I just hope he doesn't frighten the players 'cos they're frigtened enough right now.

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

I was a big fan of Maradona growing up and of the current crop Ronaldo is good but Messi is the best I’ve ever seen. I don’t dish out praise lightly but Messi deserves it. I look for weaknesses in his game and I can’t find them.

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.

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?

People say 'go with the flow' but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish.

The type of game I play, I'm going to pick injuries and suspensions, unfortunately.
