On Owen Hargreaves
"It’s
a shoulder injury. It has just brought his season to
an end. He has just carried bad luck all the time he
has been here. I am pretty sure he won’t be playing
this season.”
"His contract is up at the end of the season but I
don't know what is going to happen," David
Gill had a discussion with the boy last week. But no
more than that. We have to make a decision."
On Darren Fletcher
Fletch’ is back in
training although he’s not doing a lot. He’s put
weight back on which is good. He’s still a couple of
weeks away.”
On the Game in
general
“It should be an
exciting game. We go into it with great confidence,
we’re playing well and we’re ready for it,” he
vowed. "City have a strong squad and they've got
plenty of experience. You have to play well to win
at Wembley.” |
