More quotes by Alex Ferguson
But there is always that unpredictability about a derby match and that's what it was today.
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
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
Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.
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
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
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 realized I was good at developing young people. Eventually I started to believe in young people. I think when you give a young person an opportunity, he always believes who gave him his first chance. You create a loyalty that lasts a lifetime.
Alex Ferguson
The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
Alex Ferguson
Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.
Alex Ferguson
When he's at the top of his game, there's not a team in the world that can handle Giggs' speed and penetration
Alex Ferguson
If Chelsea drop points, the cat's out in the open. And you know what cats are like - sometimes they don't come home.
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
Never give in or give up easily on a cause.
Alex Ferguson
They had Jan Venegoor of...whatever you call him.
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
As with every young player these days, Ronaldo is 18.
Alex Ferguson
Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way.
Alex Ferguson
He's a normal, likable, straightforward boy. (on David Beckham)
Alex Ferguson
He's a novice - he should keep his opinions to Japanese football
