…there must be a reason for the lack of goals.
Rio Ferdinand, "I don't think we would swap Wayne and Ruud van Nistelrooy for anybody in the world. Wayne can do almost anything he wants do, he has had a fantastic impact here and that is there for everyone to see, and not just for Man United for England as well. The future looks very, very bright for him.
"Ruud is just a natural-born goalscorer and we wouldn't change those two for anybody - it's just getting a case of getting the rub of the green in the right areas. Our destiny is in our hands now. We would rather be in this position where we know what we have to do rather than wait for the results to come in and rely on other teams. We have to rely on our own performance and our own resolve to make sure that we get through to the next round - and that's imperative."
