Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wesley Sneijder commented on the team's form following their 1-2 victory over Hamburg.
Sneijder:
“We are physically fit and we have now begun playing teams more on our level. It's important that we win these matches because they boost our morale and confidence heading into the Super Cup.”
“I felt good out there, but there's more tomorrow. The match against Arsenal should be interesting. They are a tough team and also in great form.”
Van Nistelrooy:
“It was a good day for us. We didn't just beat a team who is about to start its season, but we also feel better each day.”
“We are feeling good after all the work done in Austria. It was a tough eleven days, but we start playing official matches soon and the Super Cup is the first title at stake.”
“The rivalry in England is incredible. A Manchester-Arsenal match is similar to a Madrid-Barça match, which is why the crowd here whistled at me more than anyone else.”
