Alex told me ‘That’s young Ryan Giggs and we have just signed him this morning.’

I got exactly the same sensation watching us in the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals last season, only this time it was about defenders and midfielders. There were four or five of them and I remember thinking ‘wow’ again — I’ve never been so impressed.

I don’t know how other teams work, but we get our fair share of good players because of the way we work and the coaching staff we have attracts the best.”
