Pre Match Press Conference Highlights & Team News

On Rio Ferdinand

"I’m hoping Rio will be okay for Saturday,” said Ferguson.

“When you go to Stoke you need a bit of experience.

“Rio came into the team when we played at Bolton and gave us that experience, so we hope he’ll be fit for Saturday.”

 

On Ashley Cole's tackle on Chicarito
"At the time it happened, he had no feeling in the leg. There was numbness and we thought there might have been some nerve damage.

 

On Nemanja Vidic
"He's making slow progress. He's still having treatment,"
