Boss: We played like champions

Sir Alex Ferguson said his side played like "real champions" in the battling 1-1 draw at Stoke City on Saturday.
The Reds had taken the lead through Nani's brilliant solo effort, but Stoke have already shown this season, against Chelsea and Liverpool, that the visit of the big teams holds no fears for them and they ensured David De Gea had a busy afternoon in the United goal.
Peter Crouch drew the home side level on 52 minutes and in the end Sir Alex felt a point was a fair result.
"I was pleased with the performance from the lads - they battled really hard and played like real champions," he told MUTV afterwards.
"If Stoke were going to score it was probably going to be from a set-piece. They've got some big lads in their team and they do keep you under pressure that way.
"In terms of the attacking part we showed some good play and maybe should have scored more. We've always done well here, but all the changes we had to make today [with injuries to Evans, Hernandez and Rooney] maybe just unsettled us a bit for parts of the game.
"A draw is probably a fair result. It's a difficult place to come to."
The manager was particularly pleased with his goalkeeper's display after a string of top class saves.
"He had a couple of great saves in the first half and looked very confident." added the boss. "He has terrific composure, nothing disturbs him. He just sailed through the game."

Darren Fletcher was satisfied with the pluck and moxie on show in United's battling draw at Stoke City.
While the Scot conceded he and his colleagues were disappointed to surrender a lead and two points, he saw enough positives in the performance to be far from dispirited.
"From being in a winning position and losing a goal from a set-piece obviously we're disappointed not to get all three," Fletch told MUTV. "It's a difficult place to come. There's always a great atmosphere and you know you're in for a physical match, but I think the lads stood up to it today and battled well.
"You've got to enjoy and relish coming here. If you come here with any fear then that will be evident in your performance. You know what to expect, you prepare for it in training and you try your best to deal with it.
"A lot of work goes into preparing for today because Stoke do a lot of work on their set-pieces and they're a real threat from them. If you don't do your homework and prepare well you can be caught badly and I think in general we dealt with it quite well today.
"Ultimately, I think we maybe gave away too many set-pieces and corners and Peter Crouch is going to take advantage of one of them and that's the only disappointing thing we can learn from."
Fletcher, who looks sharper with each outing after the virus which had decimated his involvement during 2011, played a part in United's opener, and he was full of praise for goalscorer Nani.
"It was a fantastic goal and it was the first point in the game where we showed a bit of patience and kept the ball," he said. "Nani played a little one-two and went on and finished it nicely. He's been in great form this season, we've all seen that and long may it continue."
Rooney's injury 'not serious'

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted the hamstring injury which kept Wayne Rooney out of Saturday's draw at Stoke isn't serious, but was reluctant to pencil in a return date for the striker.
Rooney was among three players who suffered injuries in training on Friday, while the Reds' plans were further dented when Javier Hernandez sustained a dead leg after just three minutes at the Britannia Stadium.
"Jonny Evans got an ankle injury in training yesterday," Sir Alex told MUTV. "We had a nightmare of a training session - Evans, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney all got injured. Jonny thought he'd be okay but in the warm-up it was no use. With Chicharito in your team he gives you that penetration and speed, that was a loss."
"It's difficult to say [how long Rooney will be out for]. It's not a serious hamstring injury but I don't think he'll be available for next week. I think he'll be out for more than a week."
Rooney, Carrick, Evans and Hernandez join a lengthy injury list which already includes Nemanja Vidic, Chris Smalling, Rafael, Tom Cleverley and Darron Gibson, although Rio Ferdinand and Danny Welbeck both returned to Premier League action against Stoke.
"We are Manchester United and we dont like to make excuses but it is difficult to come to a place like Stoke with those types of players," admitted Patrice Evra. "We have many players who are not
here tonight."
