Pre Match Press Conference Highlights

On Paul Scholes' rumoured England return

""I have no idea about England. I wouldn't have thought so,".

On the squad nearing full fitness

"Everyone is fit, although when you get everyone fit at this club it is a nightmare because you have 24 players all reporting and I can only pick 11," Ferguson shrugged.  "It is totally unfair. We should be allowed to pick 16 at least."
