“He’s a brilliant player to play with and it has been a pleasure over the years. You’ve seen him today (against Swansea City) - he’s not played for I don’t know how long and he comes in and his little five-yard passes and 30-yard passes, plus his range of passing, was just unbelievable.”
“He’s just a pleasure to play with - someone who, as a forward player, you knew if you made a run, he would play you in. You wouldn’t even have to break stride as you knew the pace of the pass would be perfect and he’d put it where you wanted it to be put. He is just an amazing player and an amazing person.”
- Ryan Giggs
“It’s been a good day. We’ve won the game, that’s all that matters. We’ll celebrate it and hopefully in more years there will be more trophies for these players. It was just nice to get through the game. I thought Sir Alex handled it well, he spoke really well and he has done a fantastic job here. I know it’s the right time for me to go. It’s not been the season I would have liked personally, but we’ve won the league and it’s a great day.”

“There was always going to be a day (when I would retire), you know? Fortunately I’m going out a winner, that’s what I always wanted to be - a winner.”
“(I made my decision to retire at) Christmas. I didn’t tell my sons until March and I only told my brother on Tuesday night. He’s not too pleased! It was Cathy, my wife, really. She lost her sister last October and has been a bit isolated. She has been the head of the family and made sacrifices for me, our three sons and our grandchildren who dote on her. And there was always going to be a time when I would have to close the book.”
“It was so important to go out a winner. I was praying that we would carry on the way we were going because we were five points clear at Christmas time. We just motored on and fortunately we won it very easily.”
- Sir Alex Ferguson
