"He is marvellous, Alex (Ferguson). I don’t know how he does it. Every year he comes up with something different - change of coach, change of players - he is just fantastic. We are there again, ready for the 20th."

“It’s not surpassing Liverpool which makes winning this 19th League title so special. Nor will it be about Liverpool if we go on to equal their British record of five European Cup wins. It’s about establishing United as the best. It’s about our quality, about raising our standards even higher.” - Sir Bobby Charlton

“When I’m asked to name the best players in the history of our club (excluding himself), the first three are Edwards, Best and Law.” “Just a boy. But what a boy. Look at our old team pictures when Duncan was still only 16 and he was already the giant on the end of the row. He was already the complete footballer. Mighty in the air. Unbreakable in the tackle. Rampaging tirelessly across the pitch. Perfect first touch followed by raking 40, 50-yard passes with either foot. Unstoppable on the run with the ball. Deadly in front of goal. He was already a colossus.” “Ask me who is the greatest  footballer the world has ever seen. Ask me who is the greatest footballer I ever played with. Ask me who is the greatest footballer I ever played against. Same answer: Duncan Edwards.” “Don’t ask me how much greater he would have become. It defies imagination. What’s bigger than a colossus? Think about that. Then remember that I played not only with George and Denis but with Bobby Moore. That I played against Pele. They were truly great, but Duncan was the greatest.” - Sir Bobby Charlton
