We are very focused this time and our preparation has been better. We maybe made one or two mistakes last time, but not this time.

More quotes by Alex Ferguson
Her Majesty said she hoped I would have time for my horses - I own two and have shares in four.
Alex Ferguson
If I have my health I can carry on. There will be a point when I do quit but I have absolutely no idea when that is.
Alex Ferguson
I was lying in bed on a Saturday morning, reading the paper, when my phone went. The caller was Rangers director, Jack Gillespie, and he offered me the manager's job at Ibrox. I was flattered but declined with thanks. John Greig was a good friend of mine and I had no intention of being involved in ousting him.
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
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
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
Once you shake hands with the devil, you have to accept they are in control.
Alex Ferguson
I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.
Alex Ferguson
I understand the intensity of the supporters. I wonder how they could turn up for work on Monday morning after we lost 5-1 to Manchester City.
Alex Ferguson
They (the press) have a hatred of Manchester United.
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
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.
Alex Ferguson
That lad must have been born offside.
Alex Ferguson
It was our worst-ever day, the worst result in my history, ever. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1.
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
Well, football is a hard game there's no denying it. It's a game that can bring out the worst in you, at times.
Alex Ferguson
I've never played for a draw in my life.
Alex Ferguson
Ronaldo could play for Millwall, QPR, Doncaster Rovers or anyone and he'd score a hat-trick. I'm not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo's got two feet, he's quick, he's good in the air and he's brave, though Messi's brave too of course. I just think Messi is a Barcelona player.
Alex Ferguson
At the last minute, from what I can gather, either Emmanuel Adebayor or his agent phoned us after they had agreed a deal with City and then did the same with Chelsea. He was desperate to get to either Chelsea or us.
Alex Ferguson
The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
Alex Ferguson
