Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
|
 |
ON Giggs's new
contract signing
"You run out of words to describe Ryan Giggs. He
is a marvellous player and a wonderful man. To have
the desire and the ability to play at the top level
in such a physically demanding position at his age
requires a special person. He is still turning in
man of the match performances and his experience is
so vital for the younger players in the squad."
On Michael Owen
“It's disappointing because I was keen to play
Michael," the boss told reporters at his pre-match
press conference. "We could risk him but there's no
point. He should be okay for Wednesday."
ON JSP
"Ji picked up a hamstring injury in the last few
minutes of training last Friday. It's a blow because
we've missed him. He won't be available until March
now.
ON Rio & Jonny Evans
"Rio and Jonny are also still injured.
ON the general team for Crawley
"We'll play all the players who were involved at
Southampton in the last round," added the boss.
"Bebe will play, so will the two da Silvas, Brown,
O'Shea, Chicharito. We're strong in midfield with
Anderson, Gibson and Carrick all available." |
 |
Ryan Giggs
"All I’ve ever wanted to
do is play for United and I’ve been lucky enough to
do that for 20 years. It’s great to know I’m still
contributing to the team’s success and I feel I’ve
got a lot to offer on and off the pitch. This is an
exciting time to be involved with so many good young
players coming through." |
