'In this club it makes me feel that I did nothing,' he said. 'Especially because you have two legends – many of them, but two [Busby and Ferguson] are legends in terms of titles and trophies.  
'I feel that I am nobody. I always have to prove. I just feel that what I did in this club is not enough to be deserve to be here (pointing to wall with pictures of Ferguson and Busby). That's why I am there (pointing to a picture of himself).'
