00:00Jürgen, you've been under a lot of pressure too,
00:02and you were around there at the time when you two were barking,
00:05how do you overcome that pressure as a Manchester United goalkeeper?
00:10Because obviously now, Andre O'Nana, he's coming and he's facing a lot of pressure,
00:15it's his first season, this is the second season, how do you overcome that?
00:19O'Nana has come back a little bit from a difficult start and now he's doing a lot better,
00:25but there's no magic formula to overcome that pressure,
00:32that is the job, the job is to handle that pressure,
00:36so if you can't do it or if you won't do it, the job is not for you.
00:44Yeah, I think we need to play to his attributes, which is passing with his feet,
00:50if we are successful in doing that he will be one of the best goalkeepers, I'm sure.
01:05No, I don't want to play again, sorry.
01:11How does it feel to be back out there for Manchester United,
01:13wearing the shirt with the fans out there as well, feeling good?
01:16Yeah, it makes me very proud, I was very proud of being a part of Manchester United
01:21when I was here, it was the greatest achievement of my life and coming back again is just a
01:27privilege and Old Trafford is the best stadium for me, I'm a lifelong United supporter,
01:33so being back and being allowed for another dance in the Theatre of Dreams is just amazing.
01:39One last dance, you mentioned being a fan of the club,
01:42how did that feel then, when you were playing professionally for United and
01:46the weight of the shirt, how do you balance that feeling of being a fan and also, this is my job?
01:52It's different, I'm sure you can have Manchester United fans working in the Manchester City
02:01department, administration or something like that, so the job is just a job, you've got to deal with
02:08it.
