CONFIDENCE, COMPOSURE, PATIENCE

"Everybody thought there was a lot of pressure on us but we
played with good confidence and good composure and patience
on Saturday and took our time about the game."

He also had more praise for Van Nistelrooy:

"He was outstanding. I don't think you will see a better
goal than the second one Ruud scored, and if we do I hope I
am around to see it.

"It was a marvellous goal. Courage, determination, drive,
speed, and the execution was marvellous.

"It will be up there with the best goals in Old Trafford
history because it came in such an important game.

"We have had players here who have scored great goals but
Ruud van Nistelrooy is a scorer of simple goals and great
goals."
