POOR DAVID

"The only trophy I’ve lifted as a captain was when I was a 15-year-old kid playing for Manchester United’s youth team. We won a competition in Ireland called the Milk Cup. I can’t remember the name of the team we beat in the final but I think Ben Thornley scored the winner. Scholesy, Gary Neville and Nicky Butt were also playing.

"That was 14 years ago and it would be nice to lift another trophy on July 4. I’ve achieved a great deal and have been lucky to win the European Cup, the Premier League and the FA Cup.

"I was also voted runner-up in the World Player of the Year but to win something with my country would top it all off. Winning the Treble with United is probably the highlight of my career and it would be hard to top that. But winning the European Championship with England would be an amazing achievement."

"I never want to have any regrets in my career and so far I don’t have any. But if I was to finish playing without winning a trophy with England there would be a real feeling of something missing."
