The Daily Mail asked " why the secretive nature of the deal and why did you keep the deal quite" 

He took a moment to reply " the Glazer family and I have been in discussions since the middle of last year about my purchase of the club we decided to keep it quiet so as not to distract the players from completing their duties and ensuring a smooth as possible sale and transition period" the Journalists were that they have been in discussion for such a long time without them being aware 

The Sun asked "Why purchase the club after the retirement of Sir, Alex Ferguson?"

He replied saying " I felt there wasn't a better time than now to purchase the club, the fans were Not happy with the previous owners and with the retirement of Sir, Alex I felt it a good time to acquire the club" Journalists were surprised he would outright mention the Glazers like that and fans on the scene were happy their feelings were acknowledged 

The Manchester Evening News asked " What are your plans for the club now that you have purchased it"

He let the fans express themselves before he continued " I will also be investing in our women football team, Our Youth academy, a total revamp of our facilities and improvement of the club stadium. While this are all short to medium term goals to achieve they are also influential into achieving our goals" 

He continued "I would like to inform the fans that while I have laid out my plans for the club I would also like to remind them that Sir, Alex has retired and one doesn't get a legendary figure like that like one gets groceries so I would like the fans to temper their expectations as we're currently in a rebuilding process and the results they expect would take time and their constant support for the club that is all I ask of the fans. Thank you for attending this press conference" He left the hall with clicks of cameras accompanying him.
