved in any other sports. We had tennis, cycling, ice skating - I'd like to have skated more, because it's so physical. Ten minutes on the ice and you really feel it in your back.

If I hadn't made it as a footballer I would have been an electrician. I studied to be an electrician even though I was progressing at football because you never know at that stage if you are going to be there for sure.

All of Europe's biggest clubs place the Champions' League as their top priority these days but only one of us can lift the trophy. The domestic league titles are still crucial of course, but I think most players will tell you the Champions' League is the one they want to win most of all.
- Look

- Nov 07, 2020
As a defender it can also be more frustrating to play in Italy because referees do not tolerate too much physical contact. I loved the physical nature of the game in England, but in Serie A I only have to look at a player and they sometimes fall to the floor!

I have always been a Manchester United supporter since I was a child, so that won't change.
