More quotes by Alex Ferguson
He could start a row in an empty house.
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
We got anxious at the end of the weekend in our urgency to try to score the winning goal. Ended up playing far too many long balls forward. That style of play doesn't suit Manchester United. We must continue to play football and enjoy the game. If we do that, eventually things will come right for us.
Alex Ferguson
The work of a team should always embrace a great player, but the great player must always work.
Alex Ferguson

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
Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.
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
Once you shake hands with the devil, you have to accept they are in control.
Alex Ferguson
There has been a lot of expectation on Manchester City and with the spending they have done they have to win something. Sometimes you have a noisy neighbor and have to live with it.
Alex Ferguson
When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate, I check under the sauce to make sure.
Alex Ferguson
I'm a Pele fan from way back when I was a kid, and then there was always this thing later about Pele and Maradona. I was young and impressionable as a kid but it was always Pele for me.
Alex Ferguson
In any normal season, most of the teams below Chelsea would think they are doing quite well.
Alex Ferguson
Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way.
Alex Ferguson
At the last minute, from what I can gather, either Emmanuel Adebayor or his agent phoned us after they had agreed a deal with City and then did the same with Chelsea. He was desperate to get to either Chelsea or 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.
