I didn't have anything against Manchester United or any other team, and my dream was always to play in the Premier League one day, but my heart told me the best thing would be to stay at Lille.

It is always special to play Manchester United.

You realise you have to be physically strong when you come to the Premier League because it is a very intensive league.

I focus just on the important issues, and I know I can make a lot more progress.

Things went so quickly from being a sub in Lille to scoring in the World Cup to signing for Liverpool, but I always had good advice from my parents and my religion to help keep me grounded.
