MANAGER QUOTES
Philip Cocu: “Everybody is looking forward to this game. It is prestigious and the stakes are high – it is important. United have a lot of individual quality, they are experienced and they are a top football team. You can see the hand of Louis van Gaal. Our intention is to go for the win, but we will not be naive. Our initial aim, however, is to try to win.”
Louis van Gaal: “I don’t think it will be hostile. In PSV, the board are friends of mine. They were also my board at AZ Alkmaar, I know them very well and also Memphis is going back. He was a great player for PSV, so I don’t think it’ll be hostile for him. They want to win, they want to beat us and it is extra motivation for PSV. We have to manage that. I know a lot of players personally, so for us it’s a meeting with old friends.”
