Papers: Reds will turn the screw

Ryan is champion at the bit

Ryan Giggs has warned Arsene Wenger Manchester United are ready to turn the screw in their Champions League crunch tomorrow. United warmed up for their semi-final second-leg clash against Arsenal with an easy win at Middlesbrough on Saturday. And wing ace Giggs, 35, said: “We’ve got our noses in front for Tuesday, but Arsenal are a quality side. They create chances but we hope that we’ll create chances, too. We will try and score and make it difficult for them. In the end it was quite straightforward at Boro and that was ideal for us with a massive game coming up. It has set us up nicely. We wanted the momentum we currently have to carry on into the Arsenal game and that’s what we’ve got. A professional performance, a clean sheet, two goals and now we go into Tuesday full of confidence.” - Steve Brenner, The Sun

The Sun also quotes Sir Alex Ferguson on the possible outcome at Arsenal - "It could even go to penalty kicks" - and one of the difficulties of being a manager - "The horrible part of football is you fall in love with your players. A time comes when you see a deterioration (in players) and you know you have to make the change. A lot of people can’t do it.”

Theo Walcott represents Arsenal's point of view in The Times. The winger, described by the newspaper as "one of several Arsenal players who failed to do themselves justice" in the first leg, is quoted as saying: "United is the biggest game of our careers. It’s massive and I think we can do it as well. It was quite difficult to get into the game last week. I think a lot of the attacking players could say that. We didn’t create any chances, other than a few bits and pieces. Hopefully we can create some chances on Tuesday."
