More quotes by Alex Ferguson
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.

I think Rafael BenÃtez 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.
Alex Ferguson
I've never played for a draw in my life.

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.
Alex Ferguson
Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.
Alex Ferguson
The philosophy of a lot of European teams, even in home matches, is not to give a goal away.
Alex Ferguson
You are not going to be happy if you lose to a goal in the last minute. It is difficult to take and difficult to get out of your mind.
Alex Ferguson
It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.
Alex Ferguson
The best have the courage and I say this all the time. The courage to take the ball all the time, the courage to make sure that they are not going to be intimidated by their opponents, and the courage to express themselves at all times and I think that all the great players have got that.
Alex Ferguson
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.
Alex Ferguson
I'm privileged to have followed Sir Matt because all you have to do is to try and maintain the standards that he set so many years ago.
Alex Ferguson
I always say prepare to be a coach to anybody who wants to be a coach. At 24 years of age when I left engineering to become full time in football, I made sure that I was never going back to engineering.
Alex Ferguson
The culmination of three trophies was the pinnacle of my career and it has been rewarded with a knighthood.
Alex Ferguson
Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea, but I didn't think of him as an elite international footballer. And I am one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player.
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.

When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate, I check under the sauce to make sure.

Jose [Mourinho] was one of those guys on a surfboard who can stay longer on the wave than anyone else.
Alex Ferguson
I have nothing but praise for the boy. He is easily the best player in the world. His contribution as a goal threat is unbelievable. His stats are incredible. Strikes at goal, attempts on goal, raids into the penalty box, headers. It is all there. Absolutely astounding.
Alex Ferguson
Well he's only 20. Without question, he's the best youngest player I've seen in my time... If he keeps developing and matures ? goodness knows what he will become. At the moment he's a breathe of fresh air. (on Wayne Rooney)
Alex Ferguson
Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way. When you win you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.
