UEFA have announced that they have opened disciplinary proceedings against Manchester United following Tuesday's contentious loss to Real Madrid.

Phelan, who faced the cameras instead of Ferguson, has backed his players to bounce back against the Blues and continue their quest for silverware. "It won't be a problem lifting them," he said. "Disappointment in football is a part of the game and, as a football club, we've been here before. We'll bring the players together again and have a look at certain things and kick on now. It's very important that we finish the season well." Phelan also spoke about the incentive of helping Ferguson win his fourth league and cup double. He said: "We're in the FA cup still, we've got a great opportunity in the league and I'm sure that will drive the players forward in order to achieve something."
