Cole should be scoring from those distances, but I'm not going to single him out.

Myths grow all the time. If I was to listen to the number of times I've thrown teacups then we've gone through some crockery in this place. It's completely exaggerated, but I don't like people arguing back with me.

Promise is one thing. Fulfilling that promise is quite another.

Everywhere I go the coaches all tell me that Scholsey is the player they admire. But if they think they'll get him they're wasting their time! Paul is a Manc lad pure and simple. He loves the club and there's no chance of him leaving here. If ever he decided to go there would be a stampede, but he won't be going, he's here for life.

In any normal season, most of the teams below Chelsea would think they are doing quite well.

I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could, I would have carried on playing.

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.

Wayne is truly blessed. He doesn't just have ability, he has a fire inside him.

The philosophy of a lot of European teams, even in home matches, is not to give a goal away.

Evolution happens. There's no football team in the world that has stayed together for time ever more.

I do like to try and see myself in football players. Everybody is different and express themselves in different ways. There are different kinds of talents of course and there are many who I would never have had the talent that they have when I was a player. But I still had that determination to be successful and try my best.

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.

He's fiery, he's competitive, ... I think it was an unfair booking, and Wayne reacts like this against injustice.

We got anxious at the end of the weekend in our urgency to try to score the winning goal. Ended up playing far too many long balls forward. That style of play doesn't suit Manchester United. We must continue to play football and enjoy the game. If we do that, eventually things will come right for us.

If he was an inch taller he'd be the best center half in Britain. His father is 6 ft 2 in - I'd check the milkman.

I think Rafael Benítez was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous.

He is improving all the time. He is only 21 and who knows what he is capable of. (on Cristiano Ronaldo)
