00:00And back in Manchester now, do you have a favourite place to go when you come back to Manchester in the summertime, like a restaurant or an area?
00:07Not specifically, I have different places, so that's not it.
00:11You know, that was a long time ago, Manchester's changed, there's a lot of buildings, and yeah, it's getting better.
00:22Raymond, pleasure to meet you.
00:25Raymond, how did it feel to be back out there with the Manchester United badge on your chest with the fans in the crowd today?
00:30It felt fantastic, it was really good. It felt a little bit like the old times, of course, the stadium was not sold out,
00:36but you know why you are here, why you are doing this, and it's for the Manchester United Foundation, so that felt really great.
00:46It must be crazy, you must turn up here into these events and everyone's taking it easy, and always someone will take it seriously.
00:52Who was taking it too seriously today?
00:54I don't think that anybody was taking it too seriously, but you know the winning mentality from all the players are still there,
01:03and that's exactly what you see.
01:05You never lose that kind of, because we saw there was a few things where Nicky Bott wins the ball, Scholes has a goal...
01:10Yeah, correct. You can see in the last minute, Paul Scholes slides to the ball as well, had a tackle, so it's still there.
01:18It's just, you know, the character of the players don't change.
01:21How is it playing? Do you feel the weight of the shirt, the weight of the pressure, the stadium and stuff when you're playing for Manchester United?
01:28I don't feel the pressure, I feel the pleasure. It's just great to play for Man United.
01:36Would you have any tips for someone like Andre Onana in dealing with that pressure?
01:40He can come to me, I will speak to him.
01:45A little bit of private coaching, you're not going to give it away for free!
01:48No problem, I know him a little bit because he played in Holland and I spoke with him also, but no, Andre is okay.
01:55Raymond, we relived the 1999 season with the documentary and stuff, how was it watching all that back?
02:00All the memories are coming back, and you know if you win something and it's something special, like what happened in 1999, then it feels great.
02:11Which of these players that maybe didn't play in 1999 do you think could have played for that team?
02:15The likes of Wayne Rooney were out there today, is there anyone that you wish you could have played with?
02:19Rooney is one of them of course, but I think I was lucky at a certain time that I was playing with great players.
