What his rivals say
Arsène Wenger (Arsenal manager):
“Nobody has done better. It is remarkable to have such a consistent motivation at that level - and deal with the stress and all the other ingredients.”
José Mourinho (Former Chelsea manager, now at Inter Milan):
“I call him boss because he is the manager’s boss. He’s the top manager in the country. Maybe when I become 60, the kids will call me the same.”
Rafael Benítez (Liverpool manager):
“Ferguson is killing referees.”
“When you talk about United you’re talking about a side spending big, big money on every player, every season. For me that is the main difference between the teams.”
