At United, we like to have wingers who give the team width and pace.

I was lucky enough to play at Old Trafford, and we always talked about the atmosphere on a Tuesday night, the special atmosphere you create, and the crowd is rocking when you go out for a warm-up.

As a player, I loved being tackled, whether it was in training or in a game. I took a full-blooded challenge as an invitation to do exactly the same thing to an opponent. I would wait for my opportunity and nine times out of 10, I would get him back.

A cup final is all about seizing the moment. You cannot put right a mistake or a missed opportunity the following week.

As a club, there was never any middle ground with Newcastle. They were as high as the sky or in a pit of despair.
