We were considering him (Ruud van Nistelrooy) and Francis Jeffers and, in the end, we went for Jeffers. - Arsène Wenger

What would I do if Alex wasn't around? I would have no one to keep me on my toes or to fight. So of course I am pleased he changed his mind. I enjoy our rivalry. It is good for Arsenal, good for Manchester United and good for both of us.

Nobody will finish above us in the league. It wouldn't surprise me if we were to go unbeaten for the whole of the season.

What is unbelievable is that I am in a position where people reproach me for making a profit. The people who lose money – nobody says a word. Reproach the people who lose money. I do business by managing in a safe way in a healthy way and on top of that you reproach me for making money. It looks like we are in a business where the quality is to lose money.
