Ferguson:
"We have said in the past few years how teams have got off to a good start and never stopped."
"The Premiership title is about sometimes playing great football, sometimes having a bit of luck, sometimes gritting your teeth and sometimes getting through by sheer determination to get over the line.
"Now, we hope to get on the type of roll which would leave our players feeling we can do it this season."
More:
"Ryan is showing experience and maturity."
"The ability has always been there. He has been a fantastic player at this club, there is no question about that.
"He will go down as one of the greatest players of all time and he is using his experience to get the best from himself."
Martin Jol:
"It was a terrific shot, if a stupid goal."
"At half-time I asked Paul if he felt he should have punched it but I had a look at it again on the video and the shot swerved a lot to his left, so he could not do anything about it.
"I think in the first half we probably lacked a bit of confidence.
"It was a new team again, we had Hossam Ghaly making his debut and Pascal Chimbonda was new. But I think he did terrifically well.
"First half they didn't cause us a lot of problems. But at Old Trafford you get two or three chances at the most. And we had probably five today."
