Patrice Evra said: "we deserve the point" at white hart lane..

-
 “You need to be honest,” Evra told MUTV. “It was a good point because Tottenham played very well. It’s not easy to come to Tottenham and win so I think this is a good point. Although Patrice Evra insists United went to White Hart Lane to win, the Frenchman was pleased to leave with a point.
The Reds and Tottenham Hotspur played out an entertaining 0-0 draw on Sunday afternoon, with the home side creating more chances but United creating the better ones.
Twice Heurelho Gomes was forced into full-length saves from Wayne Rooney shots, while Edwin van der Sar barely broke sweat at the other end.
But while Spurs struggled to make an impact in the final third, they bossed the midfield for long periods and generally looked the most likely side to score.

Sir Alex Salutes his side "Back four"

With Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand outstanding in the centre of defence, aided and abetted by full-backs Rafael and Patrice Evra, plus defensive midfielder Michael Carrick, Edwin van der Sar scarcely had a shot to save. Sir Alex Ferguson was highly satisfied to depart White Hart Lane with a valuable point, and quickly heaped praise on the manner with which his side kept Tottenham at arm’s length throughout. “It was a tough game,” Sir Alex told Sky Sports. “ Tottenham are in great form but they really didn’t make many chances against us. We take credit for that. I thought our defenders were particularly good. Defensively we kept our nerve. “They never really troubled us. Considering the goals they’ve scored, at home particularly, and the performances they’ve shown at home, I think we can take real credit for that. “I thought we were a bit careless with our use of the ball, particularly in the period just before half-time and in periods of the second half, but it’s a ...

Neville: Why I retired

-
Gary Neville sat down for an exclusive interview with MUTV to talk about his decision to retire, and to look back on some of his best moments in his career. In the first of a three-part serialisation of that interview, Gary explains how he came to make his decision... You caught a lot of people by surprise, can you take us through the chain of events that led to your announcement? It wasn’t just on the day; something like that doesn’t come as immediately as that. It’s been a combination of events over the last few months and I’ve known for the last few weeks having spoken to the manager. You don’t go and do something like that so quickly. I went away for a week and still came to the same conclusion: it just felt like the right thing to do and that my time was up. When your time’s up, your time’s up. You could have played until the end of the season. Why stop mid-season? Sometimes you just go off gut instinct, it’s the type of person I am. I felt it was right....

Dimitar Berbatov

Dimitar Berbatov B erbatov was born in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria . His father was a professional footballer with local outfit Pirin Blagoevgrad, and his mother Margarita was a professional handball player. Dimitar Berbatov is a classy and complete centre-forward, pairing the ability to ruthlessly and regularly find the net inside the box with the aptitude to create moments of sheer magic outside it. Sir Alex likes players with plenty of charisma in the way they play, and the Bulgarian’s languid style is instantly recognisable on the field. It’s also an approach that has drawn comparisons with former United talisman Eric Cantona. Like the captivating Frenchman, Berbatov loves to entertain with the ball at his feet, and he also shares Cantona's happy knack for scoring important (often late) goals. Berbatov started out at Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia. He joined The Armymen aged 17, following in the footsteps of his father, Ivan, who also played for the club.He was...
