Tomorrow is the second leg of the Champion's League quarter finals for United. Last tuesday United beat Roma out in Rome 2-0 but we did loose Vidic for 2-3 weeks with an injury.
Before the match we have had some good injury news- Rio Ferdinand is going to have a fitness test before the match and he has a good chance of playing.
If we keep a clean sheet tomorrow then we are definetly through, we can also afford to loose 1-0 but we dont want to loose, we Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Giggs and Nani have plenty of goals in them.

Keeper Doni’s thoughts:
“We could spring a surprise,” the keeper insisted. “They have a 2-0 lead to protect, but we will go for it.“We have to believe that we can do this as it isn’t over and we must fight to the end. In my opinion the game is very much open“We are very well aware that it won’t be easy, but we believe we have what it takes to show the heart to surmount this obstacle.”
