6.  “Cole should be scoring from those distances, but I’m not going to single him out.” — Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex must have learned from his predecessor about how to be subtle in order to get his points across.

 

7.   “As long as we are successful on the pitch, then I will be here—unless Manchester United put in a call. But I don't think Sir Alex Ferguson is planning to step down just yet!” — Paul Ince

 More than a decade later and I guess the current Blackburn manager was right!

 

 

8.  “Fergie said I was a Manchester United player in the wrong shirt—I said he was an Arsenal manager in the wrong blazer.” — Tony Adams

 This one is just downright amusing.

 

 

9.   “Paul Jewell's sides are always hard to break down, although Manchester United have a habit of breaking his sides down pretty easily.” — Charlie Nicholas

Wow, what a great, insightful quote from the Sky Sports pundit…  

 

 

10.  "When Manchester United are at their best I am close to orgasm." — Gianluca Vialli

The former Italian striker and manager was one of only six Italian footballers to ever win the three main European club competitions (European Cup, Cup Winners’ Cup, and UEFA Cup). But I highly doubt he came as close to having an orgasm during his playing days as he did when watching Manchester United.

 

 

There you have it, my top 10 favorite Manchester United quotes ever. I'm sure there are probably plenty more out there but for now, these will remain my favorites...unless anyone else has any better ones, of course.
