Conference Highlights |

 On
Patrice Evra v Theo Walcott”
Patrice Evra is quick enough," said Ferguson. "He has
played against Theo Walcott a few times and been alright
with that. "Walcott is very quick, probably the
quickest forward in England at the moment, so we will have
to prepare in the right way."
On the squad fitness
"Everyone's fit, apart from Gary," "It's a strong
position to be in going into a Champions League semi-final."
On the Striking options
"There are many decisions to be made: the performance in the
second half against Tottenham, in particular, and the way
that Carlos Tevez changed the game. That’s not lost on me." |
