MATCH PREVIEW (YES WE ARE ACTUALLY PLAYING TODAY)

"The best way to deal with everything is for us to win our games and then whatever Arsenal do won't matter.

"The determination has been terrific and the goal-scoring threat has been there too... so these are good things to take from the game with Madrid. Sometimes these things work in your favour - as we saw at Newcastle - but the great thing was that we all felt lifted by taking part in such an engrossing game.

"Hopefully that will help our momentum, it certainly shouldn't derail us in any way.

"There will be one or two bits of freshness. Gary Neville’s back, Scholesy’s back, one or two players are fresh, Becks is fresh, Quinton Fortune, Phil Neville. We have a lot of freshness there. There will be two or three changes. In the last few games we’ve hit scoring form really well and that’s uppermost in my mind."

Ferdinand on MUTV: "If we didn't win it (the title), what we have achieved this year would be regarded as a good season at most clubs. Here, it isn't good enough.

"We have worked incredibly hard to get ourselves in this position because at the beginning of March we were eight points behind.

"It was our own doing because we let a lot of points slip but having bounced back so well, we can't let it slip now - we have to finish it off.''
