But what club wouldn't welcome the chance to strengthen their side, what club would turn down the resources Chelsea have?

Frank Lampard

I want to aspire to titles. Liverpool will always be a big club, but we are not at the level of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, or Arsenal.

Pepe Reina

I am sad to leave so many friends at Manchester United. But I am grateful to the club for allowing me the chance to take up the challenge at Chicago Fire.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

I hope to work sometime for an absolute top club. It should be no surprise that Manchester United are a dream club for me.

Jaap Stam

I have friends who play for Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United.

Alexandre Pato

Manchester United and Liverpool have been bought with huge leverage, and we've got Roman Abramovich at Chelsea who can turn his loans into shares. It is really important for the Premier League to ask itself: if a club is being bought on such a mountain of debt, isn't that a possible recipe for disaster for the future?

Gordon Taylor

If you want to measure yourself with Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United, you, as Bayern Munich, need a philosophy. That must be the aim of the club.

Philipp Lahm

Manchester United is a world-famous club, and yet if you say, 'Manchester United,' then immediately you think of Sir Alex Ferguson. To have achieved so much and have so much importance at such a big club is extremely rare.

Frank Rijkaard

As I said, when I played at Chelsea I give always my best to help the team but now Manchester United is my club and I will try to win there.

Nemanja Matic

Benfica against Manchester United is very special for me. Benfica is my real club but Manchester United is my English club. We are together in history.

Eusebio

I have felt part of this club when I have travelled all around the world and been recognised as a Manchester United player. And when you're a Manchester United player you will forever be a Manchester United player.

Ander Herrera

Gilberto was a top midfielder who played for Arsenal. But he has a lot of respect for Manchester United, who are obviously a big club here in England. He praised the club a lot and, after he was granted the opportunity to speak to Jose Mourinho and other senior figures at United, we made the decision together for me to come here.

Fred

When I played for Stuttgart, I met Manchester United and Chelsea. With United, I immediately think of the duels with Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes and with Chelsea, it was John Terry. Those players are symbols of their clubs and the success they had at that time.

Philipp Lahm

When you join this club as a young player you know you've got a mountain to climb to get yourself into the first team. (on Manchester United)

Gary Neville

The Premier League is a very strong league. Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool all have a high quality. But those who know me also know that I always want to win titles. And I think that Manchester United are a club which can win titles.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

Manchester United is the biggest club in the world and is clearly determined to get back to the top.
