RYAN: What's the question I get asked most?
3
00:00:23,791 --> 00:00:26,751
"Are we going to win the league this year?"
I always get asked that.
4
00:00:26,831 --> 00:00:27,911
INTERVIEWER: What's the answer?
5
00:00:27,991 --> 00:00:29,671
(SCOFFS) Not this year, no.
6
00:00:30,391 --> 00:00:32,271
(CHUCKLING) Pretty easy this year.
7
00:00:32,591 --> 00:00:34,951
Sometimes it's, "Mmm..." I hope so.
8
00:00:36,471 --> 00:00:37,911
"What's Rooney like?"
9
00:00:39,031 --> 00:00:41,751
Used to be, "What's Cantona like?
What's Ronaldo like?
10
00:00:41,831 --> 00:00:43,751
"What's Beckham like?"
11
00:00:46,071 --> 00:00:48,391
They're all right. (LAUGHING)
12
00:00:49,151 --> 00:00:54,071
No, I'll tell you what. The most the last
five years, "Are you going again this year?
13
00:00:54,151 --> 00:00:56,231
"Are you going again next year?
14
00:00:56,311 --> 00:00:58,151
"When you finishing?"
15
00:01:06,831 --> 00:01:11,231
Manchester United symbolises,
for me, the bedrock of my life.
16
00:01:11,311 --> 00:01:14,111
Been there since I was 13. I learnt so much.
17
00:01:14,231 --> 00:01:19,711
Winning, never-giving-up attitude,
the history, meeting new friends, the fans,
18
00:01:20,791 --> 00:01:24,791
learning things every day
and just a great place to be fortunate
19
00:01:24,871 --> 00:01:27,311
to go every day for over 20 years.
20
00:01:35,191 --> 00:01:36,791
DAVID BECKHAM: He was
one of these players that,
21
00:01:36,871 --> 00:01:38,551
once he stepped on the field,
22
00:01:38,631 --> 00:01:40,271
you know that something special
was going to happen,
23
00:01:40,351 --> 00:01:43,191
and that's one of the reasons
why he's had the career that he's had.
24
00:01:43,271 --> 00:01:47,271
It's one of the reasons
why he's been able to play
25
00:01:47,351 --> 00:01:50,751
up until the age of 40
at the highest level in football.
26
00:02:00,791 --> 00:02:03,991
PAUL SCHOLES: Sometimes you get players
who make you look better than you are,
27
00:02:04,071 --> 00:02:07,471
and I think Giggs would be the best one
I've ever played with.
28
00:02:13,191 --> 00:02:15,431
HENRY WINTER: If he played on snow,
he wouldn't have left footprints.
29
00:02:15,511 --> 00:02:18,471
You won't see a player with that athleticism,
with that intelligence
30
00:02:18,551 --> 00:02:21,991
and to have that hunger
season after season, to turn up
31
00:02:22,071 --> 00:02:25,191
to push your body through
chasing trophy after trophy.
32
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:28,871
Thirteen Premier League trophies,
two Champions Leagues as well.
33
00:02:28,951 --> 00:02:31,471
Ryan Giggs will be remembered
as the greatest player
34
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:33,391
to have graced the Premier League.
35
00:02:42,551 --> 00:02:45,191
GARY NEVILLE: You don't sometimes
recognise greatness whilst it's happening.
36
00:02:45,271 --> 00:02:48,471
You usually have to wait 20 years
or when you're dead to get a statue,
37
00:02:48,551 --> 00:02:50,751
but he shouldn't have to
for what he's achieved.
38
00:03:01,031 --> 00:03:02,551
SIR ALEX FERGUSON:
There's no player in the game today
39
00:03:02,631 --> 00:03:04,191
that can get up and down that touchline
40
00:03:04,271 --> 00:03:06,191
as an outside left,
41
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:08,791
attacking but willing to go back to defend,
42
00:03:09,151 --> 00:03:11,631
the attitude to winning all the time.
43
00:03:11,991 --> 00:03:14,911
There's no player in the Premier League
who gets anywhere near that.
44
00:03:40,231 --> 00:03:44,271
CROWD:
Giggs will tear you apart again
45
00:03:44,831 --> 00:03:48,831
Giggs will tear you apart again
46
00:03:49,351 --> 00:03:53,631
Giggs will tear you apart again
47
00:03:54,031 --> 00:03:55,631

(ALL SINGING INDISTINCTLY)
50
00:04:36,871 --> 00:04:41,351
This was off Gary, Gary Nev, Gary Neville,
a nice bottle of red wine.
51
00:04:42,271 --> 00:04:45,511
Yeah, Italian, but I think
52
00:04:45,591 --> 00:04:48,831
Roy Hodgson and Graham Souness
have got him
53
00:04:48,951 --> 00:04:50,031
into a tracksuit as well.
54
00:04:50,111 --> 00:04:51,271
STACEY: No, pyjamas.
55
00:04:51,351 --> 00:04:53,071
Oh, Pyjamas, sorry.
56
00:04:54,551 --> 00:04:57,751
Yeah, that shows my age
that I'm getting excited when I get pyjamas.
57
00:04:57,951 --> 00:04:59,431
(BOTH LAUGHING)
58
00:04:59,591 --> 00:05:02,311
This was off the club, Paul Smith bag,
59
00:05:03,071 --> 00:05:04,711
so that was nice.
60
00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:10,151
I mean, I started when I was 17,
and I'm looking at people like Mark Hughes,
61
00:05:10,231 --> 00:05:15,471
who was probably, at the time, 28, 29,
as old, Brucey Robson,
62
00:05:17,831 --> 00:05:21,631
32, 33, and I'm thinking, God, they're ancient.
63
00:05:21,711 --> 00:05:25,631
So God knows what the likes
of Adnan and Phil Jones
64
00:05:25,711 --> 00:05:29,111
and Danny Welbeck, people like that,
are thinking of how old I am.
65
00:05:29,191 --> 00:05:34,471
It's killing me. Like making debut
before people are even born and... Yeah.
66
00:05:35,391 --> 00:05:37,191
I'll be glad when it's over.
67
00:05:37,271 --> 00:05:38,791
(LAUGHING)
68
00:05:39,591 --> 00:05:42,031
When you were younger, 17, 18,
you'd just go out and play
69
00:05:42,111 --> 00:05:45,551
and it's no problem, you feel fit.
But then after 30,
70
00:05:45,671 --> 00:05:48,191
especially toward the end of your 30s,
71
00:05:48,271 --> 00:05:52,071
you can play in a game
and you just feel absolutely rubbish.
72
00:05:52,151 --> 00:05:53,991
Maybe your preparation hasn't been right,
73
00:05:54,071 --> 00:05:57,111
or maybe it's your first game,
or even your second game,
74
00:05:57,191 --> 00:05:58,751
and you just don't feel match fit.
75
00:05:58,831 --> 00:06:02,231
Then you start thinking,
are you ready to do it all again?
76
00:06:02,311 --> 00:06:04,671
Have you still got the buzz? Have you...
77
00:06:04,751 --> 00:06:06,871
Do you still feel fit?
Are you still contributing?
78
00:06:06,951 --> 00:06:08,111
Are you still happy?
79
00:06:09,191 --> 00:06:13,311
I've come in from training, walked in
and they've all got their Giggsy masks on,
80
00:06:13,471 --> 00:06:17,871
and then around the dressing room
was just different pictures of me
81
00:06:17,951 --> 00:06:22,071
throughout my career, some not
too flattering. Stuff like this, which...
82
00:06:24,111 --> 00:06:25,351
Bit embarrassing.
83
00:06:25,751 --> 00:06:29,271
Great cross, that's my Arsenal goal,
claiming it was a cross.
84
00:06:29,991 --> 00:06:31,231
That sort of thing.
85
00:06:33,311 --> 00:06:35,911
So, yeah, I took a bit of stick today.
86
00:06:36,671 --> 00:06:39,871
Few of these pictures have ruined me,
haven't they? (LAUGHS)
87
00:06:42,711 --> 00:06:47,031
He could switch from being Elvis
88
00:06:47,111 --> 00:06:51,311
and rapping at a party
where we've just won the league,
89
00:06:51,391 --> 00:06:55,471
and then he's on the field and totally focused
90
00:06:55,551 --> 00:06:58,231
in exactly what he needs to do.
91
00:06:58,311 --> 00:07:00,951
That's one of the great things about Giggsy.
92
00:07:08,511 --> 00:07:11,791
RYAN: This season, obviously
it was always going to be difficult
93
00:07:11,871 --> 00:07:14,591
because Sir Alex had left
and he'd been here for so long.
94
00:07:15,711 --> 00:07:19,351
As a player, yeah, you know
that the results ain't going right
95
00:07:19,431 --> 00:07:23,351
and you want to do better,
both as an individual and as a team.
96
00:07:24,191 --> 00:07:25,631
At the moment,
97
00:07:26,751 --> 00:07:28,391
well, I'm not playing and
98
00:07:28,991 --> 00:07:33,591
we're obviously not winning
every game, so, yeah, it's, uh...
99
00:07:35,151 --> 00:07:38,871
Yeah, it's been an obviously
disappointing season all round for me.
100
00:07:40,231 --> 00:07:43,351
Can I tie my shoelaces
without dropping the ball?
101
00:07:43,711 --> 00:07:45,351
INTERVIEWER: Go on, go for it.
102
00:07:46,391 --> 00:07:47,831
- There you go.
-(LAUGHING)
103
00:07:49,391 --> 00:07:52,711
Suddenly, when you get to 38, 39,
you have to say...
104
00:07:53,351 --> 00:07:55,511
You say to yourself,
"When is he going to quit?"
105
00:07:55,591 --> 00:07:57,631
And he probably has asked
the same question himself,
106
00:07:57,711 --> 00:08:00,631
but he's such an exceptional human being
107
00:08:00,711 --> 00:08:04,431
that he carried on, and that's quite amazing.
108
00:08:04,591 --> 00:08:06,551
FEMALE NEWSREADER ON TV:
After this short break,
109
00:08:06,631 --> 00:08:08,511
we'll have more reaction to
the managers' press conference.
110
00:08:08,711 --> 00:08:10,951
What did il: say there? MU I V?
111
00:08:11,191 --> 00:08:14,471
STACEY: He did mention retiring
quite a few times last season
112
00:08:14,551 --> 00:08:16,151
and he was on the verge,
113
00:08:16,391 --> 00:08:19,111
um, because he said,
"I could be going out on a high,"
114
00:08:19,191 --> 00:08:21,311
which we all thought, "Great,"
115
00:08:22,591 --> 00:08:24,511
and then he was persuaded to stay.
116
00:08:25,311 --> 00:08:27,831
I think he's going to really struggle
when he finishes
117
00:08:27,911 --> 00:08:31,071
because he's had that same routine
for 25 years,
118
00:08:31,191 --> 00:08:35,191
and to then have, well, maybe nothing to do,
119
00:08:36,151 --> 00:08:38,111
it's going to be really hard.
120
00:08:38,191 --> 00:08:43,351
The kids bought him these, and the club
sends him one of them every year,
121
00:08:43,991 --> 00:08:47,111
and I think that one's from the BBC,
this yoga one.
122
00:08:48,591 --> 00:08:50,831
- That one's good.
-(ALL AGREEING)
123
00:08:50,911 --> 00:08:52,911

00:09:02,871 --> 00:09:05,751
RYAN: Just spotted this. What is this?
Lunch with the Nevilles?
126
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:10,351
That's getting recorded.
127

"Gary and Phil Neville join together

"to raise money for their hometown club

129
00:09:18,471 --> 00:09:20,311
I'll be watching that.
130
00:09:20,551 --> 00:09:24,951
First memory of him was an overhead kick
he scored at The Cliff
131
00:09:25,471 --> 00:09:27,511
against Lewisham when we were Under 15s,
132
00:09:28,111 --> 00:09:32,351
and thinking, "I've got a long way
to go to get to that level."
133
00:09:32,831 --> 00:09:34,671
He was just streets ahead of everybody
134
00:09:34,751 --> 00:09:39,671
that we'd ever met, really, in terms
of football. Never seen anything like it.
135
00:09:40,511 --> 00:09:41,831
The ball was stuck to his feet.
136
00:09:42,351 --> 00:09:44,791
His left foot, sorry, not his feet. (LAUGHS)
137
00:09:44,871 --> 00:09:46,071
He can't dribble with his right.
138
00:09:46,151 --> 00:09:50,031
As a United fan, you never think anybody
can beat Sir Bobby Charlton's record.
139
00:09:50,231 --> 00:09:53,951
Growing up, you just think that
it's a mountain of games over 20 years.
140
00:09:54,031 --> 00:09:57,071
The achievements of him are just incredible.
141
00:09:57,431 --> 00:10:03,151
It'll never be beaten. No one will ever win
as many Premier League titles as Ryan Giggs.

