“Regarding my health, I’m not actually in control,” he was quoted as saying.

“In the football world, and at United, I’m in control of the situation.

“It’s vital because a player cannot do it himself. A player is only part of the team.

“The manager is in control of that. He’s in control of all that destiny. Dealing with the press, the referees, the rivals. I’ve got to make decisions that are correct.

“You have to make really difficult decisions. I’m telling you, I was never afraid of that. I never looked back.”
