You can't applaud a referee.

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)

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.

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.

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.

Myths grow all the time. If I was to listen to the number of times I've thrown teacups then we've gone through some crockery in this place. It's completely exaggerated, but I don't like people arguing back with me.

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.

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.

If I have my health I can carry on. There will be a point when I do quit but I have absolutely no idea when that is.

You are not going to be happy if you lose to a goal in the last minute. It is difficult to take and difficult to get out of your mind.

They (the press) have a hatred of Manchester United.
Alex Ferguson
Image
He's fiery, he's competitive, ... I think it was an unfair booking, and Wayne reacts like this against injustice.

I do believe in fate.

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.
