We actually spoke today and we actually both said that we don't speak to each other probably enough and exchange views, it's something that over the next six months I'd be foolish not to tap into his experience of what he's been through the last four years with the Under-21s and senior men, because he's been to European Championships, he's been to World Cups. He's been successful.

I’m in for work at 6.30am and one of the last to leave. I don’t want to go home. We have beds at the training ground and I go home sometimes and say to my wife: 'Do you know something, I didn’t want to leave work today!' It’s not a slight on my wife. It’s just a great position to be in when you love your job so much.

Well done to Sweden but it is a nonsense game, i think maybe there was carry on from the semi-final - the emotion. The two goals sparked us into life and I don't think I have seen us play better than we did after those first 20 minutes.

When Jose finishes at a club there is a pattern where he falls out with players, gets disgruntled and the team dips, i can't see him staying for too long at United - maybe two or three years seems to be his shelf life at a club - but as long as he brings success United fans won't be unhappy.

I am a Manchester United fan and next season I want them to be winning the league, that will be the demands put on him and I am sure he will have the same expectation.

I know you have to manage a certain way when you're manager of Manchester United, but if you take away that brashness you lose what Jose Mourinho is about, he likes to create this siege mentality and that's what Sir Alex (Ferguson) did for 26 years. He told us in every team meeting that the rest of the world doesn't like you, wants you to fail, and that was the basis of our motivation in a lot of our games.

Mourinho is a proven winner. United fans want a team challenging for the league title, they don't want a team finishing in seventh or fifth.

I came out with a few plaudits, and I don't really enjoy that because I am a team player. I don't shout about myself, and I've always been team-orientated, so maybe that is why I have always slipped under the radar throughout my career.

My sister is one of the best netball players England's ever produced, and she is now England manager. Almost every day, we sit round the table; we talk about what she's done in her job, how she's dealt with players. I've followed her pathway.

I do my best thinking when I'm out running. When I'm out in the hills around Manchester, that's when my head clears. That's when I think about the things I'm going to say to my players in the biggest moments.
