"I am my own man.
"I will never take free kicks like Beckham or dribble in the style of Figo but if I am allowed to do things my own way I hope to be just as successful as both of them.
"I try not to think about stepping into their shoes when I play for either United or Portugal.
"They are both world-class players and as far as I can see Beckham is still a hero in Manchester and Figo will always be a legend in Portugal."
