"To get in the Champions’ League you have to deserve it, and we have to beat them now," he told MUTV. "You can say we belong there but it doesn’t count – we have to show it. We gave it away in the last minute, and it wasn’t necessary at all."

"I thought we would win it 1-0, or it would stay 0-0. But, of course, they scored the goal, and it was a disappointment – but now we have to make up for it at home."

"In the second half Roy Carroll did not have much to do. We had the possession and we controlled the game – but they scored. It’s true that we had a few chances and we have to keep on doing that, and remain focused on what we have to do at Old Trafford. It was hard for us in Budapest, and it will be hard for them at our ground. We still believe in our chances, but we have to learn from this and keep our heads up."
