THREE REDS FOR BOBBY

Last updated : 28 May 2003 By Editor

Sir Bobby Charlton has picked four United players in his 'Mastercard Champions League 2003 XI'. They are David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

And ahead of the final he had this to say:

'Most people in Manchester will be thinking it could have been us,'

'The only thing that stopped us was the performance in Madrid. Even then we scored five goals against them and still got knocked out.

'It's frustrating but it has gone now and we have to look forward to tomorrow.

'I think it will be more open than most people think because the Italian clubs are getting more adventurous.

'They can still defend when they have to but it's not ultra-defensive any more and some of the players are world class on any stage.

'I think Juventus will win because they have won the Scudetto and have looked really impressive over the last few weeks.
