Keegan's view on Ronaldo: Apparently Kevin Keegan said this during training yesterday about the United ace: "I'll love it, just love it, if we get that Ronaldo right on the conker". - What an idiot, i would love to see someone hit him right on the conker, i dont no about you.
Manager:
"If you get four international players coming back into the squad, it is bound to make a difference.
"They are not internationals for any other reason than they are very good players.
"They give us options, we can play different ways with them. They are different players to the ones that were here before, big and strong in the case of Abdoulaye Faye, and quick and pacy in the case of Habib Beye.
"They have come back and I know when you get a new manager in, it means a new beginning for a lot of players, so you do get an initial wave of enthusiasm."
Injuries: Carr, Emre and Martins are all injured, Goalkeeper Givens is not expected to play.

Manager:
"We're in a position where we can't afford any slip ups. We have to motor on and get some consistency.
"It's not easy playing catch-up. We've done it in the past and we've failed in the past. At the moment Arsenal have the advantage.
"They are five points clear but teams will drop points between now and the end of the season. It's unavoidable."
