"The team never loses. They just run out of time." —Steve McClaren From Alan Hansen's falsely prophetic "You'll never win anything with kids," to Eric Cantona's existentialist aphorism on the theme of seagulls, sardines, and trawlers, this fun reference is a neat collection of words of wit and wisdom by and about Manchester United's players, managers, and officials past and present. Appearing in no particular order, each quotation is dated and attributed to its source and—where appropriate—accompanied by explanatory asides and supporting statistics, making it the perfect companion guide for any fan of Man U.
