14:16 Paul Scholes is fit. Sir Alex: "We just gave him a day off. We gave him a rest. He was indoors [today]. Paul and Ryan [Giggs] don't train every day. We give them certain days off."
14:12 Sir Alex on Athletic Club manager Marcelo Bielsa: "I haven't met him, but I admire his work. He's managing a very good Bilbao side. They're very determined, organised and have great belief. Those are his hallmarks. He's instilled those qualities into his side. We know it's going to be difficult tomorrow night. It's a very good Bilbao side. Perhaps the best I've seen for some years."
14:08 David De Gea on the criticism he's had this season: "It only serves to make you a strong person, to keep fighting and not get down. It can almost be a positive thing."
14:00 Here we go. Sir Alex says:
- "We were a bit unlucky against Benfica at home but at that point we needed to beat them. It was a disappointment but tomorrow I'm playing a strong team and I hope that makes a difference."
"Ferdinand's form in particular over the last couple of months has been outstanding. It tells you that when you play two players together over long periods, rather than chop and change, it makes a difference. Jonny Evans has benefited there. That's been a plus."
