He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous.
Alex Ferguson

You have to put all the criticism of this club down to jealousy. United have produced more players who have played for their country, more world-class players and more players who have won European Footballer of the Year than any other team in this country, so we must be doing something right.

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

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

I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don't fly. They're the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over - so it's teamwork.
Alex Ferguson

They had Jan Venegoor of...whatever you call him.
Alex Ferguson
Image
The credit to them, the better team won and there's nothing we can do about that now.

When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate, I check under the sauce to make sure.
Alex Ferguson
Image
Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.
Alex Ferguson
Image
I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could, I would have carried on playing.
Alex Ferguson
Image
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
Image
They (the press) have a hatred of Manchester United.
Alex Ferguson
Image
Everyone remembers Stuart Pearce as a determined, aggressive player, who played with great heart and enthusiasm that gave him a great career in the game.
Alex Ferguson
Image
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.
