Ferguson efter matchen
Arsenal var ingen värdemätare för ett starkt United, men Sir Alex var ändå nöjd med vinsten.
Ett decimerat Arsenal hade ingen chans mot ett hemmalag i storform och segersiffrorna 8-2 kunde ha varit större. Pinsamt dåligt försvarsspel av ett svagt och orutinerat Gunnersförsvar. Sir Alex var givetvis nöjd med överkörningen, men insåg även att dagens Arsenal inte var en värdemätare för ett starkt United. Så här sade skotten efter matchen:
"It’s unusual because you don’t expect it. We’ve scored six against them twice in the past, so maybe when we hit form like that somebody suffers. Today it was Arsenal who unfortunately suffered.
We’ve had a couple of big results against them in the past, but when you see Arsenal’s team like that, we do expect to score goals. I felt all their quality was in the forward positions and they were a threat at times. They could have scored more than two goals.
It was a funny game, a strange result but we can only do our jobs and I think the players kept it professional that way and did their best. We’re showing great energy at the moment and great enjoyment in our game, and that’s important.
He's fantastic [Rooney]. He’s thriving in his role of leader of the front players. Welbeck’s young, Hernandez is young, Ashley Young has just joined and Wayne’s thriving in the responsibility and I think that’s important."
Marvellous goals [Young], fantastic. He’s settling in very well, good understanding of the game, great energy, beautiful balance… he has all the assets to be a really top player.
Of course, because he’s a great football man [Wenger]. He’s done an incredible job for Arsenal for 15 years, he’s given them a quality of football that they’ve never experienced. He’s brought some exciting players to his club and he deserves respect for that, especially from myself."
