I have put a lot of pressure on myself coming here. For me it is no different managing FC Twente to managing England or to managing Middlesbrough, there is always pressure. And everyone is always looking at you to deliver results.

I understand that United are strong and that Cristiano Ronaldo is having an incredible season. Hopeful signs But there are two weeks until our tie with United and I also think that if you watched their recent Premier League match against Middlesbrough [FC – a 2-2 draw] you can see that if you press United and you attack them with energy then you can score ... Let's wait and see how the ties go – I don't mind if people want to predict that United will be better than us.

They were always sharp and motivated and defended very well and we didn't create enough chances to win the game ... In the first half in midfield we were dominated and not strong or quick enough and we suffered. We tried very hard into the last second of the game, but we could not score.
