From the MUTV interview (Taken from Reddit):

- "Play with speed, play with tempo"
- "The teams looked great all week, very sharp"
- "Proud, happy and a little bit nervous"
- "The proudest moment of my life"
- "We've got great players in that dressing room who are winners, who are used to winning and have that winning mentality."
- "I trust you, go out and enjoy yourselves, go out and attack and score goals"
- "Sir Alex was the first person to call because I wanted advice".
- "I want the fans to enjoy the end of the season".
- "We're Man United, We're playing at Old Trafford, Of course we expect to win".
- "Rafael and Robin still out, everyone else is fit".
- "Great support off the fans, the staff and the players, I'm grateful for that"
- "Scoring my goal a season is way down the list of priorities. A lot of people have brought up subbing myself on for a penalty, but we'll see what happens. I've said all season that it'd be nice, but it's not a huge disappointment if it doesn't happen."
- "I can’t wait for five thirty tomorrow when we walk out at Old Trafford. I know the place will be rocking."

fecking hell, he just oozes so much more positivity than dithering Dave. Being open and frank,

'it has been a difficult week and season'

'not been easy'

'been chaotic'

and at the same time he shows such more more belief in the lads than what Moyes did

'i know what they can do'

'i believe them'

'i trust them'

Giggs just said he'll give himself a 5 year contract!

Having a bit of banter with the media, "I'll just give myself a new 5 year contract this week"

Told the lads this week in training to enjoy themselves and just express themselves on the pitch, go out and play.

He keeps talking about training being enjoyable this week.

Probably been the first time they have enjoyed training in months if the media reports are anything to go by.

It's pretty much easy to have a relaxed press conference knowing you're in charge of four games that really doesn't affect you either way.

It's the first press conference I've enjoyed this season. I had a smile all the way through. He's definitely brought positivity in me as a fan.

My thinking too. He said all the lads have looked good and sharp in training.

"My message to the players has been that I trust them. I told them to go and score goals and entertain. That's my philosophy.
Great quote from Giggs.

"It's going to be my philosophy. It's going to be a Manchester United philosophy.

"Passion, speed, tempo, be brave, imagination. Work hard but most of all enjoy it. If you enjoy it, you can express yourself more."

Really like this quote as a whole.

It sounds like they are showing it in parts, they said that is the end of the first part so are we going back for more :confused:

There was more smiles and laughs in that one press conference than there were all Moyes ones put together.
