Conference Highlights |
|
 |
Darren Fletcher
“We feel we have played well at times this
season,” “But we expect more – we expect more of
ourselves all the time – there’s no ceiling on
performance levels here.
“There are a lot of tough games to come and there’s
a long way to go to win the league. We definitely
feel as though we can play better and hopefully our
form improves towards the end of the season, which
is when it really matters in the league and the
Champions League. This is when the big games come,
the matches that ultimately win you trophies" |
 |
Gary Neville on
Rafael
"I think Rafael is more than capable of going on to
become United’s right-back for many, many years. His
performances in the last six months in particular
have been brilliant. He’s matured and really come of
age." |
