I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He's got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn't a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable.

It's great news. The reality of negotiations today is that they take time. But these have always been conducted in a good spirit and we are very pleased with the outcome. We can now look forward to the future.

We are very focused this time and our preparation has been better. We maybe made one or two mistakes last time, but not this time.

We have to try to beat Everyone.

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.

I don't like losing but I've mellowed. I maybe have a short fuse but it goes away quicker now.

I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.
