“After beating Deportivo we were all up for it. But a lot of us didn't perform. They are the games I really look forward to, yet I didn't perform and I don't know why.
"Probably the main reason I'm getting criticised is that this season, and maybe last, my performances have been better away from home. I think the thing Roy Keane picked up on is that the real fans are the ones who follow us away. I never get stick off the fans who go to games week in, week out.
"Perhaps my biggest critics are the Old Trafford season ticket-holders, because maybe I have not been producing my best form at home. But I am quite happy that I am producing my best form away ? and that is a lot harder to do. The fans pay their money and expect something special every time I touch the ball. But that isn't always possible. An individual player turns a game maybe once or twice in a season.”
