As with every young player these days, Ronaldo is 18.

Funnily enough we have never had one enquiry for Paul Scholes. You know why? Because they all know he will never leave. in my time he would be in the top six or seven (best United players ever) without a doubt. His contribution and quality have been great, even without the fantastic goals he has scored. [ . . . ] He has that wonderful velvet touch on the ball. When he gets it, it goes stone dead. It is wonderful to see that amidst all the mayhem that can happen in a football match.

He could start a row in an empty house.

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.

When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate, I check under the sauce to make sure.

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.
