People say I'm hard, I'm Mr Angry. I'm this, I'm that. I just want to win matches. There's no point going out there and being Mr Nice Guy. We get 55,000 at Old Trafford and I don't think they want fellas going out there and thinking: Ah, if we lose, so what?

I love it when the team scores... the lads are always giving me stick because of it, but I'm just so happy I can't help it.

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

I hate losing in training, I'm always arguing, having a go at everybody. I take my job very seriously.'

Aggression is what I do. I go to war. You don't contest football matches in a reasonable state of mind.

Some people come to Old Trafford and can't spell football, let alone understand it. They have a few drinks and a prawn sandwich but don't realise what's happening on the pitch

It was Tottenham at home. I thought: 'Please don't go on about Tottenham, we all know what Tottenham are about. They are nice and tidy but we'll f****** do them.' Alex came in and said: 'Lads, it's only Tottenham.' And that was it! Brilliant!
