What they said

A brief look at how those involved reacted to Manchester United's comprehensive 4-0 win over Spurs at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

United boss Alex Ferguson: "Ronaldo was fantastic. The boy has come on great, he's got a courage to play and always wants the ball. In the early part of the match I thought he was a bit careless but he got more of the ball and was more comfortable. He's not the kind of player who can play on the fringes. The scoreline was very good. Winning 4-0 is an exceptional scoreline and in fairness Tottenham had chances."

Spurs manager Martin Jol: "I don't think it was a penalty but Steed Malbranque stuck his foot out and pulled it in again. He [Cristiano Ronaldo] took advantage of that but I don't know. It didn't help. The referee must make a decision, he is a human being. He was standing there with a good view of it. I wouldn't say Ronaldo was diving. It was a difficult situation."

United goalscorer Paul Scholes: "The score said everything, to win 4-0 away from home at a tough place like this is a great result for us. We won it going forward. We thought Chelsea would win yesterday so this weekend we had the more difficult game so to come and win is a big result for us. We'll keep plugging away and hopefully at the end of the season we'll get our just rewards."

Stand-in United keeper John O'Shea, who replaced the injured Edwin van der Sar: "I was very proud and I just asked Edwin if he gets a clean sheet bonus and if so, I want half of it. It was a bit nerve-wracking, especially with a corner to defend straight away and every time they got the ball near the penalty area the crowd kept shouting 'shoot'."