RYAN: I've got very few stuff around
the house, but this is presented to me
143
00:10:11,071 --> 00:10:12,911
by the Barclay's Premier League.
144
00:10:13,871 --> 00:10:16,831
They sort of had a celebration
of 20 years of the Premier League,
145
00:10:16,911 --> 00:10:20,351
and this was in recognition
of over 500 Premier League appearances,
146
00:10:20,431 --> 00:10:22,351
which they gave me in 2012.
147
00:10:26,071 --> 00:10:29,791
These were the boots that I wore in Moscow,
148
00:10:29,871 --> 00:10:31,871
when we won the Champions League.
149
00:10:31,951 --> 00:10:38,871
It was the game that I broke
Sir Bobby Charlton's appearance record.

(INAUDIBLE)
152
00:11:31,831 --> 00:11:35,871
RYAN: I supported the appointment
of David Moyes as British coach,
153
00:11:37,151 --> 00:11:38,831
done brilliantly with Everton,
154
00:11:38,911 --> 00:11:42,951
similar sort of traits as Sir Alex and, yeah,
155
00:11:43,031 --> 00:11:45,031
I thought it was the right appointment.
156
00:11:47,311 --> 00:11:51,311
I'd signed another year in March, April.
David Moyes rang me in the summer
157
00:11:51,391 --> 00:11:54,631
and asked me if I'd like to
be part of the staff as well,
158
00:11:54,711 --> 00:11:58,631
which I thought it was a great challenge
for me and the next step in my career.
159
00:11:59,711 --> 00:12:05,791
I started my coaching maybe ten years ago.
We had the facilities of United,
160
00:12:05,871 --> 00:12:08,631
we had the access to the players
161
00:12:08,711 --> 00:12:11,031
and it just seemed the right thing
to do at the time.
162
00:12:11,111 --> 00:12:14,351
Obviously 30, so you could
be finishing in two or three years' time,
163
00:12:14,431 --> 00:12:16,231
so it was that sort of mindset, "Right,
164
00:12:16,311 --> 00:12:19,471
"we need to start getting ready

(PLAYERS EXCLAIMING)

00:12:25,871 --> 00:12:27,511
You know, you come to
your end of your career
167
00:12:27,591 --> 00:12:29,111
and it's horrible, it's the worst...
168
00:12:29,191 --> 00:12:32,631
It's the worst thing probably I've ever had
to deal with professionally.
169
00:12:32,711 --> 00:12:34,151
Coming to the end of your football career,
170
00:12:34,231 --> 00:12:37,231
everyone tells you to play
for as long as you possibly can
171
00:12:37,311 --> 00:12:39,591
because the next stage
of your life is not as good
172
00:12:39,671 --> 00:12:41,951
because you're not playing football,
the sport that you love,
173
00:12:42,031 --> 00:12:44,511
so he's gotta somehow find...
174
00:12:44,991 --> 00:12:48,751
Find something inside him
that brings closure on his football career.
175
00:12:56,511 --> 00:13:00,191
RYAN: It's been a difficult year playing-wise,
not enjoyed the results and the playing,
176
00:13:00,271 --> 00:13:03,511
so have I contributed? Not as much
as I have done previously.
177
00:13:04,151 --> 00:13:08,751
If I'd have retired last year, I'd have
gone out on a high, United's 20th title
178
00:13:10,311 --> 00:13:13,431
and everything would have been rosy.
179
00:13:13,511 --> 00:13:15,791
But life isn't like that.
180
00:13:25,831 --> 00:13:29,951
Yeah, there's definitely an issue
where you can't be too open,
181
00:13:30,311 --> 00:13:33,711
whereas other sports,
that probably isn't the case.
182
00:13:33,871 --> 00:13:37,471
You're guided by the press office, really,
on what not to say.
183

It's been very good for us so far...

(LAUGHING)
193
00:14:45,711 --> 00:14:48,151
I mean, yeah, of course,
as a player you want to play all the time.
194
00:14:48,231 --> 00:14:50,991
I mean, the last time I played
was probably the first time
195
00:14:51,071 --> 00:14:53,991
in six or seven weeks, but we've got
a lot of players to choose from
196
00:14:54,071 --> 00:14:56,031
who are always ready to play,
and that's what you've gotta do.

- Yeah.

