Beye Waves Goodbye!

Habib Beye: "It has been frustrating, but I have coped with times like this in Marseille.

"Two years ago, we had a similar run with Marseille, but we came through it and finished second in the table the next season.

"It can change - you just have to work together. Everybody has to work hard and aim for good results.

"I will leave on Monday for the African Nations Cup, but I am looking forward to playing first in the FA Cup, and that's what I am focused on.

"The FA Cup is important for the fans of course, but I am hoping to do well in this.

"When I was at Marseille, I reached two finals but lost.

"It is good for the club to do well in the FA Cup, and the city. We would love to be in the final at Wembley.

"Of course, we have to beat Stoke first and that will get the confidence levels high again for Manchester United a week later."
