WOLVES ARE NO PUSHOVERS

Rio Ferdinand told MUTV that Wolves will not be an easy ride
for United tonight:

"No points are there before the game has been won. We have
to go out and earn the right to win, make sure we play 100%
to our capabilities and make sure we do win. From the
results they have had, they will be disappointed about the
way they have begun the season, but that can all change with
one result and we know they would like to do that at Old
Trafford.

"We have to go out and make sure we play well, let the
football do the talking and get the three points. They have
got experienced players and they are not going to be mugs to
come here and expect to go out and blast us away. They are
probably going to sit and ask us the questions which is what
happened a lot of times last season and hopefully we will
have the answers to that.

"We want Old Trafford to remain the place it is. Teams come
here and don't expect to win, so anything other than a
defeat is a great result for them. If we can keep that going
and Old Trafford remains the fortress it is that is going to
put us in good stead for the title again this season.”

Paul Scholes is looking forward to seeing former United
players Denis Irwin and Paul Ince:

"It will be good to see them again. You don't really keep in
touch with players once they have left the club, but I know
they will be looking forward to playing here again."
