Life of Ryan: Caretaker Manager Page #3

---

(PLAYERS EXCLAIMING)

You know, you come to

your end of your career

and it's horrible, it's the worst...

It's the worst thing probably I've ever had

to deal with professionally.

Coming to the end of your football career,

everyone tells you to play

for as long as you possibly can

because the next stage

of your life is not as good

because you're not playing football,

the sport that you love,

so he's gotta somehow find...

Find something inside him

that brings closure on his football career.

RYAN:
It's been a difficult year playing-wise,

not enjoyed the results and the playing,

so have I contributed? Not as much

as I have done previously.

If I'd have retired last year, I'd have

gone out on a high, United's 20th title

and everything would have been rosy.

But life isn't like that.

Yeah, there's definitely an issue

where you can't be too open,

whereas other sports,

that probably isn't the case.

You're guided by the press office, really,

on what not to say.

I do.

(MALE REPORTER SPEAKING)

MOYES:
Most definitely.

It's a really good competition.

It's been very good for us so far...

...a very inexperienced manager

in the Champions League.

But we've done well, and then

we'll be at the ultimate test with Bayern.

- Players, obviously, apart from myself.

-(REPORTERS LAUGHING)

I don't know.

I'll tell you after tomorrow, maybe.

(LAUGHING)

I mean, yeah, of course,

as a player you want to play all the time.

I mean, the last time I played

was probably the first time

in six or seven weeks, but we've got

a lot of players to choose from

who are always ready to play,

and that's what you've gotta do.

REPORTERS:
Ooh!

Nearly died.

- All good?

- Yeah.

- Right, see you later.

- All right, thanks, Ryan.

Yeah, he's all gone.

A bit naughty, really, asking

if I'm going to take over from the manager.

There was one right at the end

where he asked about us falling out.

But if you lose a game, then you're obviously

going to have to handle the stick

because you're not expected to lose games,

you're not expected to lose

so many games at Man United.

So... And the manager knows that,

and it's not a problem that.

You take that criticism all day long.

I honestly don't know if I'm going to

go into management or not.

I've prepared myself for it as best I can,

and that's all you can do, really.

The problem is, obviously these days,

that managers

don't last very long.

I mean, it is ridiculous, really.

You see managers changing all the time,

and still they come back for more,

and it's that buzz that they get

and they really miss it when they're away,

so it might be a case of you start managing,
