“Goalkeeping is very, very much about confidence and thinking you are the man.”

“Neuer is simply sensational.”

“There are millions of Manchester United fans everywhere in the world. A lot of them live by the club. They need to be inspired by the manager.”

“People talk about the hair dryer and all this with Sir Alex Ferguson. What was really great about him, whatever happened in a game, he would spend whatever minutes it took him to get this out of this system and say whatever needed to be said. Once he said, 'Get your bath,' that was it. We knew that it would never return.”

“Kids want to play in goal.”

“Neuer is the best goalkeeper in the world by far.”

“To have an 18-year-old coming to you demanding money before he's even played - that has got to be frustrating for a manager to deal with.”

“It all comes down to which way you hit the post. Do you hit it on the inside or the outside? Does it go in, or does it go out?”

“Joe Hart has bags and bags of talent.”

“I am a massive fan of Wayne Rooney, and it is nice to see him play in any position because he gives a 100 per cent. Not many players can do that and say they do that.”

“Sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up and say you've been beaten by a quality free-kick.”

“We never played for 1-0 and then defend. We always went for the second goal and the third.”

“You can't just walk into Old Trafford, and you're there. There's so much to get used to.”

“You have to believe you can win.”

“I would have come to play at United for absolutely nothing if I'd been given the chance - everyone I played with at the time would have done that, too.”

“I want exciting players.”

“You don't sign a player for the sake of it.”

“I have no regrets about leaving, and I don't miss being at United at all.”

“It's not the mistake that's important; it's how you recover from it. If you recover instantly, in that second, it's gone from your mind. You play on and don't make the next mistake, and that's the sign of a top keeper. Joe Hart certainly is one of those guys.”

“For Zlatan to play the way we love him to play, he has to be Zlatan.”
