When the manager [Sir Alex Ferguson] decides to rest me, it's his decision at the end of the day ... There will be games, I'm sure, this season at home, when I'll have the chance to be rested. That's down to the manager. I want to play. But if he rests me, he rests me. There's nothing you can do.

It was a glimpse of a future few want to imagine. A future without the team’s talisman. When the World Cup comes around, England without Wayne Rooney doesn’t bear thinking about, so crucial is the striker in every way.

When Ronaldo was on the pitch, everyone looked to him, expecting him to change the game when his team most needed it.

I don’t consider I was ever in Ronaldo’s shadow but, no, I’m not happy he left the club and I don’t think any of us are. I’d prefer him to still be in the team if I’m being honest. He’s a brilliant player, irreplaceable, the best player in the world – so no one’s happy he left

This is similar to my first year with England ... After those Euros I got used in different positions. It is not too different now but the manager is allowing us to go forward. If Steven is right up the pitch I can fill in for him and it is the same the other way round. It is good to have that rotation.

It's clear for everyone ... He scores goals. I've watched his first few games for Madrid and he seems to have improved again.

I'm not really too bothered if they're there or notm ... We have to concentrate on ourselves. It would be nice to see Portugal not there because the last two tournaments they've knocked us out. When we didn't qualify for Euro 2008, we [United's England players] got a lot of stick [from Ronaldo].
