"I have heard about this (Barcode speculation). My manager has heard nothing concrete on the Newcastle issue.
"I never see myself as just a squad member at United. I see myself as a first-teamer.
"You have to see yourself that way. And a club like United needs lots of players that see themselves that way, even if some of the team are not always in the first 11.
"The competition is huge and you give absolutely everything just to stay in the first team.
"You have to work really, really hard and be really, really patient. There are times you sit on the bench and ask yourself: `What's happening to my life?' You have to realise that it is very difficult.
"You have to work harder than you can ever imagine working in football.
"I would prefer to play centre midfield.
"But every single game I play is a highlight. Every time I pull on a United shirt, I have to check myself. It's me, Quinton, playing for Man United!"
And on Carlos, Fergie and Rooney:
"Fergie tells us you've always got to be there if a team-mate is in trouble. That's what he tells us to do.
"I have a special relationship with Carlos Queiroz. He is very good to me. But then, he is good with all the players.
"He speaks many languages, you know, besides Portuguese and English, he speaks French and Italian.
"He relates to all the players but Carlos is more of a manager than a coach.
"It is like we have two managers. We've got Mike Phelan for the coaching; Carlos is like the Gaffer.
"He is one of my mates at the club.
"The old group used to go out together quite a lot but they are all settled with families now, so it's a bit different.
"Most of the married guys go home straight after training but I do hang around with [Cristiano] Ronaldo, Wayne, Tim Howard and also 'Kleb' [Kleberson].
"Wayne is a baby. He's still a kid. He has this reputation for swearing and all that but, honestly, off the pitch, he's just like a little baby.
"On the pitch, he is different, but that is because he is ultra-competitive like most of us.
"He is competitive in all games, even PlayStation.
"Ronnie's more into what he looks like - he's a fashion guy. But he's also a great guy to be with.
"I think Tim's a great goalkeeper. My wife also spends quite a bit of time with his wife Laura. Kleb's also a good guy.
"I hope he stays at the club because he is a very good player. He struggled a bit to acclimatise, being Brazilian he is used to great weather.
"He is family-oriented and they are used to doing a lot of things outdoors together. But he's getting used to it in England, and he is fit again after his injury, so I hope he stays.
"I like being the underdog. But players who have been at the club longer than me were used to success and they might find it difficult.
"I think it's great for competition. It makes it more exciting for the fans, so it is good for football."
