1.   “It never rains in Manchester, but it pours” — Kevin Keegan

This quote isn’t directly related to Manchester United, but any knowledgeable United supporter knows the heavens like to open up above Manchester. Now although City and United receive equal amounts of rain, United seem to have received the majority of the blessings. Right, Keegan?  

2.   “In all modesty, my summing up of 1955-6 and 1956-7 must be that no club in the country could live with Manchester United.” — Matt Busby

Coming from the mouth of a true United legend and one who knew the Busby Babes better than anyone, it makes the Munich Disaster even more devastating.

3.   “I didn't do myself justice after joining Manchester City but, having said that, I shared a house with George Best for two years so it had its compensations!” — Mick Horswill

It seems sharing a house with a legend was as good as playing for Manchester City…maybe if Chelsea had offered Robinho the chance to share a house with one of their stars then they would’ve gotten their man?

4.  “I feel close to the rebelliousness and vigour of the youth here. Perhaps time will separate us, but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music.” — Eric Cantona

 I always knew Eric Cantona loved playing for Manchester United, but I had no idea music was one of the reasons why. You’ve got to love the King.   

5.   “I never comment on referees and I’m not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat.” — Ron Atkinson

 The former Manchester United manager sure knew how to be subtle when getting his points across.
