"There was a story that the Rome police were scared to go in among their fans. Well, I find that quite incredible.

"Hopefully, lessons have been learned about what happened last time because someone could have been killed. In fact, when you saw some of the scenes, it is amazing nobody was killed. Our fans took appalling abuse and the scenes were sickening.

"So, that's an instant reminder to us that there needs to be good behaviour from our fans, who I didn't think did a lot wrong from what I can gather. But, nevertheless, they will have to be absolutely vigilant, not be intimidated and go and watch the game and enjoy it. That's what I expect them to do."

More still:

"'Two European Cups are not enough for Manchester United,' he said. 'Winning another is the one remaining great ambition. It has to be."

"You see all the great names on the trophy who have won it numerous times but none of them are greater than us.

"We have been in the semi-finals quite a few times but only reached one final. We have to improve on that record."
