Since I came to Manchester United, we had ups and downs but I always felt an important player under any manager, and I feel important now. But we didn’t have any conversations.“It is difficult to control everything that goes out and your friends and family are ringing to know what is going on but I always told them the same thing ”“ ”˜Listen, I am the one that knows what is going on, and I know that nothing is going on.”The Spain International further insisted that he had a healthy relationship with Mourinho, whose United team are back in action on Thursday against Fenerbahce in the Europa League.He said, “When the manager came in, I was always thinking the same as I always have ”“ I am going to give my best, I believe in myself and I think this can work out.“It is a professional relationship (I have with Mourinho).
