I think also they know what I can give them. You know, I think I know what they can give me. So, yes, I want to focus on the history of this giant club and give what I have and what I don’t have, so I will give absolutely everything to try and go in the direction we all want. And more than that, I need the players and supporters to feel that I say that, but I think we can really. I think what the players they need to listen is I want to win. I think what the fans are expecting me to say is that I want to win. I think I prefer to forget the past three years, I prefer to focus on the giant club I have in my hands now. One perspective is the past three years and another perspective is the club history. I think we can look at our club now in two perspectives. But the reality is that what I love is to work and I cannot wait for the 7th of July to go on the pitch. And giant clubs must be for the best managers and I think I am ready for it, so I could say I am happy, I am proud, I am honoured, I am everything. Well, I think I am in the right moment in my career because Man United is one of these clubs where you need really to be prepared for it because it is what I used to a call giant club.

Speaking specifically about Mourinho’s gouging of the eye of then Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova, Sir Bobby said: His views on Mourinho’s arrival will be interesting, partly because of his standing not just at United but in football generally, but also because of what he said to the Guardian’s Jamie Jackson about the possibility of Mourinho taking over at the club, in 2012. We’ve yet to hear from Old Trafford grandee, Sir Bobby Charlton.
