Owen Hargreaves says Dynamo Kiev were "afraid" of Manchester United when they met in Ukraine two weeks ago.

United romped to a 4-2 win in Kiev, completing one of the easiest European away triumphs during Sir Alex Ferguson's stint in charge.

"Dynamo seemed a bit afraid of us in Kiev," said the England midfielder.

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has only one fear - flying.

"I'm starting to get more worried each time I fly," he said. "My wife isn't very good on planes and the more travelling I do with her the more she makes me nervous."

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic says he's become a better player working alongside his star teammates.

Vidic says training with players like Rooney, Anderson, Ronaldo, Nani, Tevez and Saha has helped him become a better player.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has taken a swipe at Arsenal's foreign policy.

Fergie said: "It's not wrong that you should be seen to have a proportion of home-based players.

"It would be a problem for a club like Arsenal. That's why they'll protest the loudest. United's critics would say 'It's all right for you, you already have English players in your side'.

Owen Hargreaves felt Manchester United did 'a good job' in controlling Arsenal's 'beautiful football' at Emirates Stadium.

Saturday's battle between the Premier League's top two ended in a 2-2 draw, with William Gallas scoring a dramatic late equaliser for The Gunners.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he makes sure all his new signings quickly get up-to-speed on the rich history of the club.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with the performance of Louis Saha off the bench for yesterday's 2-2 draw at Arsenal.

Saha helped create Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the draw and Ferguson told MUTV: "I had the strongest bench that we've had all season, that's encouraging for us.

Rio Ferdinand says his partnership with Manchester United defensive teammate Nemanja Vidic is the best he's ever been involved in.

"I think it is the most comfortable partnership I have ever had," said Ferdinand. "It is the most consistent and most productive. We have been playing week in week out for the last 18 months and I have never really had that long before with the same person.

William Gallas equalised in injury-time to salvage a draw and keep Arsenal on top of the Premier League after an absorbing clash with Manchester United.

The opening 45 minutes proved an anti-climax until Gallas diverted Rooney's tame shot in on the stroke of half-time.

Ferguson also paid tribute to Carlos Tevez, who despite struggling to learn English is letting "the football language talk".

Tevez is being given private tuition at home to improve his English and Ferguson said he is working hard.
