Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
|
 |
ON Gary Neville
"We've been discussing it for a few weeks.
He wanted to do it on Sunday during international
week. But once the European squad was
announced most of the press were alerted to that, so
Gary wanted to get it done. He is a fantastic man,
made a career out of his to be a professional.
He is an absolute legend at our club. Terrific
example to all the young players here."
"Gary will train
with the rest of the team for the rest of the
season. We want him to stay here. What he
contributes in future years is what this club is
about. It's a family club and he understands that.
He's got a role to play as a coach, particularly
with the young players."
ON Rafael & Darren
Fletcher
"Rafael should be OK. He has trained. There are no
further injuries. With Fletcher, we'll assess him
today. His eye closed (against Villa), so he
couldn't see properly. But I'm sure he'll be OK." |