- Right, see you later.
- All right, thanks, Ryan.
201
00:15:23,711 --> 00:15:24,991
Yeah, he's all gone.
202
00:15:26,471 --> 00:15:32,551
A bit naughty, really, asking
if I'm going to take over from the manager.
203
00:15:34,111 --> 00:15:36,671
There was one right at the end
204
00:15:36,751 --> 00:15:39,471
where he asked about us falling out.
205
00:15:40,751 --> 00:15:44,511
But if you lose a game, then you're obviously
going to have to handle the stick
206
00:15:44,591 --> 00:15:47,111
because you're not expected to lose games,
207
00:15:47,191 --> 00:15:52,791
you're not expected to lose
so many games at Man United.
208
00:15:53,511 --> 00:15:56,631
So... And the manager knows that,
209
00:15:57,791 --> 00:16:01,311
and it's not a problem that.
You take that criticism all day long.
210
00:16:07,591 --> 00:16:10,671
I honestly don't know if I'm going to
go into management or not.
211
00:16:10,751 --> 00:16:13,351
I've prepared myself for it as best I can,
212
00:16:13,631 --> 00:16:16,071
and that's all you can do, really.
213
00:16:16,151 --> 00:16:19,311
The problem is, obviously these days,
that managers
214
00:16:20,031 --> 00:16:24,111
don't last very long.
I mean, it is ridiculous, really.
215
00:16:24,511 --> 00:16:27,391
You see managers changing all the time,
and still they come back for more,
216
00:16:27,471 --> 00:16:30,471
and it's that buzz that they get
and they really miss it when they're away,
217
00:16:30,551 --> 00:16:35,551
so it might be a case of you start managing,
or you become a manager
218
00:16:35,631 --> 00:16:38,191
and you absolutely love it,
even if you're not a success,
219
00:16:38,271 --> 00:16:40,071
and you want to come back for more
220
00:16:40,151 --> 00:16:42,071
because, obviously like football,
you learn from your mistakes
221
00:16:42,151 --> 00:16:43,391
and you get better and better.
222
00:16:43,471 --> 00:16:46,431
Or it could be a case of
you go into management,
223
00:16:46,511 --> 00:16:50,911
you don't do very well and that's it, finished.
224
00:17:14,231 --> 00:17:17,271
You won't get a lot out of me tonight
because I am grumpy.
225
00:17:23,591 --> 00:17:26,191
I didn't really get into the game.
226
00:17:27,191 --> 00:17:31,231
I found myself, well, I think we all did,
defending for most of the night,
227
00:17:31,311 --> 00:17:36,471
so obviously my main asset is when I get
on the ball, rather than defending.
228
00:17:39,111 --> 00:17:41,511
I didn't really get a chance.
229
00:17:42,711 --> 00:17:44,311
I was either too deep or...
230
00:17:47,111 --> 00:17:48,471
Just didn't get the ball.
231
00:17:49,311 --> 00:17:53,911
As a fan, this season obviously
hasn't went the way I was hoping it would.
232
00:17:53,991 --> 00:17:55,071
I was fearing...
233
00:17:56,911 --> 00:18:01,111
I thought there was always going to be
a little bit of a drop off from when Fergie left.
234
00:18:01,311 --> 00:18:03,871
I didn't think it would be such a drop off,
235
00:18:04,351 --> 00:18:06,391
where they're not going to
qualify for Champions League.
236
00:18:07,431 --> 00:18:12,111
RYAN: After going out against Bayern,
you've not got anything really to play for.
237
00:18:12,191 --> 00:18:14,951
You're out of the Champions League.
It was always going to be tough
238
00:18:15,031 --> 00:18:18,911
after that because that was the only thing
we were going for, really.
239
00:18:20,191 --> 00:18:23,711
It'll be a nightmare for
the next few days, and then
240
00:18:24,591 --> 00:18:26,151
gradually you just snap out of it,
241
00:18:26,231 --> 00:18:28,031
because you wanna be involved,
you wanna play.
242
00:18:28,111 --> 00:18:30,711
On top of all this, I'm on the treatment bed,
243
00:18:30,791 --> 00:18:34,031
I'm getting iced and I get chosen for doping,
244
00:18:34,271 --> 00:18:36,191
so that just tops it all off for tonight.
245
00:18:36,271 --> 00:18:40,471
So I had to go and piss in a cup
when I don't really want to,
246
00:18:40,551 --> 00:18:43,631
and that just tops my evening off, really.
247
00:18:47,231 --> 00:18:49,631
You love me, don't you?
248
00:18:49,711 --> 00:18:51,191
Don"[ you?
249
00:18:51,311 --> 00:18:54,511
You're not moving, are you?
You're thinking about it.
250
00:18:55,991 --> 00:18:59,231
Are you thinking about it?
Are you thinking about it?
251
00:18:59,631 --> 00:19:01,391
Are you? Eh?
252
00:19:03,271 --> 00:19:04,311
Ooh.
253
00:19:07,351 --> 00:19:08,511
Is that nice?
254
00:19:10,071 --> 00:19:11,111
Eh?
255
00:19:15,151 --> 00:19:18,191
CAMERON: Nailed it, absolute nailed it.
256
00:19:18,431 --> 00:19:21,191
RYAN: Well, we lost against Everton,
that was on the Sunday,
257
00:19:21,271 --> 00:19:24,911
then Monday we had the day off,
so I was playing golf with my mate.
258
00:19:25,031 --> 00:19:26,431
I was playing golf with Cameron.
259
00:19:26,511 --> 00:19:28,391
Yeah, I'm losing now, after that shot.
260
00:19:28,471 --> 00:19:29,631
What was that? Seven?
261
00:19:29,711 --> 00:19:30,831
CAMERON: I didn't hit it right.
262
00:19:31,111 --> 00:19:34,191
RYAN: And when you can hear
your phone going and texts,
263
00:19:34,271 --> 00:19:37,031
and it was just off different people,
"What's going on?
264
00:19:37,111 --> 00:19:38,431
"What's happening?
Have you heard anything?"
265
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:42,191
And I'm not on Twitter,
I'm not on social media of any kind.
266
00:19:42,271 --> 00:19:45,111
I don't really read the papers.
I didn't know, "What do you mean?
267
00:19:45,191 --> 00:19:46,631
"I don't know what's going on."
268
00:19:47,431 --> 00:19:50,311
And, um, apparently that's
when all the rumours started
269
00:19:50,391 --> 00:19:54,511
that the manager was going to leave.
270
00:20:07,951 --> 00:20:09,231
(INAUDIBLE)
271
00:20:26,711 --> 00:20:31,071
I knew that if they sacked David Moyes
that Ryan would take over for the period
272
00:20:31,151 --> 00:20:34,591
to the end of the season as a minimum.
I don't think that came as a shock to anybody.
273
00:20:34,671 --> 00:20:36,391
He was the natural person that was there,
274
00:20:36,471 --> 00:20:40,391
an authority in the changing room,
respected by everybody in the club
275
00:20:40,471 --> 00:20:42,631
and I was delighted that Ryan
was getting an opportunity
276
00:20:42,711 --> 00:20:44,431
for the last four weeks of the season.
277
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:47,511
Oh, flipping heck, what a day.
278
00:20:47,591 --> 00:20:51,631
Ed Woodward informed me
that they were letting the manager go,
279
00:20:51,711 --> 00:20:55,111
which was obviously sad to hear
280
00:20:55,191 --> 00:20:58,431
because you don't want anyone
ever to lose their job.
281
00:20:58,511 --> 00:21:02,031
And then he went on to ask me
if I'd like to look after the team
282
00:21:02,111 --> 00:21:06,271
for the remaining four games,
which, yeah, didn't hesitate
283
00:21:06,351 --> 00:21:11,071
and was obviously happy to do
and thrilled to do.
284
00:21:11,951 --> 00:21:15,031
It's obviously been a crazy clay,
and I've not really probably sat...
285
00:21:15,111 --> 00:21:17,231
Had time to sit down and think about it,
286
00:21:17,311 --> 00:21:20,671
and maybe it will hit me later in the week
or maybe it'll hit me
287
00:21:20,751 --> 00:21:24,311
when I get into the press conference
or at Old Trafford for the game.
288
00:21:24,391 --> 00:21:27,871
I don't know, but I'm obviously excited.
289
00:21:28,311 --> 00:21:29,871
It's just a mixture of different feelings,
290
00:21:29,951 --> 00:21:32,711
and you're outside your comfort zone
and it's...
291
00:21:34,271 --> 00:21:36,631
It's a strange experience.
292
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:40,991
I might not enjoy it,
might not get the right results,
293
00:21:41,071 --> 00:21:43,871
I might not be the right man,
I might not be ready.
294
00:21:44,071 --> 00:21:46,351
All them things are just
up in the air at the moment,
295
00:21:46,431 --> 00:21:51,591
and we'll soon find out a lot of the answers
to them questions.
296
00:21:52,431 --> 00:21:56,191
I don't need to be set expectations
because I've got my own expectations.
297
00:21:57,031 --> 00:22:00,511
Four games for Man United,
three at home, I expect to win them.
298
00:22:01,511 --> 00:22:06,311
You wanted someone from the class of '92,
someone who understood the DNA,
299
00:22:06,391 --> 00:22:09,631
the culture, the heartbeat of the club,
to step back in there
300
00:22:09,711 --> 00:22:12,711
and to remind the world
and to remind the fans
301
00:22:12,791 --> 00:22:14,911
and the players
what Manchester United is all about.
302
00:22:14,991 --> 00:22:17,711
It's about width, it's about fearless attacking,
303
00:22:17,791 --> 00:22:20,351
it's about attack, attack, attack,
at the Stretford end,
304
00:22:20,431 --> 00:22:23,031
and all those qualities
that Ryan Giggs embodied,
305
00:22:23,111 --> 00:22:25,111
so I thought he was a perfect choice.
306
00:22:42,511 --> 00:22:46,551
He's obviously not managed a team before,
but he knows Manchester United
307
00:22:46,631 --> 00:22:49,111
better than anyone that's there.
308
00:22:49,271 --> 00:22:52,151
He loves Man United probably more
than anyone that's there.
309
00:22:52,751 --> 00:22:54,711
He's got the respect from
310
00:22:54,791 --> 00:22:57,311
the professionals that
he's played with over the years.
311
00:22:57,391 --> 00:22:59,871
He's got that ruthless streak
that I think managers,
312
00:22:59,951 --> 00:23:01,311
good managers, really need.
313
00:23:01,671 --> 00:23:06,671
I think he has exactly what it takes
to be successful in management.
314
00:23:10,911 --> 00:23:13,431
Getting the coaching role really quick
315
00:23:13,511 --> 00:23:15,791
is something that
maybe you are not prepared for,
316
00:23:15,871 --> 00:23:19,071
but I think he's got the special mentality.
He's been in there,
317
00:23:19,151 --> 00:23:24,391
he knows Man United more than
any other player in the last 30 years.
318
00:23:24,471 --> 00:23:27,391
It's always difficult to take that step.
319
00:23:31,111 --> 00:23:33,991
PHIL: I've only ever known Ryan
as a player and as a friend,
320
00:23:34,071 --> 00:23:37,871
so the day he got the job on obviously
a part-time basis it was, uh...
321
00:23:38,631 --> 00:23:39,991
You obviously didn't know what to expect.
322
00:23:40,071 --> 00:23:41,831
Is he good enough?
Has he got the temperament?
323
00:23:41,911 --> 00:23:44,671
Has he got the tactical knowledge? Et cetera.
324
