“She’s a fighter and is keeping positive.”
“How Rooney copes with still being so young and with getting all the fame and attention depends on the person he is. He must have the right character to go with his skill. Pele was born to play with the ball. Rooney also needs to play with the ball. They have both done that from a very early age.”
“We are still good enough. We have definitely got the quality.”
“We’ve a better chance than last season,” said Sir Alex. ”
“I saw it in the air and I knew it was going to be a difficult bounce. So I just took a gamble and I’m lucky enough it paid off.”
“What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch, it was a bit of handbags, that’s all.”
“I love playing football but I think I am like everyone else, I hate losing and love winning. And if the time comes when I am not disappointed when things are definitely not going right, then that’s when people should worry.”

“We could have scored more — we should have.”
“For me it’s the biggest trophy in the world and in the summer I hope to be holding it up.”

“I’ll be coming in every day (for treatment) and trying to give myself the best possible chance.”

“Hopefully, we can kick on and keep winning games. Hopefully, Chelsea will drop a few points and we can get close to them or even catch them. And with a bit of luck, we could end up overtaking them.”
“We’ve got to keep winning and, if we do that, hopefully Chelsea drop points.”
“Once a Blue, always a Blue.”
