Manchester United v Liverpool Preview
Man Utd manager Alex Ferguson
“We’ve just got on with our job. We’ve kept our dignity throughout and we’re just concentrating on the game.
“They [Liverpool] have said plenty, haven’t they? But we’ve kept our counsel and it’s the right thing to do in these situations. We will keep it that way too.
“Why didn’t they appeal [against Suárez‘s ban]? I think we are better putting that to bed to be honest.
“The way we have carried ourselves, we have just kept our counsel and concentrated on what is important and that is getting the team playing.
“We have so many important issues coming up. We are chasing Manchester City and are on their tails in the league, so we have important issues to concentrate on.”
“I don’t know how he (Giggs) does it. It is a miracle.
“His form this season has been the same as the last five or six. His fitness has been incredible and his appetite to play is just the same. We are all delighted.”
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish
“It is a huge game. Everyone looks forward to it on both sides and it is important for both clubs to get something from the game.”
“For us, we know we are capable of getting something as we’ve done it, we have beaten them twice and drawn once at Anfield so that gives us a bit of encouragement.
“But anything we want from the game we will have to earn it on the day and we will work as hard as we have done to get the previous results and see if we can get success.
“We know what we have had to do in the past. We have the utmost respect for what they have achieved and what they have got and we will do our best to repeat the performances we have put on against them.
“There is a lot you can take into it, but on Saturday you only get out of it what you put into it.
“It is a fantastic place to go and play, but it is even more enjoyable when you walk away with a positive result.”
“We know they’re an excellent side who came back from 3-0 at Chelsea
last week,”
“That will give them a lift even though they only got a point, so we know what we’re up against.”
