I just wanted to be one of these stars and play in this team. Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had. I definitely want my son Brooklyn to be christened, but I don't know into what religion yet. The simple truth is that I am very happily married, have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing that any third party can do to change these facts.
The way I and my family have been treated is an absolute disgrace. At the end of the day, I'm a nice person and loving husband and father. I've been called a bad father, I've been called a bad husband and my wife has been called a bad mother.
Things always hurt that are said about my family, and for people to call my wife a bad mother is unbelievable. I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father. People can say what they like. But me and Victoria will always stay together as husband and wife. It's one thing I like about America - they respect the sportsman. They put them up on a pedestal. They don't try to knock them down.
And that's a great thing, to be respected by the whole country. It's so patriotic! You can practice penalties till the cows come home but it is different when you are out there in front of 60, people and the pressure is on.
I have come to accept that if I have a new haircut it is front page news. But having a picture of my foot on the front page of a national newspaper is a bit exceptional. Friends don't do that. I've probably had more contact with Judaism than with any other religion I used to wear the traditional Jewish skullcaps when I was younger, and I also went along to some Jewish weddings with my grandfather.
