More quotes by Alex Ferguson
He's such a great threat because of his power and pace. (on Cristiano Ronaldo)
Alex Ferguson
I've got a temper if I need it. Nothing wrong with losing your temper, if it's for the right reasons.
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 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
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

Alex Ferguson
Jose [Mourinho] was one of those guys on a surfboard who can stay longer on the wave than anyone else.
Alex Ferguson
I was doing all the coaching schools so that I'd be able to stay in the game, and I gave myself a chance by doing that. I was only an average player, could score a goal or two, that sort of thing, but I wasn't a Bobby Charlton or a Messi, or Ronaldo. There are very, very few really great players who have become great coaches.
Alex Ferguson
The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit.
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
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's a conflict of parallels.
Alex Ferguson
The credit to them, the better team won and there's nothing we can do about that now.
Alex Ferguson
The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
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
I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.
Alex Ferguson
That lad must have been born offside.
Alex Ferguson
The culmination of three trophies was the pinnacle of my career and it has been rewarded with a knighthood.

I'm-A-God-Look-At-Me.
