Manchester United defender Phil Jones on Channel 5: "We got a good start from a nice finish by Chicharito but we weren't at our best tonight. We seemed to be in control of the game and we should have won it but maybe some complacency crept in. We'll review our performance tomorrow and take it from there.

Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson: "I'm responsible for picking the team and I just had too many young players in the back four out there tonight. That was just too much of a risk. Ajax are what they are - a fantastic team in terms of keeping possession of the ball. But we only had one shot on goal in the second half."

Yes Wazzzaaa! Great ball from Youngy.

Sir Alex Ferguson on Manchester United's 3-1 win over Tottenham: "We needed the second goal to get some cohesion in the game. It was a miracle that we went in at half-time 1-0 ahead. But the second goal killed it for Tottenham. The third goal was tremendous - no keeper would have saved that."

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp:

"I thought we were outstanding for 65 minutes. We bossed the game and how we came in 1-0 down at half-time, I couldn't believe it. It was soul destroying.
"They are a great side but we made them look ordinary. We pressed them in midfield and stopped them from playing. We dominated them.
"Brad Friedel hasn't had to make a save but we've conceded three goals. They got the breaks. I couldn't fault the efforts of our players. The first two goals we didn't pick people up and it's basic."

On the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas:

"It's a shame for the lad losing his job, you don't want to see anyone do that. He'll bounce back, it won't be the end of his career. He's got many many years in him yet."

Sir Alex Ferguson on Andre Villas-Boas's dismissal: "The lad's been under pressure but what you need in this job is time. His record at Porto shows he has got potential. But Chelsea was a big ask."
