Giggs:
"We know there's goals within this team, goals from everywhere. It's always nice to see Carlos, Wayne and Cristiano, lads who want to score goals, getting on the scoresheet.
"I am looking forward to the break.
"This is why I retired from international football."
[He must have read our latest editorial!]
Simpson:
"He [Tevez] is just like that in training.
"He is like a little dog; he never stops. He is settling in now and beginning to show what he can do.
"I cannot even put into words what it means to play a league game at Old Trafford for United.
"All my family and friends were here - and when I eventually got on, I was just buzzing."
Ferguson:
"We needed a spark and Carlos provided it.
"The second half performance was absolutely superb. We speeded the game up and the flow was much better. There was excellent interplay between the strikers, and it seems to be coming together. While there is still a long way to go, I have a lot of confi dence in this squad."
On Simpson:
"He's so quick and is a tremendous defender. He's improving his technique all the time and he is one of the players that I would not consider going on loan this year because he's valuable to us."
Chris Hutchings [referring to Tevez goal and West Ham rancour last season]:
"What went on in the past we're not interested in.
"He's an excellent player and he took his chance well today. He's very strong physically, he's quick, he's got great ability and a good touch and we didn't deal with that."
