More quotes by Alex Ferguson
Everyone remembers Stuart Pearce as a determined, aggressive player, who played with great heart and enthusiasm that gave him a great career in the game.
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
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
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
We are very focused this time and our preparation has been better. We maybe made one or two mistakes last time, but not this time.
Alex Ferguson
The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
Alex Ferguson
You are responsible to each other because when you win a game of football, you only need eight players to perform well.

I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don't fly. They're the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over - so it's teamwork.
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
The work of a team should always embrace a great player, but the great player must always work.
Alex Ferguson
Cole should be scoring from those distances, but I'm not going to single him out.
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
They had Jan Venegoor of...whatever you call him.
Alex Ferguson
But there is always that unpredictability about a derby match and that's what it was today.
Alex Ferguson
I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb.
Alex Ferguson
All they can talk about is Manchester United.
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
Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.
