Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
|
 |
On Rafael da Silva
Rafael has a dead leg," "He will miss
Saturday, of course
On Patrice Evra
Patrice has an ankle injury, which we will assess on
Thursday." |
|
 |
Darren Fletcher
"People are talking about us not losing but we have
drawn too many, especially away from home,"
We have to start winning our away games if we want
to push up this league.
"You can't afford to draw too many games, otherwise
you will get left behind.
"Overall, you would be better winning two games out
of three and losing the other one rather than
winning one and drawing two.
"That is why we were disappointed on Wednesday.
"We could have got the win and felt we produced a
performance good enough to get us one." |
