I have good memories of Manchester United.

I hope at Manchester United I can do my best. I will do my best.

It is not normal that one team dominates for 20 years in a row as the champion.

You have to live in the present, I think.

I think it is always a success when you win the title.

When you win the FA Cup, you have a title and a very respectable title in England - more than other countries.

I always played attacking football.

At Bayern, the people in charge are football men. I always appreciated that.

It cannot be a good thing when a club is run solely from a commercially-driven perspective.

I always tried to defend high up the pitch, to be in the opposition's half and play the game there.

You have expectations always when you buy players. Mostly, you have positive expectations.

I back all of my players, not only Wayne Rooney.

OK, Wayne Rooney is always the center of attention, and I always have to answer questions about him. But Wayne is Wayne, and he will always contribute in a game.

I think, always, the form of the players is a decisive factor. And a game-plan and the referee. He can influence the game. And in a derby, a cool head is also very important.

I am immensely proud to have helped United win the FA Cup for the 12th time in the club's history.

I have been privileged during my management career to have won 20 trophies, but winning the FA Cup, which is steeped in so much history, will always be one of the most special achievements of my career.

Having managed in Holland, Spain, and Germany, I had always hoped for the opportunity to manage in English football and be part of English culture.

I am not a dictator; I am a communicator.

You have to play football to entertain the fans.

I'm always honest.

I believe in Manchester United.

To look at the players, to communicate with the players, to observe and to analyze - that's my job.

Every player gets his time, no matter who you are.

Success at United doesn't depend on money but about which players we bring in.

A player needs to focus on one thing to be successful, while a coach is thinking about the whole process.

Of course I have ambition to become World Champions with Oranje.

The accommodation for the players to dress themselves, to change into their club shirts, are in most stadiums not so good.

Having coached Ajax, Barcelona, the Netherlands, FC Bayern, and Manchester United like I did, it is difficult for any offer to be interesting.

My conviction is that a full professional also wants to live professionally.

I look for players who do not just score goals but provide an attacking point, linking with other players and able to see the third man as well. Van Persie is one of the best strikers around at that.

You always need the hunger to play in the first team.

I criticize the media for inventing stories.

I speak English my way, but people understand it. You can understand everything I say, and that's the most important thing.

I had to follow Bobby Robson at Barcelona. He had won three titles.

It was very difficult to succeed Bert van Marwijk because, two years before, he was second in the World Cup, and then he left a broken-up team behind - so that was much more difficult than you think.

The most important thing is they have to know why we do things and when. A lot of players are playing intuitively, and I want them to think and know why they do something.

As coaches, we have to give a lot of information. Too much, I think.

I am used to a lot of criticism.

You have to deal with a lot of things when you are a professional football player, and that is not so easy.

I watch the Premier League, the Spanish and Dutch leagues, and a little bit of the German league.

A World Cup is always special because it is the highest podium on which you can show your abilities as an individual player or coach, and as a team.

When you have an older group of players, they play on automatic pilot a lot of the time, but with youngsters, you have more intuition.

With Luis Enrique, I never expected he would become a coach. He was an intuition player; he didn't speak with me about tactics.

Players count for nothing. The team is everything.

A system depends on the players you have.

The coach is the focal point of the team, but you need to have an open mind, and so do all the players. Everyone needs to work together to achieve a common goal.

Preparing your tactical formation is essential. Each player needs to know where he has to be, and that is why there needs to be mutual understanding: because you need absolute discipline.

I was 11 when my father died, so I didn't know my father so well.

The basis of my confidence is that I wasn't a talented player. I was a talented human being. At school, I always had good figures. I was the captain of all my football teams. I studied physical education at the Academy, so I learned to analyse, to observe, and to take decisions.
