Silvestre, comparing RVN with Thierry Henry in the Star:
'I would take Henry because he is a lot faster. That is very important in English football, and Henry also gives a team more attacking options.'
'At the moment there is not enough strength in depth and I feel we need some more players.
'In the past few months we have had as many as six players injured and therefore on the bench we have had 18 and 19-year-olds.
'We are too short in some areas of the team. For example, we have only three strikers, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Diego Forlan and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
'On the left side of the defence I am the only left-footed player, and it is the same with Gary Neville on the right.'
