What They're Saying
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal (via Daily Mail): "Change of behavior is very difficult. When you are open, then you can change. But it's very important that you want it in your head."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via ESPN FC): "What would I do if I was retired? I love horses as well, but I don't go to races. I like to ride horses because I was once a farmer, but my back would not take riding anymore. Maybe I will just watch a lot of football matches when I retire."
