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.
Man United, for all the doom and gloom, they're still the best club on the planet, they've got the best supporters and the best manager... United will always be United. To me, they are still the best and whatever disappointments they're having at the moment, don't worry, they'll bounce back. They always do.
Hopefully kids will look at me and see that your dreams can come true.
There has been lots of things said about me over the years. I am happy to comment on people's opinion in football I respect, but Tony Cascarino is a man I certainly do not respect, for a lot of reasons, and if I told you, you would be shocked. So the day I worry about Tony Cascarino will be a very sad day of my life.
I can't understand why people in Scotland rave about Darren Fletcher.
I just hope he doesn't frighten the players 'cos they're frigtened enough right now.
Yorkie has officially retired about 5 times... The man's a clown... People are going on about the game and agents and directors of football and managers losing their jobs, but we should be worried about people like him... Clowns. That's the last time I'm going to say clown... If he's the vice-president of FIFA, God help us all.
Happiness is not being afraid.
He's been like a fresh of breath air.
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'm not at Manchester United to keep everyone happy.
The last time I was charged by the FA they had a murder lawyer in against me, so it's going to be a hard case to win.
Sometimes you wonder, do they understand the game of football? (on referees)
If it's not a contract I want then I won't sign it. That's not a threat.