00:23:44,751 --> 00:23:46,911
Well, Ryan's handled
playing on the big stage,
325
00:23:46,991 --> 00:23:50,711
he's handled everything that's
thrown at him over the last 20 years,
326
00:23:51,231 --> 00:23:52,911
so why can't he handle being a manager?
327
00:23:52,991 --> 00:23:55,351
It might be fantasy, but I think this club
328
00:23:55,431 --> 00:23:57,231
is built on a little bit of fantasy.
329
00:23:59,311 --> 00:24:02,991
The players are giving me a bit of stick
about, "Where are you going to park?"
330
00:24:03,511 --> 00:24:06,631
No point messing about, is there?
Just get in the manager spot.
331
00:24:10,111 --> 00:24:11,431
SCHOLES'. He's well-trained for it.
332
00:24:11,511 --> 00:24:14,031
He's done his A license,
he's doing his Pro license.
333
00:24:14,111 --> 00:24:17,871
He's a very level-headed person
and nothing seems to phase him.
334
00:24:18,191 --> 00:24:21,271
I've not seen him ever come unstuck
335
00:24:21,351 --> 00:24:25,071
or been phased by pressure.
He's always on that same level.
336
00:24:25,151 --> 00:24:28,471
He always handles things really well,
he takes things in his stride.
337
00:24:28,551 --> 00:24:30,991
I think that is his greatest quality, Ryan,
338
00:24:31,071 --> 00:24:33,791
that he never changes
whatever the situation is.
339
00:24:44,791 --> 00:24:47,271
RYAN: I took the manager's job
without hesitation because
340
00:24:47,471 --> 00:24:50,071
I knew what good players
we had in the dressing room,
341
00:24:50,391 --> 00:24:53,071
and it was obviously a great chance for me.
342
00:24:53,831 --> 00:24:57,271
It was four games,
and there was nothing to lose
343
00:24:57,351 --> 00:25:00,671
and who turns the chance of
managing Manchester United down?
344
00:25:04,591 --> 00:25:06,591
FERGUSON: The great players
have a part to play,
345
00:25:06,671 --> 00:25:09,511
quite rightly they should be part
of the future of the club,
346
00:25:09,911 --> 00:25:13,671
and that delights me more than anything
and we've prepared them for that.
347
00:25:13,951 --> 00:25:16,671
We told them, "You've got to
get your coaching badges.
348
00:25:16,751 --> 00:25:18,831
"You've got to get through all that procedure
349
00:25:18,911 --> 00:25:22,551
"and prepare yourself for the biggest
challenge of your life, being a coach."
350
00:25:27,991 --> 00:25:29,671
(INAUDIBLE)
351
00:25:40,471 --> 00:25:44,031
RYAN'. From 8:30 till 10:30 it was crazy,
352
00:25:44,111 --> 00:25:47,031
and I was thinking, "What have I done?"
Putting pressure on yourself.
353
00:25:49,591 --> 00:25:53,151
I then spoke to the players
to tell them what's happening.
354
00:25:53,711 --> 00:25:57,831
(RYAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
355
00:26:01,831 --> 00:26:04,311
He's just got a presence,
you know, within a room.
356
00:26:04,391 --> 00:26:06,031
I don't know how you get that.
357
00:26:06,111 --> 00:26:09,591
I mean, Sir Alex had it in a huge way,
Giggsy's got it.
358
00:26:09,911 --> 00:26:11,591
Maybe it comes through greatness.
359
00:26:11,671 --> 00:26:14,791
Maybe that's just how you get it,
and he's certainly got that.
360
00:26:17,671 --> 00:26:21,151
RYAN: After I addressed the players,
my instant thoughts were
361
00:26:21,231 --> 00:26:25,391
I was inheriting a team that were
full of stars and full of quality.
362
00:26:25,551 --> 00:26:27,591
I've gotta try and prepare training.
363
00:26:29,551 --> 00:26:32,071
Of course I wanted as much help
as I could get,
364
00:26:32,151 --> 00:26:35,671
so Phil and Nicky were already here,
so I'd spoke to them
365
00:26:35,751 --> 00:26:39,231
and, yeah, obviously
I respect Scholesy as a player
366
00:26:39,311 --> 00:26:40,991
and as a person and I respect his view.
367
00:26:41,071 --> 00:26:43,911
I wanted to get him in as quickly as possible.
368
00:26:43,991 --> 00:26:47,351
SCHOLES: I'd sent him a message before
when I already heard about it,
369
00:26:47,431 --> 00:26:49,991
just wishing him good luck,
and five or ten minutes later
370
00:26:50,071 --> 00:26:53,991
he gave me a call to see
if I'd be interested in coming
371
00:26:54,231 --> 00:26:56,671
to training for a couple of weeks.
372
00:27:03,191 --> 00:27:06,631
I thought it was great when the class of '92
started getting back together.
373
00:27:06,751 --> 00:27:07,991
I thought it was brilliant.
374
00:27:08,071 --> 00:27:10,231
It was like one of the great bands reforming.
375
00:27:10,311 --> 00:27:12,631
You want to see them
go back on the road again.
376
00:27:12,711 --> 00:27:15,311
It was quite a staff team
they would have had there.
377
00:27:15,391 --> 00:27:17,431
I think it was just a reminder
that Manchester United
378
00:27:17,511 --> 00:27:20,951
had to go back to its roots and
go back to the dressing room greats
379
00:27:21,031 --> 00:27:24,231
to take them forward from
such a difficult period under David Moyes.
380
00:27:26,471 --> 00:27:28,951
Coming out and seeing Scholesy, Butty, Nev
381
00:27:29,111 --> 00:27:31,271
and Giggsy on the first day was...
382
00:27:31,711 --> 00:27:35,191
It was a pretty special sight, really.
383
00:27:48,071 --> 00:27:50,791
RYAN: The emphasis was on possession,
quick play,
384
00:27:50,871 --> 00:27:54,111
one and two touch,
get the sharpness in the legs,
385
00:27:55,231 --> 00:27:56,791
also a bit of fun.
386
00:27:58,591 --> 00:28:01,831
It was just a keep ball,
and no-one was giving the ball away.
387
00:28:02,311 --> 00:28:04,191
The ball didn't go out of play,
388
00:28:04,271 --> 00:28:06,351
and it was just brilliant to watch.
389
00:28:11,711 --> 00:28:16,231
I sat next to Butty and I went, "Butty, what
were we worried about? Have you seen this?"
390
00:28:16,711 --> 00:28:19,111
The quality of training
was absolutely brilliant.
391
00:28:20,511 --> 00:28:23,511
Short games, lots of goals, lots of shots
392
00:28:24,351 --> 00:28:26,311
and, yeah, the keepers weren't thanking me
393
00:28:26,391 --> 00:28:29,471
because some of the shots
that were going in I think even Rio scored.
394
00:28:29,551 --> 00:28:30,831
(ALL CHEERING)
395
00:28:36,471 --> 00:28:37,551
PHIL: You know, I keep hearing,
396
00:28:37,631 --> 00:28:40,871
"Ryan's not got much experience. The
coaching staff's not got much experience,"
397
00:28:40,951 --> 00:28:43,271
but in terms of Man United experience,
398
00:28:43,351 --> 00:28:46,511
I think that's important. I think
you got to know the fabric of the club.
399
00:28:46,591 --> 00:28:50,431
And we've probably got
over 100 years' experience of being involved
400
00:28:50,511 --> 00:28:53,711
at this football club, so it's
not as if we're all just best mates
401
00:28:53,791 --> 00:28:55,991
having a laugh.
We're all serious about our job.
402
00:28:56,071 --> 00:28:58,471
There's nobody more serious than Ryan.
403
00:29:00,071 --> 00:29:02,791
RIO FERDINAND: This is hard for a man.
He's just been in there as a teammate
404
00:29:02,871 --> 00:29:05,191
having a laugh with the lads,
joking and stuff, messing around,
405
00:29:05,271 --> 00:29:08,871
and has to really cut off from the rest of us
now and become a manager so quick,
406
00:29:08,951 --> 00:29:10,671
and then he's got to pick a team
and disappoint people
407
00:29:10,751 --> 00:29:12,031
that he's been teammates with.
408
00:29:12,111 --> 00:29:16,071
This period here will tell him whether he sees
a future in management for himself.
409
00:29:16,591 --> 00:29:18,871
Did he like it? Did he enjoy it?
410
00:29:18,951 --> 00:29:22,551
Did he feel he was good enough for it?
Did it whet his appetite?
411
00:29:22,631 --> 00:29:24,671
What I do and what I have done
is play football.
412
00:29:24,751 --> 00:29:28,751
That just comes naturally. This is not...
Well, it is out of my comfort zone,
413
00:29:28,951 --> 00:29:32,071
but it's just totally different,
and instantly you just
414
00:29:32,151 --> 00:29:36,311
feel differently. You're responsible
for so many other people.
415
00:29:37,031 --> 00:29:39,631
Not just the players, but the staff as well.
416
00:29:40,791 --> 00:29:42,351
- Pardon?
- MAN: What time do you leave tonight?
417
00:29:42,431 --> 00:29:43,471
- For the hotel?
- Yeah.
418
00:29:43,551 --> 00:29:47,271
Uh... At Old Trafford at 6:30.
419
00:29:47,911 --> 00:29:50,231
Honestly, I thought,
"He's going to hate this now,
420
00:29:50,311 --> 00:29:52,351
-"5:00 finish."
- Yeah, I know.
421
00:29:52,431 --> 00:29:54,151
Might as well stay till 8:00.
422
00:29:58,191 --> 00:30:00,951
I had respect for mangers before,
but managers who've been
423
00:30:01,031 --> 00:30:03,631
in the game years and years,
you can just see what...
424
00:30:04,071 --> 00:30:08,351
The hassles that they have to
put up with, but also you see why
425
00:30:08,431 --> 00:30:11,351
they keep coming back, because
of the enjoyment of going out
426
00:30:11,431 --> 00:30:16,111
onto the training pitch,
the different feelings that you have,
427
00:30:17,151 --> 00:30:19,511
but it's a tough, tough job.
428
00:30:20,311 --> 00:30:21,991
And that's after four days.
429
00:30:23,271 --> 00:30:26,231
No, that was my media briefing.
430
00:30:29,071 --> 00:30:32,991
This is all the stats on the last
five games, who's been involved,
431
00:30:33,551 --> 00:30:35,511
who's not been.
432
00:30:36,271 --> 00:30:38,151
This is the schedule
433
00:30:39,151 --> 00:30:42,831
of the training sessions from one
of the seasons and the pre-season.
434
00:30:43,511 --> 00:30:46,871
It feels better to be this side rather than
the other side. I've had a few bollockings
435
00:30:46,951 --> 00:30:52,271
the other side, so... No, to be fair,
Sir Alex was always OK with me here.
436
00:30:52,791 --> 00:30:54,271
It was more the Cliff.
437
00:30:54,551 --> 00:30:57,471
He never escaped because
he was such a great player,
438
00:30:58,111 --> 00:31:01,151
and when he made mistakes
or he had a bad game or whatever,
439
00:31:01,671 --> 00:31:05,351
I never believe in letting things pass.
440
00:31:06,311 --> 00:31:08,751
It's about carrying an expectation.
441
00:31:14,871 --> 00:31:20,351
Just like to go on record to thank David
for giving me my first chance in coaching.
442
00:31:21,031 --> 00:31:24,591
It's something that I'll always remember.
Secondly, I would just like to say
443
00:31:24,671 --> 00:31:28,031
how proud I am to be managing the club
that I've supported
444
00:31:28,111 --> 00:31:30,751
all my life and I've been associated with for
445
00:31:31,311 --> 00:31:35,951
25, 26 years, so it's probably
the proudest moment of my career.

