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.
Manchester United might not win Premier League every year, but we’d always be up there competing for it every year.
The work of a team should always embrace a great player, but the great player must always work.
You start with what you believe in. I believe in building a football club rather than building a football team.
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.

Cole should be scoring from those distances, but I’m not going to single him out.
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.
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.
Look at me – it’s taken 10 years off me today. It’s these tablets, they’re great!
I don’t like losing but I’ve mellowed. I maybe have a short fuse but it goes away quicker now.
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.
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.
The lads really ran their socks into the ground.
As with every young player these days, Ronaldo is 18.
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.
As long as there are games to play, it’s not over.
All they can talk about is Manchester United.
