[The trip made a deep impression on the England players.] You read about Africa and the suffering that is going on there but you don't understand how bad it is until you get there, ... The one thing that sticks in my mind is that amid all the suffering, the people were so fantastically courageous. They had smiles on their faces most of the time. It was a very, very humbling experience for me. We have to change our outlook towards Africa and try to get something done. |
All our thoughts are with Alan - we've had a bad day all round. |
All our thoughts are with Alan and it has been a very bad day all round. The reaction of the crowd is part of football, you just have to accept it. |
And I know what confidence medals can bring. |
Before games, the smell of burgers wafts down from the stands. |
Coley deserves a great reception. The United fans will respect a great player for this club who scored a bagful of goals. There's bound to be a bit of banter, but Coley played in the European Cup final and the fans won't forget that. |
He won't give me one single second's rest for 90 minutes, |
He'll always be one of the legends of Manchester United, |
He's a fantastic player but I've played against him in training every day this season. |
He's courageous, he's a player who never stops running with a football. If he gets tackled nine times on the bounce, he'll still want the ball the 10th time and believe he can go past you. |
I don't think it is right for us at Manchester United to be talking about winning the European Cup. Over the last few years we have slipped a noose round our own necks by consistently saying we have to win the Champions League because we have not won it since 1999. What we should be doing is concentrating on the Premiership. |
I hope we're going to have him back soon, |
I just hope my brother can score a 40-yard screamer. |
I think he's a special talent. I thought there were glimpses of brilliance before Christmas but after that he has shown everyone at United that he's going to be a world-class player. |
I think the Carling Cup is a big moment for us. |