I know the fans will be behind us.

I know the players can't wait,
I know my staff can't wait.
449
00:31:45,591 --> 00:31:47,231
And I can't wait. I just want it to come.
450
00:31:51,751 --> 00:31:53,791

454
00:32:04,351 --> 00:32:05,671
but most of all, enjoy it.

what I can do,
what I'm capable of as a manager

Ten players for seven places.
469

So three are going to miss out,
which, on your first game...
470

The thing is, there's no player
who deserves to miss out.

right, what's the subs going to be?

and just, yeah, chillskies.
488
00:33:59,911 --> 00:34:04,151
Most of the hard work's done now
and, yeah, it's just the little details
489
00:34:07,391 --> 00:34:09,071
I'll do tomorrow, and then we're all set.
490
00:34:13,471 --> 00:34:17,111
SCHOLES: He's played for 20-odd years
at the top level, he's won more
491
00:34:17,191 --> 00:34:19,871
trophies than anybody.
As a coach, as a manager
492
00:34:20,671 --> 00:34:23,671
he will know exactly what he wants
from his players throughout the week
493
00:34:24,631 --> 00:34:27,431
to then be ready to perform on the Saturday.
494
00:34:29,991 --> 00:34:32,031
Can just see Old Trafford in the distance.
495
00:34:56,071 --> 00:34:59,391
Yeah, little bit nervous.
It's good to be nervous.
496
00:35:27,911 --> 00:35:30,911
WINTER: There was a great moment
about an hour and a half before
497
00:35:30,991 --> 00:35:33,751
the Norwich game,
when the Manchester United coach pulled up,
498
00:35:33,831 --> 00:35:37,511
Ryan Giggs walked off the coach
shaking hands with
499
00:35:37,591 --> 00:35:40,471
everyone, beaming. He really
looked a Manchester United manager.
500
00:35:40,551 --> 00:35:42,831
He had the blazer on. You thought,
"Ooh, Manchester United,
501
00:35:42,911 --> 00:35:43,991
"we're back in good hands again."
502
00:35:44,471 --> 00:35:45,791
(INAUDIBLE)
503
00:35:47,551 --> 00:35:50,071
I've commentated on most of the trophy lifts
504
00:35:50,151 --> 00:35:54,311
in his 13 Premier League titles,
and each time it's like a sharp intake
505
00:35:54,391 --> 00:35:56,711
of breath, check your notes,
"Is it really that many?
506
00:35:56,791 --> 00:35:59,351
"Has he really won that many?"
But of course he has. Played nearly 1,000
507
00:35:59,431 --> 00:36:02,751
games for the club, and I wish
him well. I hope he manages
508
00:36:02,831 --> 00:36:05,751
1,000 games for the club.
I do subscribe to the view that
509
00:36:06,631 --> 00:36:09,271
Ryan and the other lads from '92, '93
510
00:36:09,511 --> 00:36:11,751
have a great part to play
in the future of the club,
511
00:36:11,831 --> 00:36:13,551
I really do. I can see that happening.
512
00:36:15,951 --> 00:36:17,911
RYAN: Saturday was a long day,
513
00:36:17,991 --> 00:36:20,391
and it's all the stuff that managers have to do.
514
00:36:20,471 --> 00:36:22,271
You have to choose a player to
go and speak to the press,
515
00:36:22,351 --> 00:36:25,031
you have to do your own press stuff,
you name the team.
516
00:36:25,711 --> 00:36:28,391
And then it was a long hour,
517
00:36:28,471 --> 00:36:33,151
because normally I'm out there warming up,
preparing for the game.
518
00:36:33,231 --> 00:36:35,231
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
519
00:37:02,631 --> 00:37:06,151
I'm immensely proud.
Obviously, the four of us have
520
00:37:06,351 --> 00:37:09,831
played since the age of 12,13,14,
and for Ryan to be manager,
521
00:37:09,911 --> 00:37:12,831
it's an incredible privilege for him.
522
00:37:13,191 --> 00:37:15,591
How many people manage
Manchester United? Not many.
523
00:37:17,951 --> 00:37:20,191
RYAN: I promised myself that
once I'd done my team talk,
524
00:37:20,271 --> 00:37:24,391
that would be it. I'd let them prepare
on their own, and let them go out
525
00:37:24,471 --> 00:37:26,631
and play and just leave it to them.
526
00:37:27,311 --> 00:37:31,231
Come in from the warm-up, and
I just felt like I had to say something.
527
00:37:31,591 --> 00:37:33,911
I said, "Just sit down, give me two minutes."
528
00:37:33,991 --> 00:37:37,271
I just told them what quality
they had in the dressing room.
529
00:37:37,351 --> 00:37:40,511
"You're brilliant players,
believe in yourself, go out and enjoy it."
530
00:37:41,071 --> 00:37:43,031
It's been a crap season, a frustrating season,
531
00:37:43,271 --> 00:37:46,391
we've all felt it. Give these
fans something to go away
532
00:37:46,471 --> 00:37:48,351
in the summer cheering about.
533
00:37:49,311 --> 00:37:50,911
And, uh...
534
00:37:51,311 --> 00:37:52,631
Most of all, enjoy it.
535
00:38:00,591 --> 00:38:02,951
Manchester United don't play friendly games.
536
00:38:03,311 --> 00:38:05,831
There's just not a thing called friendly games.
537
00:38:05,911 --> 00:38:07,311
Everyone wants to beat them.
538
00:38:18,551 --> 00:38:21,671
RYAN: If you're playing or if you sub,
you're son' of in the zone.
539
00:38:21,751 --> 00:38:23,911
You're preparing yourself for the game.
540
00:38:24,951 --> 00:38:27,471
As a manager, it's out of your hands.
541
00:38:29,351 --> 00:38:32,031
You've done all you can,
and there's not a lot you can do now.
542
00:38:33,191 --> 00:38:35,071
So it was a nervous walk.
543
00:38:39,111 --> 00:38:41,591
(CROWD CHEERING)
544
00:38:54,311 --> 00:38:57,311
(APPLAUDING)
545
00:39:14,471 --> 00:39:17,591
The ovation that I got was just...
546
00:39:17,671 --> 00:39:19,071
Yeah, it was goose bumps,
547
00:39:19,151 --> 00:39:21,911
and it was a moment
that I'll never, ever forget.
548
00:39:29,911 --> 00:39:34,831
It was weird to see Giggsy
walk out in the blazer as manager.
549
00:39:35,111 --> 00:39:37,471
I was proud. Playing
for Man United the amount of
550
00:39:37,551 --> 00:39:41,151
times that he's done,
being loved by the fans like he's loved,
551
00:39:41,231 --> 00:39:43,831
and then walking out when he's 40 years old,
552
00:39:44,071 --> 00:39:46,511
getting the reaction that
he's got from the fans.
553
00:39:46,791 --> 00:39:48,351
You could see him get choked up.
554
00:39:48,431 --> 00:39:50,911
And that was a special moment.
555
00:39:51,231 --> 00:39:53,431
It was the proudest moment of
my career, without a shadow of
556
00:39:53,511 --> 00:39:56,511
a doubt, because of
the reception that I got and
557
00:39:56,991 --> 00:39:59,311
the excitement around
the ground and the buzz,
558
00:39:59,591 --> 00:40:02,191
and I just couldn't then
wait for the game to start.
559
00:40:02,751 --> 00:40:04,151
(WHISTLE BLOWING)
560
00:40:09,831 --> 00:40:12,271
I don't know if it was all the emotion,
and maybe we trained
561
00:40:12,351 --> 00:40:15,751
a little bit too much during the week
that it was a bit of a slow start.
562
00:40:21,511 --> 00:40:23,951
It was half-time,
and all I said to the players was,
563
00:40:25,111 --> 00:40:26,511
"You're playing too slow.
564
00:40:26,591 --> 00:40:28,471
"Every time you play quick,
you look like you're gonna score.
565
00:40:28,551 --> 00:40:30,751
"You look like you're gonna do something,
so quicken the tempo up.
566
00:40:31,071 --> 00:40:34,511
"Take one or two touches
on the ball and we'll be OK."
567
00:40:36,791 --> 00:40:38,951
(CHEERING)
568
00:40:39,791 --> 00:40:42,231
I wanted them to press Norwich
and get the crowd up.
569
00:40:42,431 --> 00:40:44,951
I also picked a team where
the subs could have an impact
570
00:40:45,031 --> 00:40:47,071
if it went well,
and it couldn't have gone any better.
571
00:40:47,631 --> 00:40:51,671
I brought Juan on, and Chicha,
Ash as well, and they all made an impact.
572
00:40:52,991 --> 00:40:55,551
It was great to see, because it wasn't easy
573
00:40:55,631 --> 00:40:57,631
leaving players of that quality out.
574
00:40:59,831 --> 00:41:01,351
(CROWD CHEERING)
575
00:41:11,031 --> 00:41:13,831
WINTER: I could understand the euphoria
after the Norwich game.
576
00:41:13,911 --> 00:41:16,191
It was just good to see Manchester United
get their swagger back.
577
00:41:16,871 --> 00:41:18,111
Thank you, cheers.
578
00:41:21,271 --> 00:41:23,791
RYAN: If you saw us after the first game
against Norwich in the office
579
00:41:23,871 --> 00:41:25,831
after the game, we were shattered.
We were shattered
580
00:41:25,911 --> 00:41:28,431
emotionally because it was
a big moment for all four of us.
581
00:41:28,511 --> 00:41:29,631
We had to deliver.
582
00:41:31,031 --> 00:41:33,551
No, I'm just so knackered,
honestly. lt's just, uh...
583
00:41:33,631 --> 00:41:34,791
(YAWNS)
584
00:41:34,871 --> 00:41:36,311
It's a tough job.
585
00:41:36,671 --> 00:41:39,471
And I've got, obviously,
massive respect for any manager
586
00:41:39,551 --> 00:41:41,191
because I haven't seen the other side
587
00:41:41,271 --> 00:41:43,751
like I have this week. It's rewarding,
588
00:41:43,831 --> 00:41:46,671
it's hard, it's time-consuming.
589
00:41:47,871 --> 00:41:48,911
You're always
590
00:41:49,271 --> 00:41:51,751
having to think of things.
You're always constantly thinking,
591
00:41:51,831 --> 00:41:53,071
"What have I forgot?"
592
00:41:53,151 --> 00:41:55,311
And you need help in this position.
593
00:41:55,831 --> 00:41:58,791
Obviously, like I say,
I've just been in it five days.
594
00:42:03,511 --> 00:42:06,871
Yeah, I walked into George's, got a round
of applause and a standing ovation.

