“I don’t believe a punctuation mark,” Mourinho commented. “Modric and Ronaldo couldn’t say. Ricardo will definitely start in the game. You wait and see.”
Gary Neville said in an interview: “Manchester United this season is very stable and in excellent form. But we cannot underestimate the QPR. Under the leadership of Ricardo and Simone, QPR has only lost 2 games this season.

Therefore, I think Manchester United must first do a good job in this game and first ensure that they do not lose. Losing, the draw is acceptable. “
Ricardo said: “Manchester United has never been an easy opponent. We played in the first leg of this season ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ We ended the draw, which basically reflects the strength comparison between the two sides.
