* Ferguson talks about Antwerp bound Jonny Evans:
"Jonny has been here since he was 12 years of age. We have an academy in Belfast which has produced some terrific young players for us, and the scouting system in that part of the country has been very, very good to us.
"Jonny has wonderful composure, temperament, balance and stature and in a year's time he will be absolutely outstanding.
"I think he will play for Northern Ireland in the next year and a half, even though he is only 18.
"And I am 100 per cent certain he will be a Manchester United player.
"Danny is a local boy from Salford which has been a great breeding ground for us over the past few decades.
"Danny has the potential to be an outstanding player. For a young boy he is a natural defender, with great speed. Our plan is to farm him out to Royal Antwerp along with Jonny."
* Ruud has been dropped by Holland for their forthcoming friendly.