(APPLAUDING)
596
00:42:10,751 --> 00:42:13,551
I think they were expecting a free round,
which they were never gonna get.
597
00:42:14,471 --> 00:42:16,391
But, no, it was great. I had a beer and
598
00:42:16,471 --> 00:42:18,951
just relaxed with my family and friends.
599
00:42:28,991 --> 00:42:30,991
- This looks good, you and the cake.
-(LAUGHING)
600
00:42:31,671 --> 00:42:34,231
It's a Mother's Day cake that
didn't go down very well yesterday.
601
00:42:34,311 --> 00:42:37,751
Nobody had any but myself for Mother's Day.
602
00:42:39,991 --> 00:42:42,111
That's like we didn't get her anything.
603
00:42:42,511 --> 00:42:44,591
- Yeah, exactly, yeah.
- I didn't say anything.
604
00:42:45,431 --> 00:42:47,991
- When we went to a lot of trouble, didn't we?
- Yeah, we did.
605
00:42:48,391 --> 00:42:49,871
Go and get the card.
606
00:42:50,151 --> 00:42:51,751
No, don't get the card.
607
00:42:54,831 --> 00:42:56,431
- Why not?
- I think Ryan goes through
608
00:42:56,511 --> 00:42:58,711
his phone and looks for the worst pictures,
609
00:42:59,311 --> 00:43:01,951
and then thinks, "I'll use that one."
Me sleeping.
610
00:43:02,031 --> 00:43:04,951
- On Mother's Day?
- No, you can't.

(RYAN LAUGHING)
612
00:43:06,751 --> 00:43:09,751
Stacey's always been supportive toward me,
613
00:43:11,591 --> 00:43:14,191
and hasn't got a clue about football
and she doesn't care.
614
00:43:14,271 --> 00:43:17,271
She doesn't want to know
anything about football,
615
00:43:18,151 --> 00:43:19,311
which is good.
616
00:43:24,351 --> 00:43:25,791
Wouldn't have it any other way.
617
00:43:26,631 --> 00:43:28,671
STACEY: I was up at the lodge with my cousin
618
00:43:28,871 --> 00:43:30,551
and he walked through the door
and he just said,
619
00:43:30,631 --> 00:43:32,311
"I'm going to be the manager,"
620
00:43:33,271 --> 00:43:34,751
and we both laughed.
621
00:43:34,831 --> 00:43:37,511
We went, "Really? Are you taking the mick?"
622
00:43:37,591 --> 00:43:39,391
And he was like, "No, no, seriously."
623
00:43:41,271 --> 00:43:46,071
How can he be a manager?
He's a player. It's such a big role to do.
624
00:43:47,031 --> 00:43:49,191
I did worry a little bit because I just thought,
625
00:43:49,271 --> 00:43:51,231
"Oh, God, here we go,
all the pressure, stress."
626
00:43:52,311 --> 00:43:54,911
But, to be fair, it hasn't been that bad.
627
00:43:54,991 --> 00:43:57,991
The only change is, he's not sat on his arse
watching telly all afternoon.
628
00:43:58,631 --> 00:44:01,591
RYAN: I have a little two hours where,
or I used to anyway,
629
00:44:01,671 --> 00:44:04,311
anyway, just get home
from training, you relax.
630
00:44:04,391 --> 00:44:07,511
Just put my feet up. I like my TV programmes,
a bit of escapism,
631
00:44:07,591 --> 00:44:10,751
-but I also like my quizzes.
- You're just like, "Shut up.
632
00:44:10,871 --> 00:44:15,511
"Eggheads is on, or the Chase.
The Chase is on, be quiet."
633
00:44:16,191 --> 00:44:19,071
Then you answer all the questions,
and get them all right,
634
00:44:19,151 --> 00:44:22,751
and then you get one wrong
and you go, "Oh!"
635
00:44:22,871 --> 00:44:25,471
RYAN: Well, I'm trying to broaden
my horizons. I like quiz shows.
636
00:44:25,591 --> 00:44:27,631
I forgot about The Chase and Eggheads.

-"Light up my world," you're right.
641
00:44:40,431 --> 00:44:42,871
Might write in to One Direction,
ask if they'll change it.
642
00:44:42,951 --> 00:44:44,031
Why?
643
00:44:44,191 --> 00:44:45,791
Because I think mine are better, my lines.
644
00:44:45,871 --> 00:44:48,591
Really? Really, Daddy? Really?
645
00:44:48,871 --> 00:44:51,631
Coming home to Stace and the kids
has always been
646
00:44:51,711 --> 00:44:53,951
sort of escapism, really, from
647
00:44:54,751 --> 00:44:59,431
the pressures or the disappointments
or even bringing you back down to Earth.
648
00:44:59,911 --> 00:45:02,831
It's always the place where
all these things happen.

650
00:45:15,751 --> 00:45:19,671
Away from the spotlight,
that's your safe haven and
651
00:45:21,951 --> 00:45:24,431
the place where you just feel comfortable
652
00:45:24,511 --> 00:45:27,271
and relaxed
no matter what's happening in football.
653
00:45:27,911 --> 00:45:29,271
They've been watching the whole game,
654
00:45:29,351 --> 00:45:31,991
and she's so proud.
She's like really, really proud.
655
00:45:32,071 --> 00:45:33,751
- Yeah.
- But she went...
656
00:45:34,511 --> 00:45:35,871
She was telling you to take somebody off.
657
00:45:35,951 --> 00:45:37,031
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
658
00:45:37,111 --> 00:45:39,031
She went, "Will he have his phone?"
659
00:45:39,111 --> 00:45:41,671
So I went, "No, no, no, he won't have it.
You can't do that."
660
00:45:41,751 --> 00:45:45,191
"Take such and such off, and
such and such ended up scoring two goals."
661
00:45:45,271 --> 00:45:46,391
Yeah.
662
00:45:46,911 --> 00:45:48,391
So she won't make a manager.
663
00:45:53,031 --> 00:45:55,351
RYAN: For 20 years, Sir Alex used to say,
664
00:45:55,431 --> 00:45:57,711
"Wait until all you lot are managers
and you'll find out
665
00:45:57,791 --> 00:46:00,271
"how hard it is to pick a team,
to leave good players out,"
666
00:46:00,951 --> 00:46:02,911
and I was just sat there going,
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever."
667
00:46:03,911 --> 00:46:06,271
You know, it's like having your first baby.
668
00:46:06,991 --> 00:46:08,831
You can prep as much as you can,
669
00:46:09,071 --> 00:46:10,951
but until it comes down to actually
670
00:46:11,031 --> 00:46:13,431
living it, day in, day out,
you can never prepare for it.
671
00:46:14,071 --> 00:46:17,751
I said last week that I was
gonna start training on the Monday,
672
00:46:20,471 --> 00:46:26,311
but it was actually Nicky, Nicky Butt come
into the office Monday morning and said,
673
00:46:26,791 --> 00:46:29,431
"I think it's a good idea
if you don't train this week."
674
00:46:31,271 --> 00:46:32,951
And I went, "What do you mean?"
675
00:46:33,031 --> 00:46:35,111
And he went, "No, I think
676
00:46:36,351 --> 00:46:38,991
"it's better if you're just seen
out there as the leader,
677
00:46:39,071 --> 00:46:43,271
"and you're not getting involved in training.
678
00:46:44,031 --> 00:46:46,231
"Say one of the players kicks you,
and you react."
679
00:46:47,831 --> 00:46:51,111
it was a really good point, so I stood away
680
00:46:53,351 --> 00:46:55,231
and really have just been a manager,
681
00:46:55,311 --> 00:46:58,711
rather than a player, which I expected to be,
682
00:47:00,231 --> 00:47:02,031
so it was good advice and
683
00:47:02,951 --> 00:47:04,551
definitely the right thing to do.
684
00:47:20,551 --> 00:47:21,911
Morning.
685
00:47:55,951 --> 00:47:57,111
Get changed now,
686
00:47:57,191 --> 00:48:00,711
and then just going for breakfast.
Porridge, scrambled eggs,
687
00:48:00,791 --> 00:48:03,071
toast, orange juice, coffee.
688
00:48:03,511 --> 00:48:05,951
Big breakfast. Big day.
689
00:48:07,991 --> 00:48:10,831
You win the lottery every day when
you're coming training at a place like this.
690
00:48:10,911 --> 00:48:12,831
The facilities are great, the people are great,
691
00:48:12,951 --> 00:48:14,271
the challenge is there,
692
00:48:14,351 --> 00:48:16,471
and it's a great place to come in and work.
693
00:48:17,191 --> 00:48:19,671
Can you see them? Where are they?
Butt, Scholes, Giggs, where are they?
694
00:48:19,751 --> 00:48:21,151
Where are they?
695
00:48:21,231 --> 00:48:23,911
They're up there having
a cup of tea, a cappuccino and a latte.
696
00:48:24,471 --> 00:48:26,031
RYAN: Phil,
even though he's had a great career,
697
00:48:26,111 --> 00:48:28,751
I think he was born to be a coach.
698
00:48:28,991 --> 00:48:34,191
His knowledge, his enthusiasm.
And he has been brilliant for me.
699
00:48:36,311 --> 00:48:39,271
I would sort of say what I wanted,
and he was the voice
700
00:48:39,551 --> 00:48:42,311
on the training pitch, and he would put up
701
00:48:42,631 --> 00:48:45,191
the session plan, "Right,
how can we get the best of that?"
702
00:48:45,991 --> 00:48:48,311
We've all got the same views
of how we want this Man United team
703
00:48:48,391 --> 00:48:50,431
to play, and it probably dates back to when
704
00:48:50,511 --> 00:48:53,791
we was players here and
the styles that we were brought up on.
705
00:48:54,431 --> 00:48:59,111
You know, fast-attacking football,
energy, spirit, togetherness.
706
00:49:03,391 --> 00:49:08,151
Nicky's the lad who brings,
obviously, his experience, his know-how,
707
00:49:08,231 --> 00:49:10,871
but he's also that sort of soundboard
708
00:49:10,951 --> 00:49:13,351
a manager has,
where you know you can trust him.
709
00:49:13,471 --> 00:49:15,951
He'll tell me, without even hesitation,
710
00:49:16,271 --> 00:49:18,911
if I'm talking rubbish
or I've not done something right.
711
00:49:19,791 --> 00:49:22,031
BUTT: We're all stepping up
to these new roles.
712
00:49:22,111 --> 00:49:24,231
It's been really refreshing, really nice.
713
00:49:24,311 --> 00:49:25,831
It's enjoyable for me.
714
00:49:27,351 --> 00:49:30,671
Boys, we know each other
like brothers, really, so it's quite
715
00:49:30,751 --> 00:49:32,511
easy to work together.
716
00:49:32,591 --> 00:49:35,071
RYAN: Scholesy is my favourite player.
I just loved
717
00:49:36,031 --> 00:49:38,711
playing with Scholesy. He was
just an intelligent player and
718
00:49:39,111 --> 00:49:41,471
just a joy to play with and to train with.
719
00:49:42,391 --> 00:49:43,511
SCHOLES: These last two or three weeks
720
00:49:43,791 --> 00:49:46,311
have probably been some of the most
enjoyable times I've had
721
00:49:46,391 --> 00:49:48,431
even as a footballer,
722
00:49:48,511 --> 00:49:51,871
seeing all the players getting involved
with the boxes, the possession,
723
00:49:51,951 --> 00:49:54,711
just basically being out there
kicking a ball again.
724
00:49:55,791 --> 00:49:58,151
RYAN: Your ideal week would be
coming to training Monday,
725
00:49:58,351 --> 00:50:00,871
getting ready for the game Saturday.
So you've got
726
00:50:00,951 --> 00:50:02,791
a clear plan for that week.
727
00:50:03,151 --> 00:50:06,431
Prepare training, get the best
out of the players physically
728
00:50:07,191 --> 00:50:09,111
early on in the week, possession games,
729
00:50:09,191 --> 00:50:12,191
speed training with a bit of
shooting maybe involved,
730
00:50:12,791 --> 00:50:15,431
and then towards the game,
just taper down a little bit
731
00:50:16,471 --> 00:50:18,631
and then also you might want
to do something tactically.
732
00:50:20,671 --> 00:50:23,071
Just a quick one,
you've got a meeting at 10:00.
733
00:50:23,351 --> 00:50:25,671
Can I have five minutes, just
to give the lads the programmes
734
00:50:25,751 --> 00:50:27,391
because it's a bit different this year?
735
00:50:27,511 --> 00:50:30,391
Well, can you do a couple of laps
with the lads?
736
00:50:31,471 --> 00:50:33,271
Couple of box-to-boxes.
737
00:50:33,511 --> 00:50:36,231
RYAN: It's a team effort,
so you rely on the sports scientist.
738
00:50:36,311 --> 00:50:38,551
Did the training that you just put on
739
00:50:38,951 --> 00:50:40,071
get what you wanted?
740
00:50:40,231 --> 00:50:41,751
And then when you watch the videos,
741
00:50:41,831 --> 00:50:43,991
obviously you need to rely on the analysts.
742
00:50:58,591 --> 00:51:00,471
It's a great place to come in and work,
743
00:51:00,551 --> 00:51:03,151
and I've been lucky enough
to do it for a long, long time.
744
00:51:03,391 --> 00:51:04,551
It's brilliant.
745
00:51:05,991 --> 00:51:07,831
- Hi, you OK? Good to see you.
- Hi. Good, thanks. Yeah.

