You may find another Beckham or Ronaldo, but never ever will you find another Sir Alex Ferguson.
I’m so proud the fans still sing my name, but I fear tomorrow they will stop. I fear it because I love it. And everything you love, you fear you will lose.
A good goal is one that is important and beautiful.
You need a particular talent only to want to please. I don’t have this talent.
Certainly take the advice of others but always, always be yourself.
When I think football, I think Manchester United. I still support United and always will. I will die with them in my heart.
I apologize for nothing.
I play with passion and fire. I have to accept that sometimes this fire does harm.
When I was banned for nine months I had an opportunity to focus on something else and I needed to focus on something else. It’s who I am. I admire Miles Davis and Chet Baker a lot and I like this instrument, so I tried and I learned and practised for two months. But I stopped after that.
Those who hate or disrespect Sir Alex Ferguson, its only because he snatched away their dreams of winning.
When you are a rich man you are proud to own a Rolls Royce and when you are a poor man you are proud to own a Renault.
The ball is like a woman, she loves to be caressed.
I feel close to the rebelliousness of the youth here. Perhaps time will separate us, but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music.
I have a car but it’s not important.
After his first training session in heaven, George Best, from the favourite right wing, turned the head of God who was filling in at left back. I would love him to save me a place in his team, George Best that is, not God.
I stopped playing football because I’d done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.
I am very mistrustful of people who are constantly over intellectualising things. It kills passion. You have to allow yourself to lose control from time to time.
When people are talking about you, it means that you exist.
I don’t play against a particular team. I play against the idea of losing.
I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.
