More quotes by Alex Ferguson
The work of a team should always embrace a great player, but the great player must always work.
Alex Ferguson
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
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
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.
Alex Ferguson
Distinguish between power and control, delegate, be decisive - and always remember people's first names.
Alex Ferguson
I've never played for a draw in my life.
Alex Ferguson
Liverpool can play for only five minutes and win the game, that is the way they are. They pump the ball into the box and with good set-piece delivery they keep you under pressure.
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
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
Promise is one thing. Fulfilling that promise is quite another.
Alex Ferguson
To not apologize for the behavior of the players to another manager is unthinkable. It's a disgrace, but I don't expect Wenger to ever apologize...he's that type of person.
Alex Ferguson
Gianfranco Zola once sent Gary Pallister the wrong way to such an extent that he needed a ticket to get back in.
Alex Ferguson
Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.
Alex Ferguson
Pippo Inzaghi was born in an offside position.
Alex Ferguson
It's great news. The reality of negotiations today is that they take time. But these have always been conducted in a good spirit and we are very pleased with the outcome. We can now look forward to the future.
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
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
If ever there was one player, anywhere in the world, that was made for Manchester United, it was Cantona. He swaggered in, stuck his chest out, raised his head and surveyed everything as though he was asking: 'I'm Cantona. How big are you? Are you big enough for me?'
Alex Ferguson
That lad must have been born offside.
Alex Ferguson
David impresses by his example on the field. He never stops running, he plays with supreme confidence, he always tries his hardest and he scores important goals. (on David Beckham)
