Pre Match Press Conference Highlights

On Owen Hargreaves

"Yes, Owen will probably be in my Champions League squad," confirmed Ferguson.
"It will be finalised in the next 10 days and unless something untoward happens I would imagine we will be picking him."

"Owen is still training with the reserves," said Ferguson.

"Now it is two days on and one day off and he is preparing to get to the proper levels.  "He has done two or three sessions with us in the last couple of weeks and did very well in Qatar last week.  "But it is a process and hopefully we will get to the point where he feels confident about playing again

 

On EVDS
“Edwin makes a great difference. He is a great communicator and has real composure.

“You can pass the ball back to him and you know he can play it out with either foot. It makes life a lot easier.

“At 39 he has the experience that the other goalkeepers don’t have. Keepers don’t get into their prime until their 30s.

“He is probably playing the best football of his life. He is a really good professional and a very nice man.”
