Speaking to the Official Manchester United Podcast, the 53-year-old said:
What I love about Alex Ferguson is every time there was a new goal, a new challenge. Even if we were 10 points in front and we have already won the league, we would always try to find a new challenge, new records.
He is one of the few people I have met who has had a lot of influence on me. It's like in everything, the people we meet make us.
The meaning of Manchester United is winning. Winning with enjoyment. It's what all fans of Manchester United expect. Not only winning, winning with enjoyment. Like for 25 years with Alex Ferguson, or before with Matt Busby. That's Manchester United, it's why we all love Manchester United.
