"I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United." "I was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy." "I'm living a dream I never want to wake up from." "Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can." "Maybe they hate me because im too good!" "I would be very proud if, one day, I'm held in the same esteem as George Best or Beckham. It's what I'm working hard towards." "The No 7 shirt is an honor and a responsibility. I hope it brings me a lot of luck." "Now we're in the final we must win, and can't think the job is over. We'll give everything and we're convinced we can do it." "But I hope to maintain my credibility after I stop playing. Because, yes of course, now I play and I score goals and children all over are mad about me. Not just poor children - all children. We can make them really happy by the way we play, though I have to say that it's the poor ones that I think of most, the ones who can't come and watch the games at the stadium. We mean so much to them. That's why I'm so committed to this work. Later, after you've stopped playing, it's harder to have the same impact. But I will give it a go. I want to continue doing this kind of work for ever." "It gives me the happiest feeling in the world. I just love scoring. It doesn't matter if it's a simple goal from close range, a long shot or a dribble around several players, I just love to score all goals." *These are just a few of many of this portuguese players inspiring words...*
