Fergie:

“Congratulations to Sporting for the great performance and
for the great stadium. We had to travel a long way to get
here and I can't say I was surprised, I was expecting that.
Sporting played very well."

Ferguson had praise too for Eric Djemba-Djemba who played
his first United match last night:

“He played very well in first half and although he was
weaker after the break I'm satisfied.”
