More quotes by 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
I've got a temper if I need it. Nothing wrong with losing your temper, if it's for the right reasons.
Alex Ferguson
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.

Alex Ferguson
I think that fear does come into it in some respect in the sense of when I lost my temper I didn't hide behind a bush on it in respect to the times that I did lose my temper. But you know the quality that I had when I lost my temper, I never, ever brought it back again.
Alex Ferguson
I bet him he wouldn't get 15 league goals and I'm going to have to change my bet with him. If he gets to 15 I can change it and I am allowed to do that because I'm the manager. I'm going to make it 150 now!
Alex Ferguson
Go make your mistakes in the first team. You'll learn more in a month in the first team than you will in two years in the reserves.
Alex Ferguson
They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages! I've got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages!
Alex Ferguson
I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could, I would have carried on playing.
Alex Ferguson
The work of a team should always embrace a great player, but the great player must always work.
Alex Ferguson
Manchester United might not win Premier League every year, but we'd always be up there competing for it every year.
Alex Ferguson
There has been a lot of expectation on Manchester City and with the spending they have done they have to win something. Sometimes you have a noisy neighbor and have to live with it.
Alex Ferguson
It's a conflict of parallels.
Alex Ferguson
I do believe in fate.
Alex Ferguson
There are members of the London press who seek to antagonise me, deliberately.

Pippo Inzaghi was born in an offside position.
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.
