Pre
Match Press Conference Highlights |
 Rio
on where to win the title
"I have won it at away grounds and been in my house when
another team has lost, so it would be nice to win it at Old
Trafford," he said.
"But in all honesty, I would win it anywhere. I would win it
on the grass outside the training ground if I had to."
"
ON Steve Bruce
“He’s built a very powerful, athletic team and although they
had a bad start to the season, they came back with great
rattle and got themselves into a UEFA position. They may
have tailed off a bit from that now but Brucie’s still done
a great job." |
