I want to be involved as a fan, as a player, as a manager, as a technical director, as a groundsman. It doesn't matter. Whichever way the club sees me helping them out, I'll always be around.

We can't always wait on the government to sort out all issues. I think they set policies, they set the rules, but we all have a duty to help as much as we can.

I've been very lucky - I don't come from a privileged upbringing.

We've had a humble upbringing. You know, my father came through as a political refugee; my mother comes from a hard-working-farmers family. We've had humble upbringing.

As wealthy as you are, nothing, nothing, nothing guarantees you that through a breakdown of relationship, your kids won't end up on the streets. It's nothing to do with wealth: sometimes it can be down to other things, like the breakdown of relationships.

I'm someone who takes on information quite well, so there's maybe a path into management. But I see what successful managers have to go through to get to that level - it's a completely different ball game - so I think I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

I want my kids to go and see the world and understand they are privileged, but it doesn't mean they don't have the right to speak up and see what is happening.

I was desperate to leave Hamburg. The club was awesome, don't get me wrong, but I had a personal issue with one of the board members. He was desperate to get me out. The first club came calling, and it was Man City.

You are not guaranteed to be part of that story if you don't perform.

Everybody is different. Some players need a lot of rest and just be at home.

Funnily enough, I think Gary Neville is very interesting... and talks a lot of sense.

When I was a kid in my neighborhood, there was nobody that supported Belgium. It was impossible and unthinkable because there was nothing they could relate to.

Maybe from the outside, Belgium looks complicated to understand, but from the inside, actually, every country is complicated.

I've been living in England for a while, and I am still trying to figure out why we have Great Britain playing the Olympics together and England in football.

I am 100% Congolese and 100% Belgian. I am very proud of it.

Everyone in Manchester in general has a positive mindset.
