 SAF
on Rooney
"I'm sure Rooney will play," he
added. "I think he's had some problems in the last few days
but he had the whole weekend to recover.
"He's a fine player and he'll want to participate in the
match. Alex Ferguson will certainly use the best possible
formation."
"He is fit, I am glad to say
that he is fit.
"He has showed a rapid improvement since Saturday morning.
He was extremely doubtful, but he is OK."
On Wes Brown
"Unfortunately he's had a
career that's been blighted with injury, and all long-term
injuries unfortunately for the lad.
"He's got another one and he'll be out for four to six
weeks. I hope that we can get him back for some of the
season, but that's the situation for him."
Edwin van der Sar
"It’s not a case of owing
Milan one, but we will want to make sure we don’t make the
same mistakes we did a few years ago when they knocked us
out at the semi-final stage,”
“They played particularly well in the home leg here when we
won 3-2 and Kaka scored two goals. Then at the San Siro,
Clarence Seedorf was fantastic – he was excellent in both
games actually. But we got a good result in Milan and now we
need to finish it off with a magic night at Old Trafford.
“We’re always confident,” he added. “And I haven’t played a
lot in the Champions League yet this season, so I’ve been
really looking forward to these games.”
David Beckham
"If I play on Wednesday I
won't be frightened but I will be excited because I played
in that stadium for many years and I know what it means to
be a Manchester United player.
"I know what it means for opponents to play there."
