For Manchest United, every cup is very important. A trophy is a trophy.

When I was a child, the FA Cup was one of the crown jewels of the sporting year, along with the Grand National, Wimbledon and The Open. But with every announcement it seems to lose another piece of its identity. First it was sponsors added to the name, followed by the semi-finals at Wembley.

It doesn't matter if it is the League Cup, the FA Cup, or the Europa League. We want to do our best to try and win them all.

To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.

This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.

What is the point of competing for a trophy if everyone gets a trophy?

This is why cup finals are so special because on the day anyone can beat anyone. That's what it's all about and that's why for me the FA Cup and the Carling Cup are the best cups in the world. That's the beauty of the cup.

With United, we'd all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.

You have to win and especially, as I have, you have to win a trophy for the first time.

We have never seen a sport as a business, and we have this great passion for football. QPR are not a trophy asset. If we had wanted a trophy asset, there were more glamorous clubs we could have bought.
