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

I don't believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of coaches. It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball.

Before the game there was all this stuff about anti-racism and anti-bullying. It would be a good idea to start wearing wristbands for anti-diving.

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'm not at Manchester United to keep everyone happy.

He's been like a fresh of breath air.
