"The people here want to see the stars. I don't think they understand why I would leave a player like Van Nistelrooy behind. But we don't want them to think we're being blase about having 67,000 people come to see us here and 72,000 in New York. If we bring them over, it will probably be for just half an hour. You may say that's a waste of time for them to come over one day and then go back the next. But they'd fly first class, it's only a 6.5-hour journey, and it may be worth it for our reputation over here."
