Tim Howard, "I am aware that right now is the time for me to do the business - and that is what I plan to do. I am certainly a much better goalkeeper than when I came to the club but I feel my best days are ahead of me.
"What I would really love is to play for this club for the rest of my career and cement myself the way that Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary and Phil Neville have.
"Peter Schmeichel did some amazing things here. He is a legend and every club in every sport will have people who go down in history as being incredible. But I try to live up to my own standards. I don't buy it when people label me as the greatest - just as I don't when people label me a flop.
"You are always going to have dips and blips in form. It is how you manage the dips, how to minimise them and get back on the upswing. I am pretty strong-minded and for me the biggest disappointment about making mistakes is that I haven't done my job to the best of my ability.
"Things do get magnified and embellished but that is part of football and doesn't just affect goalkeepers. Outfield players make mistakes and get caned as well.
"When I came to England I was more of an athlete wearing goalkeeping gloves. But in my time here, because of the specific training we do and learning things like positioning, I have become more of an athlete, I feel I have become a goalkeeper."
