-‘There’s no way you guys would know before me,’ ‘This is Manchester United we’re talking about.’

-By the time he went to bed on that Easter Monday, he knew he had been. For a start people had not been answering their phones, and when he finally did make contact with Ed Woodward, the club’s executive vice-chairman would only say that he would meet him at Carrington at 8am.

-But the reason I went to United was because I thought I was joining a club that would give me time. That was the big thing.

-When he agreed to this interview, he asked only that any fee this newspaper might wish to pay — he does not specify a figure — be donated to Darren Fletcher’s ‘United For Colitis’ charity

-‘I also went into the job thinking I want to do exactly what I did at Everton. I want to be the same person. I want to manage in the same style. Because why would I change when I had success working that way? But now, looking back, I think there might have to have been a slightly different approach. I might have altered the style in which I managed.’


-‘We tried to bring players in during the summer transfer window but they didn’t materialise. It certainly wasn’t for the lack of trying. It wasn’t indecision. The complete opposite.

-‘I had a good relationship with Robin,’ he says. ‘I liked him a lot. He was an intelligent guy. He had more injuries than the previous season but we did everything we could to get him fit.’

-‘Wayne would have become captain under me,’ he says. ‘Because of where he’s at now as a player. I think in time he may develop into a midfield player. He’s a great centre-forward but in the coming years I can see that happening. He can play in a number of positions. He’s very experienced now. Not a lot fazes him. I think he might need that responsibility now. Certainly for the next part of his career.


shame on woodward and shame on the club for leaking the news.

He's right about Rooney though, he would make an amazing midfielder with his passing.

Everton is not United. He cannot manage the same a mid table team and one of europe's finest. He was not successful at everton.
