"This season, it's obviously down to the Champions League,"
"They're going to play the team that many regard as the best around, so that's not going to be easy.
"The Manchester United supporters will not be happy, understandably so. And I think they're going to have to be very patient, because I don't see this as a quick fix.
"I don't think, when you're talking about putting it right, you can talk about it in terms of month or years.
"I think you have to talk transfer windows. Because with every transfer window, you're not going to get the players you ideally want.
"You might have to wait six months or a year to get the ones you want. So for me this is not a quick fix here, and these supporters are going to have to accept that.
"You can put United in a group of maybe half a dozen clubs that are uniquely special,"
"In terms of finance, they don't have to be in the Champions League to go out and buy the very best players. The transfer fees and the salary will not be an issue.
"Playing for United but not being in the Champions League might be an issue for some players - but this is a unique club."
