More quotes by Alex Ferguson
As long as there are games to play its not over
Alex Ferguson
I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cockier spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.
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
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
We once went 13 games without winning. There's always pressure here. Winning is always important here. How do you handle yourself and compose yourself is important. (on Manchester United)
Alex Ferguson
You can't do anything about them.
Alex Ferguson
Look at me – it's taken 10 years off me today. It's these tablets, they're great!
Alex Ferguson
Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.
Alex Ferguson
I'm privileged to have followed Sir Matt because all you have to do is to try and maintain the standards that he set so many years ago.
Alex Ferguson
The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
Alex Ferguson
The philosophy of a lot of European teams, even in home matches, is not to give a goal away.
Alex Ferguson
Distinguish between power and control, delegate, be decisive - and always remember people's first names.
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
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
As with every young player these days, Ronaldo is 18.
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 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.
Alex Ferguson
That lad must have been born offside.
Alex Ferguson
Jose [Mourinho] was one of those guys on a surfboard who can stay longer on the wave than anyone else.
Alex Ferguson
Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.
Alex Ferguson
