Too much money at a young age, it just takes your eye off the ball. And you're not as hungry as players used to be. You think you've made it before you've done anything
I am proud of my black roots and of the black blood that runs in my veins
As players, you just play for the club. I love Man United, I'm going to play for Man United, and that's what my focus is on.
