Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
 |
Michael Carrick
"The buzz you get with the Champions League is
something that no other competition brings. It was
strange watching it last week and not being involved
because we had to wait an extra week. But we’re
ready for it." |
 |
Patrice Evra on
Gabriel Heinze
"It wasn't
easy at first with him being a former Paris Saint-Germain
player. There is a big rivalry with Marseille.
"I am happy to see him doing well and he will get a
big ovation when he comes back to Old Trafford
because he played so well for United."
On Marseille
"I've
watched some of their games this season and you can
see they are a good team and they have a great
manager in Didier Deschamps, who was my coach at
Monaco," "He is not afraid of any team and I
know he will get his players motivated before the
game so they play with no fear. It's a dangerous
game for us because we are favourites so in a way
Marseille have nothing to lose." |
