"Patrick seems to have an immunity to these kind of things so I'm not surprised. (Not getting sent off)
"These games are very difficult for referees. Where do they start or stop?
"There were a lot of fouls and I don't think there were any really bad ones, although Reyes was perhaps a bit lucky not to be sent off for his tackle on Mikael Silvestre.
"You don't want to see players sent off in the final but referees are only human beings.
"We've always been the sort of team that is galvanised by defeat and adversity.
"We're that sort of team. We'll get ourselves off the ground, cup football can do that to you sometimes.
"We are a very good team and in that form we can play against anybody.
"It was a really good performance and we got our game together today.
"You could toss a coin for man of the match out of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo because they were great, the pair of them.
"There's a great future for those boys and Darren Fletcher as well.
The season's over now and we can reflect on what might have been as long as we like but we have to look forward to next season now."
Keano:
"Ronaldo and Rooney were outstanding and they will be back.
"The young players were very distraught after the game but they will be better for it.
"Football is about highs and lows and we are all disappointed.
"It's small consolation to say we were the better team, created all the chances and dominated.
"I am sure the Arsenal players won't be too bothered about that. They've got the winners' medals and cup. We haven't.
"Paul's penalty was saved but remember the number of times he has saved us. Hopefully, people won't forget that.
"Unfortunately, someone eventually is going to miss a penalty and unfortunately for us it just wasn't meant to be.
"It's just the way it goes, the keeper picked the right side and that was it.
"It's surprising the chances we've had and not scored from this season. But sometimes it's just not going to be your day. We have to take the lows with us.

Ferdinand:
"It's a bit of sucker punch really.
"You go into a cup final, you want to win. It's disappointing but I'm sure we'll come back.
"It was a very good team performance but at the end of the day if you don't score goals, you don't win games."
Wenger:
"I think in the second half Manchester United played very well.
"We had to drop deep and keep it tight. As long as nobody scored we were okay.
"We didn't create a lot and it was our mental strength that got us through.
"We got beaten at Highbury [earlier in the season] because we were a little open and we didn't want that to happen again.
"So we played it tight. We knew it would mean less support up front but I worked on that as the game progressed.
"We still didn't create many chances because Manchester United were very strong physically."
