Conference Highlights |

 |
ON Carrick & Nani
"Nani and
Michael Carrick trained on Sunday and Monday and
both will be involved tomorrow |
|
|
ON Valencia
"It was a fantastic bonus for us to get 45 minutes
from Antonio on Saturday," said Ferguson. "The
question is whether we can play him from the start
or continue as we did on Saturday as a substitute.
It's a great selection problem for me." |
 |
Rafael
From M.E.N.
“When we came to the club, Fabio had just got
married and wore a ring so our boss just had to look
at the left hand to tell us apart. It was quite
funny,” said Rafael.
“But now we are both married and wear rings. This
has made his life more difficult and occasionally he
still gets it wrong. We laugh, but he takes it
well.” |
