Pre Match Press Conference Highlights

On Rio Ferdinand

""We have to consider whether Rio will start tomorrow but I think he probably will," said Sir Alex, at Monday evening's pre-match press conference.  "We feel we've got to the bottom of the back problem. We certainly hope he'll be okay for the rest of the season. He's not missed a training session in the last six or seven weeks.

"We've worked really hard with him and he's worked very hard himself. He's now doing really well with his core work and we feel that will help him in the future."

On Nemanja Vidic

"A lot of clubs want to buy our players. We want him to stay, of course. He's a great player and one of the best centre-backs in the world."

"It's a difficult one because Nemanja feels like he needs a lot of training," said Sir Alex.

"He's trained for the last ten days but still doesn't feel ready to take part in any games. We must be patient with the situation and that's what we are doing."

Dimitar Berbatov

"Winning the Champions League is something I've dreamed of all my life. Two finals, two losses for me. I want to be in a final again and I'm sure we will be."
