Mark Hughes on tomorrow's game.

"I love coming back," Hughes says in Saturday’s United Review, "even if it's just going back to watch games. It’s a special place. I was very fortunate to spend such a long time with United. I’m always grateful."

As United failed to beat Blackburn twice last season Hughes thinks it's more his managerial skills than the lack of United's cutting edge that won them two points.


"Maybe I know what it takes to stop strikers,"

"I know the things that used to frustrate me with good defenders, so maybe there's an element of that.

"Last year we were very good at the back, but just didn’t have that cutting edge. Hopefully, the players we’ve added this year will give us that."
