"There are some people in the game who do try and provoke others but Ruud is not one of them and every player at every other club knows it,"

"Obviously Arsenal were aggrieved with the referee's decisions but you have to abide by them. We will let them talk, we will just get on with our football and in that sense, nobody at this club will be blaming Ruud for the fact we didn't win the game, he has bailed us out far too often for that."

"Last year, Ruud was one of the major reasons why this club won the league, he will probably go down in history as one of the best players ever to play for Manchester United.”

"He has missed a couple of penalties this season but that is part of the game. The next time he gets a chance, I'm sure he will put it away and that will spur him onto another good run."
