MATCH QUOTES

Last updated : 18 March 2007 By Editor

Ronaldo:

"We finished the game in the first half and that's good because we have another game in two days. There's no time to rest, but England is like that. You need to keep going and keep winning."

"It's fantastic. I think I play for the team and I do good assistance for the goals.

"This is what I try to do every game, I try to score goals and try to assist my colleagues, and today I'm happy for that.

"This season I am more mature, I think, and the team I help as well.

"When the team wins, you feel more confident and this is what happens at the moment.

"I feel good, it's great for Manchester United and I want to keep going like that."


Ferguson:

"The determination they've shown gives us a great chance of the title.

"It emphasises the confidence of the team that they weren't deterred even by the injury to Gary Neville, which is a bad blow for us. Cristiano's had an incredible season and his combination with Wayne Rooney for the second goal was tremendous.

"We have played some of our best football of the season against Bolton this season.

"Bolton have worked hard. But what worried them was the quality of our goals. The combination between Ronaldo and Rooney for the second was absolutely magnificent.

"It was a really top performance and Bolton could not do anything about it."


About Ronaldo:

"He's been incredible all season, he's given his all in every game.

"The combination between Ronaldo and Rooney for the second goal was tremendous, the weight of the pass was perfect, but that's what he's all about. There's bound to be speculation about his future, we expect that and we know what Real Madrid and Barcelona are up to, but he's happy here and we are confident he will stay."


Allardyce:

"Ronaldo is stoppable if you want to try - but we didn't.

"I saw Lille double up on him a week ago and restrict him to very little. In general play we were okay but at our set pieces we didn't bother to stop him running.

"We looked fearful and just didn't see where the danger lay.

"If Manchester United use their extra talent to beat us, I will accept that. But they did not have to do that today. We gave them three of their four goals."
