UNITED KEY TO ENGLAND SUCCESS
"Some people maybe surprised by the way Nicky has played but I feel he has been absolutely magnificent,everybody who you speak to at United tells you what a great player he is and he has proved that on the biggest stage of all. He is a quiet type of player, who just likes to do his job.He is the perfect complement for Paul Scholes and without doubt they will be central to England's plans in the coming years."
On Beckham he adds;
"David did well without ever bringing the house down but is still young enough to get better and better and he will have chances in the coming years,"
