Tevez Happy

Carlos Tevez was delighted to net Manchester United's winner against Roma last night - and insists he's happy at Old Trafford.

Quizzed by Italian reporters after the game, Tevez said: "I think the difference has been that Manchester have been a step higher over the two legs. Tactically, we've played very well.

Brown: No Rest

Manchester United defender Wes Brown has warned teammates not to be complacent going into tonight's clash with Roma. United lead 2-0 from the away leg but Wes Brown insists they will not sit back at Old Trafford.

Fergie: More to Come

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has heaped praise on the form and commitment this season of Wayne Rooney.

"First of all he is only 21," said the United boss. "So we are waiting for the completion of his potential.

"Hopefully that will occur in the next two to three years. In Rome he sacrificed his own role to help the team and that is the sign of a great player."

Fergie: Scholes Form Good

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted with the form of Paul Scholes ahead of tonight's clash with Roma.

Scholes has regained top form after a three-and-a-half-month absence with a knee injury and was influential in Rome.

Asked if the unassuming midfielder would be handed the armband, Ferguson quipped: "Paul would regard that as punishment!

VDS: WE Miss Vidic

Edwin van der Sar admits Manchester United are missing crocked defender Nemanja Vidic.

Van der Sar said: "Of course we miss him, he is a very important player for us.

"It is no coincidence that with Vidic absent we had some problems but the players who came in did okay."

Rio Out

Scans have confirmed that Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand did not break his metatarsal at Middlesbrough.

The 29-year-old centre-back, who captained England against France at the end of March, was forced off after 70 minutes of the weekend's 2-2 draw at the Riverside.

Wes: Roo Great too

Wes Brown says Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney deserves as much recognition as teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Wayne has made an excellent contribution to the team," said Brown. "You look at his movement and the way he has set up a lot of goals for Ronny (Ronaldo).

Fergie Worries on Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand has given Sir Alex Ferguson another defensive headache after leaving the Riverside with his foot in a protective case following Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough.

United can ill afford to lose Ferdinand for long with fellow centre-back Nemanja Vidic out for three weeks and some crucial matches coming up in the Premier League and Champions League.
