Ferguson:
"We expect Uefa to come down on them because my view has not changed.
"To walk off the pitch was to influence the match officials or the result of the game, and why they thought that I will never know. It was bizarre, extraordinary. I have never seen it before and I don't think you will see it again. They were fortunate their players did not actually go down the tunnel, that's maybe their saving grace, that about half a dozen of them seemed to hover about four or five yards over the touchline.
They have tried to create an issue around the game, saying they are a small team from France and they are playing the big Manchester United.
"But the laws say if you leave the pitch, you need the referee's permission to come back on.
"Four or five of their players should have been yellow-carded and probably a couple of them had already been booked.
"It is an interesting aspect. But, from the referee's point of view, he probably wanted the game finished and over with.
"What I was trying to do was getting us to take the quick throw-in, because their players were all over the place. Louis Saha was free and if we'd taken the throw-in, they were in trouble. Patrice Evra had the ball in his hand and I was shouting at him to take the quick throw."
"Maybe what they're trying is do to create an issue that they're a wee team from France being unfairly treated playing the big Man United.
"They might think that can influence the referee. But as far as we are concerned we are a goal to the good and we're gonna approach it the right way.
"There's always a danger of being too cautious when you have got a lead. We have to revert back to type and try to play our normal game as much as we can, be positive and go to win it rather than try to consolidate and get through 1-0. That doesn't really work that way for us."
His comment on a possible meeting with Liverpool if both teams progress next week:
"It would certainly be different to the Premiership. Hopefully it's the final, to be honest with you."
Michael Carrick:
"There is no bad feeling from me. I am concentrating on the football side of it. That is all you can do as a player. It is a great opportunity for us to progress and we want to take it.
"It is going to be very difficult. They gave us a tough time out there. They had a few chances but couldn't quite put them away.
"I know we have the away goal but one-nil is a funny scoreline.
"We have to be on our guard, go about our business in the right way and make sure we finish the job off."
The Telegraph about Lille:
Lille striker Peter Odemwingie has stoked up tensions ahead of Wednesday's Champions League tie against Manchester United by claiming that the French club are "offended" by the manner in which Sir Alex Ferguson's team won the first leg, and insisting they will be out for revenge at Old Trafford.
Nearly two weeks have passed since United's controversial 1-0 win at the Felix-Bollaert Stadium, but Odemwingie's fury is yet to die down. The Nigerian international remains deeply frustrated after seeing his headed goal ruled out for a push on Nemanja Vidic while Ryan Giggs' goal from a quickly-taken free kick stood. "It's hard to accept when two big decisions like that go against you," Odemwingie said. "There wasn't an obvious push for my goal. Vidic was already diving before I touched him.
"The referee was also wrong to award Giggs' goal. In France we always wait for the whistle, but even considering the rule about quick free kicks this goal was not valid. It was not a quick start. The ball had gone out of play, a ball boy retrieved it, one of our players placed it on the ground and then Wayne Rooney decided to move it. We'd already been organising ourselves for several seconds."
Lille's appeal was thrown out by Uefa and the club are threatening to take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Many in France feel Lille would be better served focusing on the second leg, but Odemwingie believes they are right to continue contesting the goal. "It's only normal that we complain," he said. "The referee spoke to Giggs and didn't make any signal. Then he turned his back. He didn't even see the ball go into the net. We feel offended by what happened."
The scenes that followed Giggs' strike have also provoked debate, with Lille's goalkeeping coach Jean-Noel Duse seemingly beckoning the home players to walk off the pitch.
Odemwingie, 25, admits he did not initially understand Duse's intentions, but as the only Lille player who has a perfect command of both French and English, he found himself acting as a mediator. "Our goalkeeping coach made a mistake. He knew about this regulation in France which says that to lodge a complaint you have to put the ball out and your captain must speak to the match official. As I speak English I went to the referee to explain what Lille were doing."
Convinced that Lille had intended to leave the pitch, Ferguson labelled the club "a disgrace". Lille have since been charged with improper behaviour by Uefa.
But Odemwingie strongly denies that his team were in the wrong. "The English should get their facts right before they make accusations," he said. "There was never any question of Lille walking off. Duse was simply calling for our captain Gregory Tafforeau to come to the touchline."
