    "It's a hard one because obviously when I came, I came from my brother's wedding and I was expecting to be back on a plane back to the UK shortly after. But like Jesse (Red Bulls head coach Jesse Marsch) said, he caught me in the airport and asked me to train just to keep my fitness up and it kind of all kind of just fell into place and I think as much as I wanted to be there, I thought the feeling felt mutual between me and the teammates and the coaching staff and it felt like I was just in a family and that's kind of what it felt like when I was like 19 and I first started breaking through at Manchester City. So I'm very welcome to be here and I'm very humbled at the same time and hopefully I can do exactly what you guys expect me to do and help the Red Bulls win stuff in the MLS (Major League Soccer)."

    "I don't think we're too competitive, and as Shaun said we want the best for each other. And besides he's the older brother, you know, for a number of years he was better than me at everything, and this is why I'm happy he's here. Now it's good to see who can better now for the team! I'm only joking. No, we're not too competitive, we get on with it and try to help the team."
