Manager: "The basis of their season this year has been the fantastic ability they have and the standout season of a certain guy from Portugal, but I think the real platform they have had is defensively, where they have been absolutely rock-solid.
"I think he (Sir Alex Ferguson) possibly said it was his best squad, which means they have strength in depth. That is definitely correct.
"When he makes changes, when he tries to freshen up the team, invariably he brings in players of a very similar stature and ability and the whole squad is of a high quality."

Manager: "This game is hugely significant for us.
"We got the bonus we were looking for when Chelsea dropped two points on Monday and we could not have asked for anything more.
"Ewood Park is not the easiest place to go but we are looking for top performances from our players.
"It is in our hands. We are two points in front with a game in hand, so hopefully we will make it count."
"Your players are the ones who have to go out and do it on the pitch.
"They are carrying the burden of pressure.
"Blackburn play attractive, attacking football. They have some exciting players and we have to bear that in mind.
"But the players also need to trust each other because our form is good and we are not searching for anything." Contracts: Theres been good news before the match tomorrow, Carrick, Ferdinand and Brown have all agreed new contracts with United.
