Speaking to Manchester United’s official website about his ability to inspire his side, he said:

I think it’s something natural in me. I don’t do anything like saying ‘I want to be a leader or I want to do things in a different way to someone’, it’s the natural way I have. It’s something that’s in my game. Sometimes you have to improve also on this because you need leadership from different players in different modes.

For me the point is helping everyone with my voice when I can and also with my energy and everything I do in the game to help the team. The most important thing for me is helping my team-mates in any way I can, if it’s with my voice then it’s with my voice, if it’s with my energy then it’s with my energy.