- Cheers.

DIRECTOR: OK, so the first three
are in Thai, written phonetically.
749
00:51:15,711 --> 00:51:16,911
OK.
750
00:51:17,231 --> 00:51:21,271
Do the "Y" gesture as well. That's perfect.
751
00:51:22,431 --> 00:51:24,071
OK. (SPEAKING THAI)

(RYAN SPEAKING)
757
00:51:46,111 --> 00:51:49,511
My autographs get shorter
the more things you sign.
758
00:51:50,351 --> 00:51:52,991
It starts off long,
and then gets shorter and shorter.
759
00:51:57,311 --> 00:51:59,391
Did you do this on the last appearance?
760
00:51:59,671 --> 00:52:01,631
- Can you sign each of these, please?
- OK. Yeah.
761
00:52:06,711 --> 00:52:09,831
RYAN: It's a lot harder, usually...
Not harder, but a lot longer when you do
762
00:52:10,391 --> 00:52:14,031
different things. It can just vary, really.
763
00:52:15,271 --> 00:52:17,991
- Twelps. Twelps.
- Right, then. Hi.
764
00:52:18,511 --> 00:52:20,511
- Nightmare.
-It's a nightmare?
765
00:52:20,591 --> 00:52:21,631
Yeah.
766
00:52:21,711 --> 00:52:23,911
- It's easy to camera, isn't it?
- Yeah, but it's hard.
767
00:52:23,991 --> 00:52:25,631
Why? Is it a different language?
768
00:52:25,711 --> 00:52:27,111
-It's in Thai.
- Oh, is it in Thai?
769
00:52:27,191 --> 00:52:30,431
RYAN: Chinese, Japanese.
I've been here an hour, mate.
770
00:52:31,151 --> 00:52:32,871
- No, you have not.
-l have.
771
00:52:35,231 --> 00:52:37,311
You know me, I love the club.
772
00:52:38,431 --> 00:52:39,791
Is it difficult though, really?
773
00:52:39,951 --> 00:52:41,191
No.
774
00:52:43,551 --> 00:52:45,671
Under pressure.
You can't handle the pressure well.
775
00:52:45,751 --> 00:52:46,871
(LAUGHING)
776
00:53:01,111 --> 00:53:03,711
RYAN: It's been a good week.
The training's been sharp again.
777
00:53:03,791 --> 00:53:06,071
I've got the headache of picking the team
778
00:53:06,151 --> 00:53:07,711
and leaving players out,
779
00:53:08,191 --> 00:53:11,151
and sometimes you haven't got
an excuse for leaving players out.
780
00:53:11,591 --> 00:53:17,311
There's just too many players, and it's
another thing that I'm finding tough to do,
781
00:53:17,391 --> 00:53:18,791
but it's gotta be done.
782
00:53:23,111 --> 00:53:26,311
Yeah, I mean, he's got a brilliant reputation,
783
00:53:26,391 --> 00:53:29,951
a successful manager,
but my main concentration is
784
00:53:30,511 --> 00:53:33,751
on Sunderland tomorrow and then,
after that, the remaining two games.
785
00:53:34,071 --> 00:53:37,151
I've got a lot to think about.
I'm still in the frame of
786
00:53:37,911 --> 00:53:40,111
maybe playing,
see how the team perform tomorrow
787
00:53:40,191 --> 00:53:42,071
and, like I say, see if I can get in.
788
00:53:42,151 --> 00:53:44,831
But my main priority is winning the games.
789
00:53:45,711 --> 00:53:49,031
And is it me playing? Is that
what gives us the best chance? We'll see.
790
00:53:58,711 --> 00:54:03,191
Every morning this week...
Well, Wednesday, Thursday,
791
00:54:05,551 --> 00:54:07,711
I've been driving into training,
792
00:54:07,791 --> 00:54:10,311
and I'll ring Cameron.
I'll ring Cameron every morning
793
00:54:10,391 --> 00:54:12,711
and he'll go, "Right, what you doing?
What you doing? Careful.
794
00:54:12,791 --> 00:54:14,831
"What you doing this morning?
What you doing in training?"
795
00:54:14,911 --> 00:54:16,871
"I'm doing this, I'm doing that."
796
00:54:16,951 --> 00:54:20,191
"Do you realise you're manager
of the biggest club in the world?
797
00:54:20,271 --> 00:54:22,751
"I don't think...
I don't think you realise, do you?"
798
00:54:22,831 --> 00:54:25,671
"Thanks, Cameron." I'm just like...
799
00:54:25,751 --> 00:54:28,751
I'm calm. I'm going into training,
all things are going through my mind.
800
00:54:28,831 --> 00:54:31,271
"I don't need this pressure, Cameron, please,
do not say that again."
801
00:54:31,351 --> 00:54:33,911
The next day, he says exactly the same thing.
802
00:54:47,751 --> 00:54:52,591
Just reviewed the scouting report
of Sunderland.
803
00:54:52,671 --> 00:54:55,351
Just finishing touches, really.
804
00:54:55,431 --> 00:54:57,871
I've got the team, I know the subs,
805
00:54:57,951 --> 00:54:59,871
so, yeah, my mind's clear.
806
00:55:06,671 --> 00:55:08,511
Main focus is winning the game.
807
00:55:10,831 --> 00:55:12,711
When I took over it was give the group...
808
00:55:12,791 --> 00:55:16,951
...every player in the group a chance,
so that's what I'm doing.
809
00:55:22,271 --> 00:55:24,951
Just as a player I'll do my best
810
00:55:26,191 --> 00:55:28,151
to try and influence winning the game
811
00:55:28,231 --> 00:55:31,831
and, yeah, trust the players.
812
00:55:32,191 --> 00:55:35,191
I've done all the preparation during
the week and ready to go now,
813
00:55:35,271 --> 00:55:36,431
can't wait for 3:00.
814
00:55:43,551 --> 00:55:46,031
(CROWD CHEERING)
815
00:56:09,671 --> 00:56:12,991
RYAN'. Sunderland, you never underestimate
a team on a good run in good form.
816
00:56:13,071 --> 00:56:15,711
They've got the momentum
and they're fighting for their lives as well,
817
00:56:15,791 --> 00:56:18,671
so, in the end, they deserve the victory,
even though we were the better team,
818
00:56:18,751 --> 00:56:21,511
they probably created the better chances.
819
00:56:22,551 --> 00:56:25,151
The second game brought him
back down to earth with a bump,
820
00:56:25,231 --> 00:56:27,031
and I think he'll have
thought out of that game.
821
00:56:27,111 --> 00:56:28,911
That probably taught him more, that defeat.
822
00:56:28,991 --> 00:56:31,231
The defeat, I've not spoken to him about it,
but he probably learnt
823
00:56:31,311 --> 00:56:33,791
more from the defeat than he has done
maybe from the victories.
824
00:56:33,871 --> 00:56:35,511
RYAN: I was really,
really down after that game,
825
00:56:35,591 --> 00:56:38,671
and felt a little bit let down
by some of the players
826
00:56:38,751 --> 00:56:41,671
and just thought to myself,
827
00:56:42,471 --> 00:56:44,431
"That won't happen again."
828
00:57:00,231 --> 00:57:03,351
Just disappointed after
the performance last week.
829
00:57:03,791 --> 00:57:07,791
It was a little bit flat, had the end-of-season,
830
00:57:09,071 --> 00:57:13,551
nothing-to-play-for feel of a game,
which I didn't like.
831
00:57:14,231 --> 00:57:16,911
Maybe they just lost that little bit of intensity,
832
00:57:16,991 --> 00:57:20,391
and they do maybe see me
as just for four games.
833
00:57:22,471 --> 00:57:24,391
I made the decision not to train,
834
00:57:25,551 --> 00:57:28,351
maybe that's another decision
that I got wrong as well.
835
00:57:29,271 --> 00:57:32,951
As a manager the feeling
of defeat is a lot worse.
836
00:57:33,991 --> 00:57:35,391
A lot worse.
837
00:57:37,151 --> 00:57:39,711
STACEY: I did see a big change in him
the day after the Sunderland game.
838
00:57:39,791 --> 00:57:42,471
I just thought, you know, he was so down.
839
00:57:42,551 --> 00:57:44,191
And I said, "At the end of the day,
840
00:57:44,271 --> 00:57:46,231
"you can't put too much pressure
on yourself,"
841
00:57:47,391 --> 00:57:50,271
but he was gutted and really quiet,
which isn't like him
842
00:57:50,351 --> 00:57:51,631
because normally, you know,
if he has a bad game
843
00:57:51,711 --> 00:57:54,671
as soon as he walks through the door,
we've got the kids
844
00:57:54,791 --> 00:57:57,311
and we do stuff and it's left there,
845
00:57:57,831 --> 00:58:00,351
whereas this was kind of really still there.
846
00:58:13,071 --> 00:58:15,471
LYNNE JOHNSON: I was asked that question
yesterday, "Which is worse,
847
00:58:15,551 --> 00:58:18,031
"watching him as a manager
or watching him as a player?"
848
00:58:18,311 --> 00:58:20,271
And watching him as a manager is worse
849
00:58:20,431 --> 00:58:23,191
because I think as a player you've got
ten other people that could help,
850
00:58:23,591 --> 00:58:25,591
whereas it's all on his head.
851
00:58:26,151 --> 00:58:27,351
(EXCLAIMS)
852
00:58:29,111 --> 00:58:31,431
We prepared right, we knew that Sunderland
were gonna be a tough team
853
00:58:31,511 --> 00:58:33,631
because they were on a good run,
854
00:58:33,711 --> 00:58:37,511
and you just pick a team.
And what I did was, I picked a team that
855
00:58:37,711 --> 00:58:40,311
I thought could win the game,
and I trusted the players,
856
00:58:40,391 --> 00:58:42,991
and some of the players
857
00:58:44,231 --> 00:58:45,991
let me down and let themselves down.
858
00:58:46,831 --> 00:58:48,831
Maybe I was a little bit too soft.
859
00:58:48,911 --> 00:58:51,871
I don't care where you are
in the league and I don't care
860
00:58:51,951 --> 00:58:53,791
if the results have been going badly,
861
00:58:53,871 --> 00:58:56,151
if you step onto that pitch as a United player,
862
00:58:56,231 --> 00:59:00,951
you give it your all, and if you don't,
then you deserve not to play the next game.
863
00:59:07,271 --> 00:59:11,071
RYAN: I think I've always had a will to win.
864
00:59:12,791 --> 00:59:14,591
From an early age, I was used to winning,
865
00:59:14,671 --> 00:59:19,391
and it's that fear of losing
because you know losing is a much bigger
866
00:59:19,471 --> 00:59:20,831
emotion than winning.
867
00:59:20,911 --> 00:59:23,991
When you win, it's great,
but then it goes away.
868
00:59:24,271 --> 00:59:28,991
When you lose, it's not great,
but it doesn't go away for a long, long time.
869
00:59:31,311 --> 00:59:35,191
I've spoken to him.
He's now starting to have five-hour sleeps,
870
00:59:35,591 --> 00:59:38,271
so he's in the real world
with the other coaches
871
00:59:38,351 --> 00:59:40,911
and managers taking every sort of
little problem to bed with him,
872
00:59:40,991 --> 00:59:43,111
thinking about how
he's gonna leave players out.
873
00:59:43,191 --> 00:59:46,151
But he's got the clinical side
to be able to do that,
874
00:59:46,231 --> 00:59:48,551
he's got the temperament
to be able deal with that.
875
00:59:48,631 --> 00:59:51,231
As a manager you have to make big decisions,
876
00:59:51,311 --> 00:59:54,071
and obviously that's something
that all managers will tell you,
877
00:59:54,151 --> 00:59:56,671
and he is absolutely capable
of making big decisions.
878
00:59:58,271 --> 01:00:00,951
I was upset after the game,
but the longer it's gone on
879
01:00:01,031 --> 01:00:03,071
since I've just got angrier and angrier.
880
01:00:03,151 --> 01:00:07,751
I've slept less and less, and just can't have it.
Just can't have it.
881
01:00:08,551 --> 01:00:11,111
If any of them want to come and see me
and ask me why they're not playing,
882
01:00:11,191 --> 01:00:14,231
then I'll tell them, and I don't think
they'll have a leg to stand on.
883
01:00:14,711 --> 01:00:17,591
I mean, I was stood on the side
against Sunderland, just wishing
884
01:00:17,671 --> 01:00:20,071
I'd made myself sub,
so I could do something about it.
885
01:00:20,151 --> 01:00:23,431
I bet every manager thinks like that,
but I'm in a position
886
01:00:23,511 --> 01:00:28,311
where I'm still playing
and can still affect the game.
887
01:00:28,391 --> 01:00:31,591
I know he has said
the difficult part has been leaving players out,
888
01:00:31,671 --> 01:00:36,351
but he's hard enough to do that. He'll explain
889
01:00:36,431 --> 01:00:38,751
why he's left them out,
he won't just name a team
890
01:00:38,831 --> 01:00:41,431
and not tell players
why he's leaving them out.
891
01:00:41,511 --> 01:00:44,511
He'll do that, which I think is important.
892
01:00:44,671 --> 01:00:47,111
He's got a bit of a snap in him,
I can tell you that.
893
01:00:47,271 --> 01:00:49,111
I've seen that a few times.
894
01:00:51,071 --> 01:00:53,311
But I think that's just the mentality,
that makes him what he is,
895
01:00:53,391 --> 01:00:55,471
that desire to win.
896
01:01:27,311 --> 01:01:29,951
RYAN: I said from day one,
"Tell me your views
897
01:01:30,431 --> 01:01:32,031
"and be really straightforward."
898
01:01:32,111 --> 01:01:37,231
That's why I've got people who I know
and trust to give me honest opinions.
899
01:02:02,471 --> 01:02:05,311
I think the club's always been based around
bringing young players through
900
01:02:05,391 --> 01:02:06,751
and giving them a chance.
Nine times out of ten
901
01:02:06,831 --> 01:02:08,191
they have no fear
and they just go out and play
902
01:02:08,271 --> 01:02:10,711
like they're in the park,
and it injects enthusiasm,
903
01:02:10,831 --> 01:02:12,591
speed, you know, just a bit of happy energy
904
01:02:12,671 --> 01:02:14,271
around the place, really, and it's important
905
01:02:14,351 --> 01:02:16,631
that we continue that trend, and if it weren't
906
01:02:16,711 --> 01:02:19,871
for Sir Alex giving us our chance,
we probably wouldn't be here now.
907
01:02:23,831 --> 01:02:26,671
RYAN: I brought a few players
in from the younger teams
908
01:02:26,751 --> 01:02:29,111
to train with us,
and they didn't look out of place.
909
01:02:29,951 --> 01:02:33,591
I hadn't trained since that Tuesday
when I got told, and it's hard to.
910
01:02:33,671 --> 01:02:37,231
It's hard to train from getting in from at 7:30,
you're just non-stop,
911
01:02:37,311 --> 01:02:40,071
and then try and prepare yourself
for a training session at 10:30.
912
01:02:40,351 --> 01:02:43,151
It's hard, but, yeah,
I was determined to make sure that
913
01:02:43,231 --> 01:02:45,551
I was involved in the next game.
914
01:02:46,031 --> 01:02:48,351
When I trained on that... Monday, was it?
915
01:02:48,431 --> 01:02:50,271
Yeah, loved it, loved it.
916
01:02:50,671 --> 01:02:53,471
And bossed it as well,
boss trainer, so that was even better.
917
01:03:17,271 --> 01:03:20,031
RYAN: Yeah, training was always
the best pan' of the day for me
918
01:03:20,111 --> 01:03:22,351
because you know what it's like
after you've exercised,
919
01:03:22,431 --> 01:03:23,951
you just feel great.
920
01:03:24,111 --> 01:03:26,791
You know, you speak to ex-players
921
01:03:26,871 --> 01:03:28,511
and, "Do you still enjoy training?"
922
01:03:28,591 --> 01:03:30,111
Well, yeah, of course I do.
923
01:03:30,191 --> 01:03:33,191
And some of them maybe at the end didn't.
924
01:03:33,271 --> 01:03:36,711
I never, ever got to that point
where I don't wanna go out there.
925
01:03:36,791 --> 01:03:40,391
To be able to go
for 25 years at the highest level
926
01:03:40,471 --> 01:03:43,911
and be pretty successful at that
takes something special.
927
01:03:43,991 --> 01:03:46,911
It takes something
that not a lot of people have,
928
01:03:46,991 --> 01:03:50,231
and it takes something
that you have to dig down
929
01:03:50,311 --> 01:03:52,711
even more so towards
the latter part of your career
930
01:03:52,791 --> 01:03:54,431
than what you did in the beginning.
931
01:03:54,831 --> 01:03:58,071
When we'd send them off on a run,
there was Ryan
932
01:03:58,151 --> 01:04:00,311
away at the front, killing everyone.
933
01:04:00,391 --> 01:04:02,751
Robson was a great athlete, a great trainer.
934
01:04:03,471 --> 01:04:06,151
He used to warn him, "For Christ's sake,
you're showing us up."
935
01:04:06,911 --> 01:04:10,871
I've had my own little team
that's kept me going to 40.
936
01:04:10,951 --> 01:04:17,271
Sarah, yoga teacher. Philip Neil,
who's probably been the biggest part of that.
937
01:04:17,831 --> 01:04:19,071
- Feel the difference?
- Yeah, I can feel it.
938

