'We got a surge of energy in the second half and, in the last 25 minutes, we got on top and scored from two set-piece plays.' - ALAN CURBISHLEY, manager of West Ham, who beat Manchester United 2-1 at Upton Park in December

'If you let players like Cristiano Ronaldo have the ball, they are too good. You have to be aggressive and keep the team very compact. That is the secret, but keep it a secret, okay?' - SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON, manager of Manchester City, who beat United 1-0 at Eastlands in August and repeated the trick at Old Trafford in February

'The players and the crowd responded, and that's why we won. Whenever any team comes up against United, it is their biggest game of the season.' - GARY MEGSON, manager of Bolton, who beat United 1-0 at the Reebok Stadium in November
