ON Darren Fletcher
"Darren will play
part of the game," "He has shown great improvement
from the reserve game last week and his weight is
back to normal.
"It is just that issue of game time and a little bit
more strengthening."
On Team Selection
"Wednesday is a
European semi-final second leg and... we will
regroup and freshen it up. I will make some changes
without question. I will bring Paul Scholes back in,
Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen.
"We'll need to do that but I will probably keep my
experienced players at the back.
On the season in general
"We are in as good a position as you could ever wish
for at the start of the season - semi-final of the
European Cup, second leg, two-goal lead and go into
a home game on Sunday level on goal difference [and
with a three-point advantage." |
