"We talked for half an hour and as we were leaving, one of the guys said: 'Barcelona tried to sign you in 2000.'"

"I said: 'What?' He said: 'Yes, we called Sir Alex Ferguson. Asked if he could sign Giggs. ’”

“I said: ‘Well, what did he say?’ Ferguson told them ‘fuck off’”

About the famous “flying boot” incident

”Beckham didn’t care until he saw the blood. 'Cause I missed an empty goal."

After the game, Ferguson was furious because of his dissatisfaction with the team's performance, especially with Beckham's performance.
