Cristiano Ronaldo
We showed this season that we are the best team in Europe and in England and it’s a great feeling. Next season we will try to do the same. I feel very proud. It means everything to me - it is the happiest day of my life.
Nemanja Vidic
The game against Manchester City [which marked the 50th anniversary of the Munich air crash] was very disappointing and we still remember that. But I think we made up for it in Moscow and by winning the league and gave the fans what they wanted.
Edwin van der Sar
Of course, nights like this are what you dream of. It’s been 13 years – a long time – since I last won the competition and it feels fantastic, especially in the way we won it. It was the last penalty – saving it - I don't have any words for it. What can I say? It's great.
Rio Ferdinand
I said before the game that you’re only really considered a great player at this club when you win the Champions League. There have been a lot of top players to play for the club, but to be revered by the fans and everyone associated with United by becoming a European champion sets you apart from others.Wayne RooneyI hope we can win it again. Doing it this year has given us a taste for it and we want to do well again next season. We’ve got some great young players in the squad mixed with experience, so hopefully we can do well again.
Michael Carrick
When you take a penalty you’ve got to have the belief in yourself that you’re going to score and obviously hope for the best! You know there is always someone who’s going to have to miss and you pray it’s not you.
Carlos Tevez
It has been a long time since I felt like this - it's a huge emotion in my heart. When I was a child, I never thought I would be now lifting the cup, but dreams usually come true and I am very, very happy."
Countless column inches are devoted to United's 17th title triumph, with Cristiano Ronaldo and record-equalling winger Ryan Giggs taking all the plaudits for the victory at the JJB Stadium.
Ahead of the Reds' Champions League clash with second-placed Chelsea, Blues skipper John Terry insists he will be fit to play in Moscow, despite dislocating an elbow against Bolton. Striker Didier Drogba, who suffered a knee injury, is more of a doubt.
The Daily Mail sees fit to look ahead to next season, speculating that United could be reinforced by the summer signing of Micah Richards, who is apparently considering his future at Manchester City.

WE ARE IN THE FINAL !!!!! YEAHHHHH
MANCHESTER UNITED 1 : 0 BARCELONA
Rio Ferdinand praised United for "digging deep" to get past Barcelona and reach the Champions League final on Tuesday night.
A wonderful Paul Scholes goal gave United the lead, but some valiant defending was needed to stave off Barcelona's challenge.
"We had to dig deep in the end, but we feel we did enough to get there," Rio admitted after the game.
"We had to show discipline, quality in the goal from Paul Scholes - and what a goal! - and then resilience. We stuck together and we're there now."
Ferdinand and Wes Brown were rocks at the centre of a resilient defence.
United will play either Liverpool or Chelsea in the final, but Rio insists he doesn't care who the Reds' opponents are.
"I don't care who we face in the final," he added. "We're there and that's all that matters."

Barcelona 0 : 0 Manchester United
"Today I didn't score," he told Sky Sports. "No problem, now I'm going to score in Manchester. Nil-nil is a good result. Of course, if you score a goal it is better for us. We didn't score, but 0-0 is good.
"It was a tough game, Barcelona played very well and kept the ball a lot. But I think we defended very well and we played well too. I think 0-0 away is a good result.""Now we're playing at home, and I think we're going to win," he said. "The team feels good confidence, we played very well, we play at home now and we have a great chance."
Barcelona striker Thierry Henry admits United are currently "flying" ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final.Henry, once hailed as "the greatest striker ever" by Arsene Wenger, claims to be indifferent about facing old foes United.
"I'm neither happy nor unhappy [about playing United]. I just think this is the team we're going to play in the semi-final, and if we want to reach the final we have to beat them. I think they will be two good games of football, though, because they have the same kind of approach to the game that we have."Both teams hold an unbeaten record in this year's Champions League campaign and you can guarantee neither team will easily sacrifice that statistic.He gave little away as to how he, and indeed Barcelona, will approach the game but coolly pointed out United have not been unbeatable in their race for the Barclays Premier League."At the moment they're flying, but you never know in football. Hopefully they will have a bad day when we play them. You know how it is in the Champions League – one bad day and you're gone."
Blackburn Rovers 1 : 1 Manchester United
"I think we have a great chance of making the final," he said. "The injury situation is good and everybody is doing a job when they come into the side. I think we can do it and I hope we’ll be in Moscow.
"It’s easy to come into the side and play because everyone’s playing well and we all know our roles. It’s easy to step into this team and enjoy your football when you’re on the pitch."
BORO 2 : 2 RED DEVILS
Posted On Sunday, April 6, 2008 at at 5:28 PM by kaunghtoomaung"They had some chances and our defending was a bit haphazard at times."But on the other side of it, we could have won the game. Some of our football was terrific and we looked very strong and in control when we took the lead."Wayne Rooney was wrongly flagged offside when he was clean through just after that and when they got their equaliser it became a great game of football."It was end-to-end and both teams deserve great credit for producing a performance like that at this stage of the season."
"The nature of our football club is we never give in and that's a great quality to have at this time of year," he insisted."It could turn out to be an important point and our goal difference is very good as well. But we can't take anything granted.
"I said some weeks ago that the most consistent team will win it and hopefully it turns out to be us."
It's not Man U News , just for fun !

Why I fired my Secretary.
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning.
I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,"Happy Birthday!", and possibly have a small present for me.
As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone " Happy Birthday."
I thought...
Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids... They will remember.
My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word.So when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.
As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, "Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday ! "It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.
I worked until one o'clock , when Jane knocked on my door and said, "You know, It's such a beautiful day outside,and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me."I said, "Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go !"
We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go.She chose instead at a quiet bistro with a private table.We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.
On the way back to the office, Jane said, "You know, It's such a beautiful day... We don't need to go straight back to the office,Do We ?"
I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind ?"She said, "Let's drop by my apartment, it's just around the corner." After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, " Boss, if you don't mind,I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment.I'll be right back." "Ok." I nervously replied.
She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake ...Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy Birthday".
And I just sat there...
On the couch...
Naked.
