Bringing young players through the ranks has always been one of the manager's main priorities,
footballer full playing wants
Every footballer wants to play forever. And if you are going to keep on playing - to enjoy it to the full - you want to win games, and as a result, trophies.
alex both brought captain faith ferguson john lads players sir stress style
John's put a lot of faith in me, making me captain and like the players he's brought in, I've responded. He's got his own style but the lads are a lot more comfortable with him now. John and Sir Alex Ferguson are both old school, like to do the coaching, and stress what they want from individuals. And, more often than not, they get it.

Ander is a fantastic young player, with great energy and creativity. We believe him to be one of the brightest young prospects in Spain and I am certain he will be a big hit with the United fans. I’m delighted he has made the decision to come to Manchester and play his part in the club’s future.

disappointment games play
When you lose a game or don't play well you can't wait for the next one, because it soon disappears, the disappointment.
nice play people
I've always had people come up to me to say that they admire the way I play, and then they tell me they're not United fans. That's always been nice.
dad player people
Where I grew up, people obviously knew my dad because it's a small place and he was the top player for Swinton - they'd go and watch him play, see him in the papers, so they knew he was black.
team player differences
Many players want to make as much money as they can and change teams for ten grand. How is that going to make much difference to their lives?
winning games play
Every footballer wants to play forever. And if you are going to keep on playing - to enjoy it to the full - you want to win games, and as a result, trophies.
