Alex Ferguson Winning Quotations

You are responsible to each other because when you win a game of football, you only need eight players to perform well.

We were lucky to be winning at halftime. But in the second half we could have scored four or five.

We're capable of winning the league but we need to get the form that's capable of winning the league -- and we're not showing that at the moment.

The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.

We got anxious at the end of the weekend in our urgency to try to score the winning goal. Ended up playing far too many long balls forward. That style of play doesn't suit Manchester United. We must continue to play football and enjoy the game. If we do that, eventually things will come right for us.

Liverpool can play for only five minutes and win the game, that is the way they are. They pump the ball into the box and with good set-piece delivery they keep you under pressure.

Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way. When you win you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.

There has been a lot of expectation on Manchester City and with the spending they have done they have to win something. Sometimes you have a noisy neighbor and have to live with it.

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.

Manchester United might not win Premier League every year, but we'd always be up there competing for it every year.

I always used to say to players at half-time, 'Be patient. The last fifteen minutes throw the kitchen sink at them. It's worth a gamble'. You are going to lose the game anyway. There is nothing better than when you get to that last fifteen minutes and you actually win the game late on. The fans are going out of the gates I gave it a try and it worked.

There was one or two offers that did come along during my time at United, but I always came back to this point; why would you leave United? Where is the bigger challenge? And the thing about challenges is, once you have won something, you can't live on that. Not at Manchester United - you have got to win the next one. And that's the challenge. Maintaining that consistency of winning which is a mentality that I have had.

Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles.

We once went 13 games without winning. There's always pressure here. Winning is always important here. How do you handle yourself and compose yourself is important. (on Manchester United)

If your form is good in April you have a good chance. If you're stuttering then you can throw it away. We're catching them and hopefully the winning line doesn't come too quickly.
