REFEREE
Mike Dean (Wirral)
West Ham boss Alan Cubishley:
"The pressure is on Man Utd as they have to win it. "The fans
should be looking forward to seeing some great players, getting
behind us and hoping we can produce the same result as we did last
year when we beat them."
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson on Wayne
Rooney:
"Strikers do go on little runs. "Against Sunderland it was his
first goal for six games, but his goals have come in waves. "When
he got his recent injury, he was out for nearly a month and since
then, he has been gradually getting towards what we saw of him
against Sunderland."
