Your time at Manchester United has been a bit of a rollercoaster like this.
And so on that day when you get a big offer to leave Manchester United for a contract that was worth reportedly 200 million, why didn't you go?
Manchester United's captain, Bruno Fernandes, has arguably become their greatest player in the post-Ferguson era.
There isn't a single player in the Premier League who has more assists since his arrival.
He's won more Club Player of the Year awards than Ronaldo, and only five players have scored more than his 70 league goals.
So I'm at the Manchester United training ground to ask him the questions the footballing world wants to know, including...
Recently, Roy Keane criticised your mentality based on a quote he claimed you said.
How do you respond to that?

Bruno, to understand somebody, I always think you have to start with where they started and the early context that they grew up in.
And we were just talking before we started recording about Porto.
I'm on a journey to understand why you are the way that you are, because you're such an anomaly on the pitch.
And your career, when I tracked the journey of where you've come from and how you continually...
were promoted and pushed forward at a very young age, it's clear to me that your early context, your early upbringing, and whatever it was that was present at that age has shaped you in some very, very important way.
