What Managers Say

Mark Bowen (Asst Manager): "Whenever you play Manchester United it's difficult but with Mata, van Persie and Rooney coming back into the fold we've had a few sleepless nights this week. But that's why we're in the game; Premier League games at home to Manchester United get the juices flowing for everybody."

David Moyes: "We need to give Juan Mata time to settle in and not get too far ahead of ourselves too quickly. The one good thing is that because he has Premier League experience and being in the league and being at a big club, coming here should be a little easier."
