When the big clubs, and Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, is interested in you, it's an honour and it's a kind of an acceptance of what you play - so it's a good thing.

I tend to comfort eat when I am frustrated.
Insulting players and coaches and spitting on us is simply wrong. You cannot go out and walk around town and just start insulting people or spit at them either.
In Germany, too many clubs are too scared of Bayern, both on and off the pitch.
Low and I needed some time to get used to each other.
Anything is possible in football.
I was always proud, and still am, to wear the BVB jersey and to be part of this exceptional team.
After Euro 2012, I had very little holiday and almost no desire to play football. I was slipping into depression, from all the travelling.
I don't really notice the loss of one kilogram when I run, but I do when it's more than one.
At the German FA, they don't like criticism.
For me personally, nothing ever changes. When I go out onto the pitch, I always want to win. All the other circumstances, whether we're favourites or underdogs, whether we're under pressure or not, doesn't make a big difference.
In top form, Messi is the best footballer I have ever seen - period.
As soon as I heard of Common Goal I knew this was a chance for football to improve our world and I wanted to be part of it.
I feel we could be doing more to connect the increasing revenues in football to some kind of deeper purpose. This is what struck me about Common Goal. Through the one percent pledge, we are building a bridge between football and social impact around the world.
If a coach wants me to stay, then I think it's good that he doesn't just butter things up, but actually tells the truth.
I think we need to start to punish time wasting more rigorously, for example with more additional time or earlier yellow cards.
A video referee is useful for sure.
Some people may say wrong decisions belong in football, but if a final is decided in the 90th minute by a wrong decision, for me that is not a fair result.
I played together with Lewandowski for many years, so I know a good striker when I see one.
If seven or eight players play offensively, then it's clear that the offensive force is greater than the defensive stability. That's what I often say internally.
If you win, you just enjoy it.
I am not the kind of person who always hopes for the easiest opponent.
For Zidane to say he's impressed - well, that's the greatest compliment! He was my role model, I just loved to see him play, and I used to try and imitate his moves when I was young. I think he was by far the best footballer of his generation.
I am convinced Klopp can win the league at Liverpool. He has shown he doesn't need the biggest transfer budget or the biggest name to win the biggest trophies.
I believe that, in principle, it is easier to get into the national team if you perform well at Bayern, compared to what the benefits of playing for other clubs are.
If someone plays five good games in a row for the Bavarians, there is more talk about them being in the national team than of those who play five good games in a row for Dortmund or Wolfsburg or Bayer Leverkusen.
I've never measured success in terms of trophies. I would never say, 'If I have never won the Champions League, I am not happy in life.'
I do not necessarily want to play for the best team in the world. I would prefer to win the Champions League with Dortmund than six with another club.
If you are a player and you don't really retire by yourself there should still be an opportunity to qualify for the national team.
There will always be players injured or suspended.
Who would not like to play for Juve?
I am honoured by Juve's interest in my services.
The first half of the 2014-15 season was a disaster for me in relation to my weight.
I'm definitely a fan of giving a German-speaking team a German-speaking coach.
Sometimes you can get into a fight but you know everything the next day will be okay.
I can't say I am a Liverpool fan. I don't have a club in England. I just want Klopp to win. If he was coach of another team, I would support them.
I cheer for Klopp.
Fans seemingly project their frustration and anger on the players and coaches. This results in insults and even in people spitting at us.
At the end of the day, everyone is repsonsible for their own contracts. Nobody forced us to sign them.
I realize in every year I don't win a title, I'm closer to retiring.
Age gives you a feeling that you don't have forever to win.
The Champions League is a target for me in any case. I want to win this title.
There will always be someone who can pay more than BVB. But Dortmund have made a lot of progress during my time here.
We earn enough here in Dortmund.
If one day I start thinking about playing abroad, money won't be the reason.
Training and playing are different things. I've noticed it. If you come in and you realise after six minutes that it is tiring, then that is a clear difference to training.
Some days I think I would definitely like to move abroad but then, other days, I think I don't fancy it at all.
Basically... I think moving abroad would be good for my professional and personal well-being. Eventually, I'd like to leave the Bundesliga.
Everyone knows how much I love it at Dortmund but I also want to make sure I'm part of a strong team with powerful players.
I'm being completely honest. If you sit on the bench and the others win, then you will not really feel like part of the winning team.
