Fergie:
"On that form, Ryan is a sensational player.
"He has spent 14 years running up and down that left wing and maybe we expect too much of him at times.
"You have to take into account the injuries he has had and the amount of rehabilitation he has had to do. It really takes it out of you, which is why I am so pleased with his performance."
SAF was equally impressed with Keano:
"Roy was starting to show a bit of tiredness at the end but his desire and hunger gets him through. He wanted to play, which I was happy about and I thought he was superb."
Pleat:
We felt we had a chance today and I thought United were getting nervous at times in the second half.
"But Roy Keane was so important for them. He has so much character and he wanted the ball in the second half.
"People have been saying a lot of things about Manchester United recently but not many teams operate to the same high standard as they do.
"The problem for them is that of the three teams at the top, they are having their blip first but I'm pretty sure they will still win a lot more games than they will lose."
Roy Carroll:
"It's nice to come back with a clean sheet.
"Everyone worked very hard.
"I didn't know I was in until this morning so I'm very happy to be playing.
"Hopefully there's more around the corner - I've just got to work hard in training and do well in matches.
"He (Ferguson) hasn't said anything to me like that (about playing the next three games) so I've got to do my best and hopefully do it.
"Tim has done well this season but I had a chance today and that's what I wanted.
"I'm always ready to come in and do my job."
