PRAISE FOR FANS

Last updated : 07 November 2005 By editor

Ferguson was quick to praise the response of the fans.

"I think maybe a turning point for us today was the support. I think the support showed how much they care for the club.

"Caring for the club is done in different ways, and that support today was magnificent.

"We've had it over the years at certain games like Arsenal at home last year, when we played Juventus here a few years ago it was unbelievable and tonight it was unbelievable.

"I think if they are like that all the time we can't let them down, we don't want to let them down, so therefore it does raise the ante for us, it does put the players under great pressure to do well."

Much more difficult to criticise someone who says you are wonderful.
