As long as there are games to play its not over
Alex Ferguson
I don't like losing but I've mellowed. I maybe have a short fuse but it goes away quicker now.
Alex Ferguson
The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit.
Alex Ferguson
Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.
Alex Ferguson
He's such a great threat because of his power and pace. (on Cristiano Ronaldo)
Alex Ferguson
In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.
Alex Ferguson
The credit to them, the better team won and there's nothing we can do about that now.
Alex Ferguson
I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cockier spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.
Alex Ferguson
If you were in a game of football always think you need maybe eight to win the game. Three can on an off day or semi off day but you always hard. And the players recognize that and they'll do that extra to make sure they get winning. The essence of the team is to understand and trust each other and to trust me.
Alex Ferguson
Everest in his slippers. That's what he was like.
Alex Ferguson
If ever there was one player, anywhere in the world, that was made for Manchester United, it was Cantona. He swaggered in, stuck his chest out, raised his head and surveyed everything as though he was asking: 'I'm Cantona. How big are you? Are you big enough for me?'
Alex Ferguson
Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players. Lionel Messi without question fits into that category.
Alex Ferguson
The culmination of three trophies was the pinnacle of my career and it has been rewarded with a knighthood.
Alex Ferguson
We once went 13 games without winning. There's always pressure here. Winning is always important here. How do you handle yourself and compose yourself is important. (on Manchester United)
Alex Ferguson
As with every young player these days, Ronaldo is 18.
Alex Ferguson
Once you shake hands with the devil, you have to accept they are in control.
Alex Ferguson
I'm no f****** talking to you. He's a f****** great player. Yous are f******* idiots.
Alex Ferguson
The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
Alex Ferguson
He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous.
Alex Ferguson
I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He's got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn't a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable.
