Q: Hello Sir Alex. We would like to ask you some questions about the new season. Do you expect Cristiano Ronaldo to leave this summer?

A: few years ago I might not have been able to answer that question but now I am quite sure that Cristiano (Ronaldo) will be staying with us this season. He was very angry after the match against Real Madrid because they injured him in the first 5 minutes he was very fortunate it wasn’t serious but he did miss the next match. He said then that he didn’t want to leave because the Real Madrid players did not show any respect to him.

Q: Do you have any transfer targets?

A: Yes we have been looking at some players to improve our squad. We are looking at getting a Centre-back and a Goalkeeper. We only have Rio (Ferdinand), Nemanja (Vidic), and Jonny (Evans) at Centre-back and Edwin (Van Der Sar), Ben Foster and Ben Amos but Amos is still a reserve team player so I’m looking on getting another back up keeper.

Q: Can you name some of your targets?

A: I’m not supposed to name any names but we are in talks with Lyon about the young boy Lloris and we are also looking at getting pique back to Old Trafford but that might not materialize to anything. Also Rui Patricio impressed us in the Champions League final and we might look at him if we don’t get Lloris. We have good connections with Sporting Lisbon, we have bought Ronaldo, Nani and Veloso from them.

Q: Why are you always chewing gum? Are you addicted, or to you just have a vibrating jaw and you want to cover it up by looking like you are chewing?

A: Well you’ve left me speechless, eh well I actually don’t know it just gives me something to do and if the game is not going well it helps ease the tension and frustration. No I don’t have a vibrating jaw *Laughs*

Q: Will Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes be coming back this season or will they be retiring?

A: No, all players will be coming back for the new season. They are all first team players and doing very well. Paul and Ryan have got a good number of goals near the end of last season and hopefully they can bring that form into this season. I don’t know if they will come back for the next season but I hope they do and there is always room here at Old Trafford at management level.

Q: Who will captain the side when Gary Neville retires?

A:Rio Ferdinand has filled in as captain when Gary was injured and Ryan didn’t play so he will be my first choice but we also have some very good leaders on the team so it will be a hard decision to name the vice-captain.

Q: What do you hope to achieve this season?

A: Well, obviously I hope to retain the Premier League and the Champions League but I also want to win the Carling Cup because we have not won that for 5 years. The World Club Championship is also I trophy I would like to win again.

Q: Any thoughts of retiring?

A: No not at all I want to keep managing until its not physically not possible any more.
