I hope I can retire at Atletico Madrid.
I have always had sympathy for Atletico Madrid because, among other things, I have friends there, and my father always liked Atletico.
When Atletico tried to buy me back, I did everything I could to make it possible. I had offers from clubs in France and Italy, but I would not have left Chelsea for any other side - only for Atletico Madrid.
I hope to stay many years in Manchester United and make history in this club. When I was at Porto and Atletico Madrid, I always wanted to improve to achieve my dream of playing in a team like this.
Ajax have a set model, a defined youth programme - Barcelona have one too, and Juventus. And Atletico Madrid do too. Real Madrid don't - because they alternate developing their own players with signing talent.
I've always said that I'm very happy at Real Madrid and I hope that, if God wishes, I can retire at this club.
I am not saying that I am at the same level as Messi or Ronaldo. They are the best two players in the world, but I am very proud that I managed to finish above them in the goalscoring charts, especially as I was playing for Atletico Madrid, not Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Diego Simeone, the coach from Atletico Madrid, was a very strong player as a midfielder.
It was difficult at Atletico Madrid. It was my first experience in Europe when I went there and La Liga was hard.
I just do not see myself playing for Madrid. They do not attract me, especially because of my past with Atletico.
Winning the Europa League with Atletico Madrid and then reaching a semi-final of the World Cup is great.
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are our rivals in domestic competitions, and they'll both fight to the end to win the League.
If I return to Spain someday, Atletico Madrid would be one of my top choices without doubt. It is a club that I have a lot of affection for.
It's not enough to just have talent at Atletico Madrid. At other clubs it is, but we can't sign superstars and have to look for players with a good work ethic.
I have scored many goals with my head, ever since my time with River Plate in Argentina and then after at Porto and Atletico Madrid.
I think the difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona against the rest of the league is always getting bigger. It's going to be a league of two and I'm not sure if Atletico Madrid are really going to be there, what they've done is amazing - reaching the Champions League final twice and winning the league - but I think they're starting to fall behind. For Zizou, winning La Liga is the real challenge.
My plan is to retire at Real Madrid.
