I just want to continue doing what I'm doing, playing well and starting the games - but I want to score, too.

All I ever wanted was to play regularly and now that I'm doing that, there's no doubt my confidence is higher and that helps any player.

That's what Brazilians are like - we're always having a laugh, we're always smiling, and my aim is to bring this spirit into the dressing room and onto the pitch, to play with a smile on my face.

Anderson is a really lively guy, a really cheerful guy.

I have always been an extremely professional guy with everything.

I would never do anything that would harm me, and I am totally against using any kind of resource, illicitly, to benefit myself in any way.

I think I am strong on the field, I am versatile, I can play in several midfield positions. Some coaches like that, it grabs their attention, it is a big deal for me.
- Fred

Versatility, quality, good passing... I think all that catches coaches' eyes.

We have to shut up and work on the pitch.

Some critics are pointless - but many can offer me lessons.

I like to read what people are saying about my performances. With that, I can try to get better.

England is the most competitive league in the world.

A great coach like Guardiola and a great team like City... I would develop a lot with them.

It would be a dream to follow Fernandinho's footsteps, because he is my role model.

I suffered a lot of criticism from the press and the fans, but I always kept motivating myself, working. I never dropped the shuttlecock.

I was even treated as a 'flop,' a contract that doesn't pay. But I kept working my best.

If people criticise, you have to keep working.

Sometimes it is good to hear criticism because you are more attentive.

I think my ideal position is to join the attack a bit more like I did at Shakhtar. I played more as a box-to-box midfielder, so I played a little bit further forward.

Michael Carrick helps me a lot day-to-day. We always talk and he tries to help me with my positioning on the field. He's someone who always talks to me, which is important for adapting my football to the Premier League.

I want to be a big player and be part of the history of Man United. I already am, but I want to make history here at the club and to win some trophies, so that is my goal at Man United.

The English league is difficult and has lots of big clubs but I think the derbies are the best games to play so, when we see the fixture list, we look at those games first.
- Fred
Image of Fred
It's hard to pick out a single team, because there are so many big games here in the Premier League, obviously there are the top teams like Liverpool, City, Chelsea, I think those big games, the 'big six' are always good. We always look forward to them, we all want to be on the pitch and to win them.

We are all the same regardless of skin colour, hair and gender. We came from the same place and we all go to the same place when it's all said and done.
- Fred

We need to treat all games equally and go after the wins because we need to keep improving.

I have changed a few things since playing in Europe, and for the better.

Foreign football is different and it has helped me evolve and mature, improving my attitude.

I know all young players have to work hard.

From my personal observations, the Spanish style of play, with a large number of passes, is somewhat similar to the Brazilian one.

Unfortunately, defeats are part of the game.

It's very good for a 22-year-old player to feature in a Copa America.

Neymar is a great player, it is so difficult to mark him.
- Fred

For me, I think the toughest player I came up against was Messi; he's out of this world, he's a genius. For me he's the best in the world, a great player and I think he's the toughest opponent I've played against.

When you play at a big club, there will always be competition - I'm used to it. It's been like that from day one at United.

For a club like Manchester United, it's not a good season without a title.

If we don't believe in ourselves, who else will?

My father signed me up for football training when I was only four and my grandfather also used to take me.
