Conference Highlights |

On the Rooney ban
situation
"We put in
an appeal and the lad apologised but I don't think
we expected to get a result. We're disappointed but
we have to get on with it. We'll be united about it.
We've got a good squad and the players have shown
fantastic determination- we're going to be hard to
beat. It'll bring everyone together - that's the
great advantage we have now. It's a plus for us."
On Rafael
"Rafael won't be
available for tomorrow. We sent him for a scan but
there's no bruising or ligament damage to knee. He
should be okay for Tuesday.
On Wes Brown & John O'Shea & Anderson.
"Wes Brown and John O'Shea are fit. Bit by bit we're
getting players back. Anderson played last night and
is available for tomorrow.
On Darren Fletcher
"Fletcher
has put a bit of weight back on which is good. He's
progressing not too bad now." |
