Fergie:
"Everton were missing a couple of players and that helped us," Ferguson acknowledged. "But what we did today was really professional. We had good discipline and concentration, which you needed on that pitch.
"Any talk about leaving Wayne out of this game was ridiculous. He has to play against Everton at some point, whether it was next month or next season and it is good to get it out of the way.
"Overall, I thought the Everton supporters were pretty fair. There were always going to be boos, but the nature of our game is that former players are always going to come back and play against their old clubs. Players move on. That is what happens."
"Having experienced players helps you in that respect."
"Players like Paul Scholes and Roy Keane in the centre of midfield, they’ve been through that, that doesn’t matter to them at all.
"I think we played professionally, we had good discipline, good concentration because on that pitch you need good concentration and possession of the ball was very good."
A mention on Ronaldo:
"The boy Ronaldo is a fantastic player. The abuse he took today, I don't know how many fouls he had against him and no-one was booked. I don't understand this game, Roy Keane has two fouls and is booked.
"But the boy is persistent and never gives in. He gets up and wants the ball again, he's truly a fabulous player."
Moyes:
"We didn't make enough chances.
"We caused enough problems and we had little bits of play that weren't bad.
"They had more chances than us and we needed Nigel Martyn to make some saves for us. But we have lost from a cross and a deflected free kick which Nigel didn't hold.
"We are disappointed with the way it ended but the performance was fine and the players tried and gave everything they could."
Ian Ross, Everton's communication's director:
"We thought Carroll was hit by a coin thrown by a mindless yob - although the referee also handed in a mobile phone.
"The BBC have made video footage available to the police and CCTV footage is also available. If we catch the culprit, he will be banned for life.
"Everyone knew this was a powder-keg match and we took extra security precautions. We hope the FA takes this into account."
Sports Minister, Richard Caborn after 33 arrests:
"We may well have to rethink the 5.30pm kick-off.
"We know it is done predominately for television, but we might have to reflect on that.
"There are now a lot more people returning to football and it is a minority of fans who are bringing the game into disrepute, and we have to deal with that.
"It is a police decision and for clubs to make sure games which are going to be of some tension to maybe be played earlier in the day.
"We have to learn from these things and have to deal with them collectively."
