There are people out there who hate me and who say I'm arrogant, vain, and whatever. That's all part of my success. I am made to be the best.

Many people look at me and think they know me but they don't at all. This is the real me. I am a humble person, a feeling person. A person who cares about others, who wants to help others.

I am not the humblest person in the world. I admit that.

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.

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.
