Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.

You start with what you believe in. I believe in building a football club rather than building a football team.
Alex Ferguson
Image
I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.

The best have the courage and I say this all the time. The courage to take the ball all the time, the courage to make sure that they are not going to be intimidated by their opponents, and the courage to express themselves at all times and I think that all the great players have got that.

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.

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
Image
I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb.
Alex Ferguson

The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
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.

My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f*****g perch. And you can print that.

That lad must have been born offside.

Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.
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.

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.

I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France.

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.
