More quotes by Alex Ferguson
They had Jan Venegoor of...whatever you call him.
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.
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
Distinguish between power and control, delegate, be decisive - and always remember people's first names.
Alex Ferguson
I always said to the directors that the minute a player becomes more powerful than the manager of Manchester United, it's not Manchester United. You have lost control of the whole club. So I always made sure that I was in control. They always knew who the manager was.
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
I do believe in fate.
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
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)
Alex Ferguson
Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way. When you win you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.
Alex Ferguson
He is improving all the time. He is only 21 and who knows what he is capable of. (on Cristiano Ronaldo)
Alex Ferguson
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
If we can play like that every week well get some level of consistency.
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
I bet him he wouldn't get 15 league goals and I'm going to have to change my bet with him. If he gets to 15 I can change it and I am allowed to do that because I'm the manager. I'm going to make it 150 now!
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
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
Football, bloody hell!
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
There are members of the London press who seek to antagonise me, deliberately.
Alex Ferguson
