All they can talk about is Manchester United.
believe parent would-be
If my parents were still alive, they would be very proud. They gave me a good start in life, the values that have driven me, and the confidence to believe in myself.
cristiano-ronaldo scotland improving
He is improving all the time. He is only 21 and who knows what he is capable of. (on Cristiano Ronaldo)
losing fuse
I don't like losing but I've mellowed. I maybe have a short fuse but it goes away quicker now.
football conflict parallels
It's a conflict of parallels.
thinking work-out looks
Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way.
football horse jobs
Football management is such a pressurized thing - horse racing is a release. I'm also learning to play the piano - I'm quite determined - it's another release from the pressure of my job.
football player thinking
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.
player thinking squad
Keeping players happy is not easy and I think anyone with a big squad will tell you that.
team games world
When he's at the top of his game, there's not a team in the world that can handle Giggs' speed and penetration
soccer country football
You have to put all the criticism of this club down to jealousy. United have produced more players who have played for their country, more world-class players and more players who have won European Footballer of the Year than any other team in this country, so we must be doing something right.
reality looks news
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.
player thinking servant
Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea, but I didn't think of him as an elite international footballer. And I am one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player.
football team winning
If you were in a game of football always think you need maybe eight to win the game. Three can on an off day or semi off day but you always hard. And the players recognize that and they'll do that extra to make sure they get winning. The essence of the team is to understand and trust each other and to trust me.
