MORE TROPHIES

Neville first:

"This team has potential.

"We are not at our peak yet but I have no doubt we will get there in the next couple of years or so.

"I have no doubt either the manager will add to the squad this summer.

"If you look at the midfield, we have been absolutely decimated. We have lost Paul Scholes, Quinton Fortune and Alan Smith, and we also lost Roy Keane. You cannot account for losing so many class players in one area.

"That is why I imagine there will be additions to what we feel is already a strong squad."

"It is 18 months since we won the FA Cup but you would think it is 10 years the way some people have been going on.

"We understand the criticism comes from being out of Europe and a long way behind Chelsea in the Premiership.

"There have been difficult moments over the past year or so but it is not as if the lads are not desperate to win matches.

"But people have to understand this is a developing team, which has not yet reached its capabilities.

"As the younger players get older, they will start to gain greater consistency. Now, they also have the confidence of winning a trophy and the thought process which makes you want to do it again and again, which is what this club demands.

"There are only four trophies to be won and we have won one of them. But we all know where we need to be. It is the European Cup and the league championship, that is what Manchester United is all about."


Rooney:

"Picking up the medal was the best feeling I’ve ever had in the whole of my career.

"Now it would be great to get another medal this season — at the World Cup with England."


Giggs:

"I certainly hope this squad can emulate the `Class of 92'.

"We have got a relatively young team and what this victory has done is give players who have not won a trophy a taste of success.

"The build-up to the final, getting to the final, seeing the crowds in the stadium and eventually winning it, makes you want it more and more. Hopefully it will happen with these players."