You're killing me here.
943
01:05:48,911 --> 01:05:51,271
Yeah, I'll get through Saturday first,
and then think about that.
944
01:05:58,271 --> 01:06:00,071
Right. Cheers. Thanks, mate.
945
01:06:01,471 --> 01:06:02,871
Thanks, mate.
946
01:06:12,351 --> 01:06:13,631
Thanks.
947
01:06:15,391 --> 01:06:18,711
FERGUSON: He's an exception
in terms of an athlete in football
948
01:06:18,791 --> 01:06:22,711
that it's these great attributes of balance
949
01:06:23,191 --> 01:06:25,511
and weight and stamina,
950
01:06:25,591 --> 01:06:28,791
and that has allowed him to stay in the game
and play at 40 years of age.
951
01:06:28,911 --> 01:06:32,671
He's just a freak, really,
as an athlete, absolute freak.
952
01:06:48,711 --> 01:06:52,471
RYAN: Old Trafford is unique, just like
its name. It's the theatre of dreams.
953
01:06:54,671 --> 01:06:58,031
The roar of the crowd just makes you bigger,
makes you stronger
954
01:06:58,231 --> 01:07:00,271
when they're cheering your name.
955
01:07:00,791 --> 01:07:05,191
You want to do well for the fans
and you love it,
956
01:07:05,271 --> 01:07:09,711
you embrace it, you just
want them feelings to last forever.
957
01:07:40,231 --> 01:07:43,951
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
958
01:08:29,791 --> 01:08:32,711
RYAN'. Hull was...
Obviously watched Sunderland
959
01:08:32,791 --> 01:08:35,391
and pretty lacklustre performance,
960
01:08:35,791 --> 01:08:38,871
so I wanted to bring some energy,
I wanted to bring some freshness
961
01:08:38,951 --> 01:08:42,031
within the team and, yeah,
there was no hesitation in starting
962
01:08:42,111 --> 01:08:44,591
Tom Lawrence and James Wilson.
963
01:08:45,151 --> 01:08:50,111
What young players will do, they'll try things,
they'll do things that maybe players
964
01:08:50,191 --> 01:08:54,111
who aren't having a good time won't try,
so, yeah, I had no hesitation
965
01:08:54,191 --> 01:08:56,591
in throwing them in
and they didn't disappoint me.
966
01:09:00,671 --> 01:09:03,031
(CROWD CHEERING)
967
01:09:03,551 --> 01:09:06,871
You seen it, I celebrated
when Willo scored the first goal.
968
01:09:06,951 --> 01:09:10,551
We've all been there, we've all been there
as young players making the debut.
969
01:09:10,631 --> 01:09:12,591
It was a great moment.
970
01:09:13,151 --> 01:09:15,951
Started warming up at two-nil,
and then it went to two-one.
971
01:09:17,591 --> 01:09:20,511
No matter how many games you play,
if you get a great response off the fans,
972
01:09:20,591 --> 01:09:24,191
then it has an effect on you
and gives you that extra spring in your step.
973
01:09:26,511 --> 01:09:30,031
Yeah, there was a little bit in my head
that this could be the last time.
974
01:09:31,311 --> 01:09:33,511
But, no, I just felt good.
975
01:09:36,111 --> 01:09:38,391
I just went on and
976
01:09:38,471 --> 01:09:42,751
did what I do, really, and no different
than any other game that I'd approached.
977
01:10:12,391 --> 01:10:14,351
(CROWD CHEERING)
978
01:10:23,791 --> 01:10:25,631
CROWD: Oh!
979
01:10:27,711 --> 01:10:29,791
No, I would have liked
to have scored this season,
980
01:10:30,191 --> 01:10:32,591
but it wasn't to be.
981
01:10:34,231 --> 01:10:36,791
I'm chilled about it. There's no pressure.
982
01:10:38,631 --> 01:10:40,951
I would have loved to, yeah,
what am I talking about?
983
01:10:41,031 --> 01:10:43,591
I would have really, really loved to, but
984
01:10:44,191 --> 01:10:45,271
didn't happen.
985
01:10:53,231 --> 01:10:55,271
(APPLAUSE)
986
01:11:32,991 --> 01:11:34,951
LIBERTY: Daddy, who was man of the match?
987
01:11:35,031 --> 01:11:36,991
RYAN: Me.
STACEY: Serious, it was you?
988
01:11:37,071 --> 01:11:39,231
- RYAN: Was I heck.
-(STACEY LAUGHS)
989
01:11:40,031 --> 01:11:41,471
RYAN: Who do you think
should be man of the match?
990
01:11:41,551 --> 01:11:43,791
LIBERTY: That guy.
STACEY: That young lad.
991
01:11:43,871 --> 01:11:46,071
LIBERTY: That James person.
RYAN: Yeah, he did well.
992
01:11:46,151 --> 01:11:48,191
STACEY: Is he called Wilson?
RYAN: James Wilson, yeah.
993
01:11:48,271 --> 01:11:51,431
- Willo. Did well, didn't he?
- LIBERTY: Mmm-hmm.
994
01:11:52,191 --> 01:11:53,791
STACEY: Did really Well.
995
01:11:54,631 --> 01:11:56,871
LIBERTY: Everyone was worrying
because you put
996
01:11:56,951 --> 01:11:58,871
-two young players at the front.
- Were they?
997
01:11:58,951 --> 01:12:01,111
- Yeah.
- Was you worried?
998
01:12:01,951 --> 01:12:04,031
Well, Daddy was a young player
once upon a time,
999
01:12:04,111 --> 01:12:05,431
about ten years ago.
1000
01:12:05,511 --> 01:12:08,111
LIBERTY: No, not ten years ago, about like 25.
1001
01:12:09,031 --> 01:12:10,431
RYAN: Really?
LIBERTY: Yeah,
1002
01:12:10,511 --> 01:12:12,991
because you've been playing for 25 years.
1003
01:12:13,111 --> 01:12:15,711
RYAN: Why would you say that?
LIBERTY: Because it's true.
1004
01:12:17,991 --> 01:12:20,551
FERGUSON: The best moments
of your life are playing, no problem.
1005
01:12:20,631 --> 01:12:24,351
Coaching, whatever you ever do
after football does not compare
1006
01:12:24,431 --> 01:12:25,911
to playing a game of football.
1007
01:12:25,991 --> 01:12:30,751
Those cup final goals, the last goal,
the penalty kick in Moscow,
1008
01:12:31,071 --> 01:12:35,031
the great goal against Arsenal
can never be achieved again once you stop.
1009
01:12:44,471 --> 01:12:47,071
The biggest club of the world.
What do you know about...
1010
01:12:50,991 --> 01:12:52,111
INTERVIEWER: ...do you think?
1011
01:12:52,191 --> 01:12:55,831
It's not... You have to ask the club, not to me.
1012
01:13:25,831 --> 01:13:29,271
My stance isn't any different
from it was last week.
1013
01:13:29,351 --> 01:13:33,711
Obviously, there's huge speculation,
but nothing's been announced yet,
1014
01:13:33,791 --> 01:13:38,351
and my job is to prepare the team
for Southampton, so that's what I'll do.
1015
01:13:38,551 --> 01:13:41,911
I'm sure there'll be an announcement soon,
and then maybe I can comment on it then,
1016
01:13:41,991 --> 01:13:46,231
but at the moment it's just speculation,
so there's not a lot I can say.
1017
01:13:52,431 --> 01:13:55,751
Team today gonna have to work hard
because these work their bollocks off
1018
01:13:55,831 --> 01:13:58,431
and they're good at home,
but the team that we've got,
1019
01:13:58,511 --> 01:14:01,831
we've got experience, we've got pace,
we've got players who can...
1020
01:14:01,911 --> 01:14:03,271
Who are comfortable on the ball.
1021
01:14:04,391 --> 01:14:08,191
They do die at the end, so, subs,
1022
01:14:08,351 --> 01:14:11,911
you might come on and win the game,
so concentrate, watch the game.
1023
01:14:12,671 --> 01:14:16,071
But it's last game this season,
we want to end on a high.
1024
01:14:16,151 --> 01:14:18,511
We want to give our fans
something to shout about,
1025
01:14:18,631 --> 01:14:21,111
and City or Liverpool
are gonna win the league.
1026
01:14:24,151 --> 01:14:25,591
Give our fans something to shout about.
1027
01:14:25,671 --> 01:14:27,911
It's been a frustrating season,
but it's a good game
1028
01:14:27,991 --> 01:14:31,871
to play in and one that I'm looking forward to
because of the exciting players
1029
01:14:31,951 --> 01:14:34,351
that we've got on the pitch. OK?
1030
01:14:57,711 --> 01:15:01,991
Yeah, we got off the plane at Manchester
airport and I was saying goodbye
1031
01:15:02,071 --> 01:15:04,991
to the players, thanking them.
1032
01:15:06,631 --> 01:15:08,951
Like I say, potentially saying goodbye
1033
01:15:09,031 --> 01:15:12,511
to a lot of players for the last time,
a bit of staff.
1034
01:15:13,791 --> 01:15:15,631
And... (CHUCKLES)
1035
01:15:17,271 --> 01:15:19,551
I'm not an emotional... Well, not really.
I didn't think I was.
1036
01:15:19,631 --> 01:15:22,271
I'm not a really emotional person,
1037
01:15:22,351 --> 01:15:26,711
but my car was parked right outside
and I thought, "I need to get in my car here."
1038
01:15:29,551 --> 01:15:32,431
I could feel myself getting emotional.
1039
01:15:33,391 --> 01:15:35,351
So I get in my car,
1040
01:15:36,471 --> 01:15:39,631
and I just went, started crying, started
1041
01:15:42,071 --> 01:15:43,791
getting really emotional.
1042
01:15:44,351 --> 01:15:46,671
I think it was just
1043
01:15:48,431 --> 01:15:51,231
a mixture of what I've just said,
saying goodbye to people
1044
01:15:51,311 --> 01:15:55,151
for maybe the last time
and the pressure that I'd put myself under.
1045
01:15:55,991 --> 01:15:57,431
Sounds stupid now.
1046
01:15:57,591 --> 01:16:01,231
But it's just not me, just not me at all.
1047
01:16:01,631 --> 01:16:03,431
(CHUCKLES)
1048
01:16:03,511 --> 01:16:05,671
I come out of the airport
1049
01:16:06,111 --> 01:16:08,111
and I come at the light,
1050
01:16:09,391 --> 01:16:12,031
Nicky Butt's just pulled up next to me
and I'm thinking...
1051
01:16:12,271 --> 01:16:15,071
Fucking hell. I can't see Butty...
1052
01:16:15,271 --> 01:16:17,351
I can't let Butty know
that I've just been crying,
1053
01:16:17,591 --> 01:16:20,271
so I just give him a little wave
and just look the other way,
1054
01:16:21,071 --> 01:16:23,071
waiting for the lights to go green.
1055
01:16:23,711 --> 01:16:27,351
The new, but expected
management line-up has been announced
1056
01:16:27,431 --> 01:16:28,631
at Manchester United.
1057
01:16:28,711 --> 01:16:31,791
Louis van Gaal, currently the coach
of the Dutch National Team,
1058
01:16:31,871 --> 01:16:33,351
will replace David Moyes.
1059
01:16:33,431 --> 01:16:36,031
His assistant will be Ryan Giggs,
and with that appointment
1060
01:16:36,111 --> 01:16:38,551
the Premier League's
most decorated player announced
1061
01:16:38,631 --> 01:16:42,311
he is hanging up his boots
after 24 seasons with the club.
1062
01:16:42,471 --> 01:16:45,591
The meeting went really well.
I liked him instantly,
1063
01:16:46,551 --> 01:16:50,711
and I'm looking forward to working with him
and learning from him.
1064
01:16:50,791 --> 01:16:53,431
He's made a big decision,
I think it's a good one,
1065
01:16:53,951 --> 01:16:57,071
to continue as an assistant to Louis van Gaal.
1066
01:16:57,151 --> 01:16:58,911
He'll learn so much,
1067
01:16:58,991 --> 01:17:01,471
but Ryan Giggs has got a lot of
good ideas himself, as we saw
1068
01:17:01,551 --> 01:17:04,151
during those four games as caretaker.
1069
01:17:05,111 --> 01:17:07,831
RYAN: It's been a whirlwind
and I wouldn't change it for the world,
1070
01:17:07,911 --> 01:17:12,391
it was just a brilliant experience
and one that I thoroughly enjoyed
1071
01:17:12,471 --> 01:17:15,591
and will be all the better for
1072
01:17:16,511 --> 01:17:18,031
the next time it happens.
1073
01:17:18,751 --> 01:17:22,351
I had sad moments in there,
but, more often than not, happy moments.
1074
01:17:22,591 --> 01:17:23,791
Most of them happy, yeah.
1075
01:17:23,871 --> 01:17:27,511
Most of them celebrating the end of a season.
1076
01:17:27,871 --> 01:17:29,671
You come in,
1077
01:17:29,911 --> 01:17:31,671
get your towel,
1078
01:17:31,751 --> 01:17:33,951
cover your clothes in a towel
because you know that
1079
01:17:34,031 --> 01:17:36,671
the champagne's gonna be sprayed, so...
1080
01:17:36,751 --> 01:17:39,671
The experienced players,
as soon as they'd come in from the pitch,
1081
01:17:39,751 --> 01:17:42,911
they'd do that straight away.
The young lads would be,
1082
01:17:43,031 --> 01:17:45,271
who hadn't experienced it,
"What are they doing?"
1083
01:17:45,351 --> 01:17:46,911
And soon find out.
1084
01:17:46,991 --> 01:17:49,071
A strange feeling knowing that
1085
01:17:49,151 --> 01:17:51,431
I don't have to come in tomorrow and
1086
01:17:51,511 --> 01:17:57,071
that it's a new beginning and it's exciting.
For the first time in my career
1087
01:17:57,151 --> 01:17:59,831
it's going into
1088
01:17:59,911 --> 01:18:02,951
what is gonna be a different season,
a different summer.
1089
01:18:03,671 --> 01:18:06,111
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
1090
01:18:12,631 --> 01:18:14,351
The defining moment as a player,
there's only one,
1091
01:18:14,431 --> 01:18:17,751
it's the Arsenal goal. I don't think I did
anything before or after that goal
1092
01:18:17,831 --> 01:18:19,671
because that's all people talk about.
1093
01:18:19,751 --> 01:18:24,711
Of course, he starts on this foray
of running the defenders by Vieira,
1094
01:18:24,911 --> 01:18:27,751
by Dixon, by Keown, by Dixon,
1095
01:18:28,551 --> 01:18:30,551
and whacking the ball. Couldn't believe it.
1096
01:18:30,631 --> 01:18:34,871
That extraordinary balance and technique
and touch and fearlessness
1097
01:18:35,111 --> 01:18:37,591
to destroy what was probably
the greatest defence
1098
01:18:37,671 --> 01:18:40,191
that the Premier League has ever seen.
1099
01:18:40,271 --> 01:18:42,151
And then had to beat
the best keeper in England
1100
01:18:42,231 --> 01:18:45,191
at the time, David Seaman,
and he smashed it above him.
1101
01:18:46,111 --> 01:18:49,511
The best thing, obviously, about that
was the celebration afterwards.
1102
01:18:49,591 --> 01:18:52,511
And he had his top and
giving that one around his head.
1103
01:18:52,751 --> 01:18:55,951
Yeah, unfortunately,
I will never, ever live down...
1104
01:18:57,671 --> 01:18:59,511
Yeah, the chest hair, because
1105
01:18:59,591 --> 01:19:02,951
that Arsenal goal just gets shown
so many times.
1106
01:19:03,471 --> 01:19:06,111
I wish they would just cut it
as soon as the ball hit the back of the net.
1107
01:19:25,271 --> 01:19:27,991
So the rest of my career
is just forgotten about,
1108
01:19:28,071 --> 01:19:30,711
which ain't a bad thing. It wasn't a bad goal.
1109
01:19:31,911 --> 01:19:35,031
If you asked me the three or four best players
in United's history,
1110
01:19:35,231 --> 01:19:37,711
Giggs is definitely one of them,
absolutely no doubt.
1111
01:19:37,791 --> 01:19:39,871
You can argue with the rest.
1112
01:19:40,311 --> 01:19:43,431
RYAN: I've been fortunate
to play football for a living
1113
01:19:43,631 --> 01:19:46,431
since I left school to now, 40,
1114
01:19:46,591 --> 01:19:49,911
and play for a team that I supported as a kid.
1115
01:19:50,231 --> 01:19:53,111
I've also been fortunate to win things,
1116
01:19:53,231 --> 01:19:55,791
and to play under the greatest manager ever
1117
01:19:55,871 --> 01:20:00,391
and to play with some of the greatest players
to ever grace a football pitch.
1118
01:20:00,471 --> 01:20:02,911
I'm always the kind of person
who tries to look forward,
1119
01:20:02,991 --> 01:20:04,711
doesn't dwell on things,
1120
01:20:04,791 --> 01:20:06,551
because if I did, (EXHALES)
1121
01:20:06,671 --> 01:20:09,871
I'd probably get upset
1122
01:20:11,111 --> 01:20:13,431
and it would really affect me, but...
1123
01:20:16,831 --> 01:20:19,071
But I've had the best career
anyone could ever have.
