Sir Alex Ferguson:
"I’ve selected 21 football games for this book which are particularly meaningful to me.
"The choices may surprise you because, rather than dwelling on the matches I’ve written about previously or those that might immediately register in the minds of fans, I’ve chosen games that take me back to different points in my life and which, even after the decades have passed, count for so much.
"Some of these games are not in any television archive. They are just memories. But, in my mind, I am watching them now – in vivid colour."

🚨🗣️ Paul Scholes on his IG story about Carrick: “It was in NO way intended to be offensive towards Michael. He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet in football.
“He’d be the LAST person I would want to offend. I messaged him anyway. I went straight to him and said, ‘Look, I was never intending to upset you.’ He told me himself he wasn’t upset by it.
“I think people just took it differently from what was meant. The only thing I was saying is that I don't think they played that well in the last four games and still managed to get results.
“We had the greatest manager in the world and he always said sometimes you need a bit of luck, so with sending offs and different things that happen through games. Sometimes you did need a bit of luck, that's all I was saying.” #MUFC [goodbadftblpod]

Carrick on the importance of being around the youth teams: "I think the Academy is such an important part of this club too and has been for so long, so there's a real responsibility to carry that through.
"So I certainly feel that responsibility, but it's a real privilege, to be honest, and playing a part like that is exactly what we should be doing." #mufc

Matheus Cunha on Manchester United:
“At no point do I think about the negative side of Manchester United. For me, it’s an extraordinary club.
I joke that the giant is sleeping, and that we are going to wake it up.”

🚨 The cost of #mufc new 100,000 seater stadium stood at £2 billion when it was announced a year ago, but securing the land next to Old Trafford has become a major stumbling block, with insiders believing co‑owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe would need an additional £1 billion to cover delays to building a new stadium.
The club are understood to have offered around £50 million for the site, far below the £400 million valuation held by owner Freightliner, and while a compulsory purchase order could ultimately determine the price, the process would still push the timeline back significantly, with work expected to take at least ten years [TheSunFootball]

🚨🗣️ Lammens: “Player with the hardest shot in training? Benjamin Sesko. It's CRAZY sometimes.
“You know, as a GK, when people are like five yards in front of you, you don't really want to hit the ball. He still DOES it sometimes. And I'm just thinking, easy, RELAX. Yeah, I would say him.” #MUFC [Ben Foster YT]

🚨🗣️ Lammens on Instagram followers gained overnight after Man United move:
“I think I started with 10k and then the first week, it was almost 700-800k followers. When I had the conversation about coming here, they were warning me a lot especially the media guys, about like Man United is a different animal. It’s one of a kind.
“And you think and you believe them, but it’s always different when you are really into it and in the situation. I'm quite a lot on social media but I try not to really use it as much as for football’s sake or get into those people who talk about football”. #MUFC [Ben Foster YT]
