We certainly believe he will be staying with the club next year. He signed a new long-term contract and there is two further years to go on that. He is part of our squad which we are looking to improve in the summer.
We are very confident that we will reach an agreement to extend Ryan's stay at Old Trafford.
What the clubs would like to do is look at the actual format of the Champions League run by UEFA.
We chased it but if you are after a winger you look at maybe three but you only need one. So if you don't get number one you move onto number two.
The St. Paul Police Department was simply too close to this investigation to get it right. However, that's no excuse for getting it wrong.
I wanted it very white, so I created this white leather headboard and base, which in fact leads all around it. So when you light it up, it transports you, it lifts you up.
You f***** us over big-time, Gill I cant believe you sold us out.
We are still the most profitable club in the world. We have nothing to hide. We are transparent and publish our figures when no other Premier League club does.
The transfer market has changed. In the whole of Europe last year there were only five transfers in excess of /10m if you exclude Chelsea.
We had to support our player and genuinely felt, like Rio has said, that it was an honest mistake. It is important to know that Manchester United never said, and Rio Ferdinand never said, that a mistake hadn't been made.
We have our budget set for the summer and that won't change.
We genuinely believe to this day that it was an honest genuine mistake and we never imagined the punishment would be eight months. The precedent dictated that it was unlikely to be that. We don't regret he played for that period.
We have a very strong balance sheet. We are very comfortable we are generating cash. We can compete successfully in the transfer market.
We've given them a date and it would be nice if it could happen. Everyone at the club, particularly the supporters, would like to pay tribute to Roy after everything he's done for us.
