It was always a wish for me to work in the Premier League. To work as a manager for Manchester United, the biggest club in the world, makes me very proud. I have managed in games at Old Trafford before and know what an incredible arena Old Trafford is and how passionate and knowledgeable the fans are. This club has big ambitions; I too have big ambitions. Together I'm sure we will make history.

If certain players do not carry out their tasks properly on the pitch then their colleagues will suffer.

I am who I am: confident, arrogant, dominant, honest, hard-working and innovative.

Louis van Gaal has nothing more to learn.

I've signed a contract with the Dutch national team until 2006. So I can win the World Cup not once but twice.

When I buy, I buy players for the long term, not the short term because I do respect the club a lot and also the other clubs.

I'm not the kind of coach who just goes out and buys players for the sake of it. I'm a coach who wants to - and can - improve players.
