Last updated : 28 December 2003 By Editor

“I am more pleased for Nicky than any other member of the
side,” said Ferguson. “He has been a great servant to this
club and I know he has been feeling a bit down recently, so
it was great to see him respond like that.

“You can't keep saying to players they will get their
chance. Phil Neville has had a sensational season and it is
very difficult to leave him out. Nicky has been waiting in
the wings but I am sure he understands the situation.”
