0:07 Do you feel a Mancunian now, at home now in England?
“Yeah, I feel comfortable, and I feel the support of the fans so that’s very important.”
0:18 New players and a new coach at United - what are your ambitions for this season do you think it can be successful?
“Of course we are ambitious, we want to win every game. We know the Premier League is a very difficult competition and we prepare every day to be ready and we will try to win every trophy that’s possible.”
0:41 Who’ve been your most difficult opponents you’ve found in your career but also now in the Premier League?
“It’s difficult to say, I have no names now so I don’t know.”
0:55 Tell us about yourself outside of football. How do you relax, how do you unwind, how do you get away from the pressure of football?
“In general, family time and I like to watch series and to just relax with family.”
1:13 Technology, is that important to see films and to watch things, your interests?
“Yeah, I think especially when we are travelling because we travel a lot so it’s important to stay connected with families, with friends and also if I want to watch a series.”
1:31 What’s the spirit in the team like at the moment, is it good do you all get along together?
“Good, good. We communicate a lot. The pre-season was very important for that, the tour what we did so yeah, it was important to build the spirit of this team.”
1:59 What do you see greatness being in a top manager, what are their qualities?
“I think obviously the communication with the players is very important and I think the message they can give to the players, the confidence, the trust. I think it’s very important.”
2:25 Looking back on your time in Spain particularly and now in the Premier League what do you see as the major differences between La Liga and the Premier League?
“I think in La Liga the teams prepare more to attack and it’s very technical. In England it’s more fast, more intense, more counter attacks so it’s a different [type of] football.
2:53 Which do you prefer?
“To be honest I like both, so it’s a different experience for me now.”
3:00 What would be your major ambitions, your personal targets for this season, presumably avoid injury would be one but what other targets do you have?
“I just want to help the team and to do my best, and improve my game so just want to do my best.”
3:18 TCL’s main mission statement is to inspire greatness. What do you think inspiring greatness means in footballers, players and managers?
“I think we are a proud of this [ability], but it’s also comes with responsibility for us. So we try to do our best.”
3:40 Do you think being a role model is an important part of being a player, to help young people with their education and looking after their bodies and so on?
“Yeah, I think it’s important we can help young people how to flow
