Okay the manger's here to take your questions on the game, if you'd like to start
That was as convincing a display as we've probably see this season you do you agree?
Yeah I think it's our best performance of the season
of course you can go back to the Chelsea
game but tonight I thought we or today
the reaction after they scored as well
was fantastic and we've sometimes
this season asked for when you get one
up or two up and go for the next one and
how it didn't end up five six seven I
don't know or we don't know the players
don't know but exhilarating
sorry and entertaining and great to
see that they enjoyed themselves the boys
What do you think it will do for your players?
You know these six weeks or whatever it
has been since the international break when
we started against Liverpool we've had
five wins and the defeat after the
Liverpool game of course the Bournemouth
game was disappointing but we've had
loads of answers to what we're trying to
do and if they don't get confidence from
this I don't know what to tell them
Williams had...
Ah Brandon is he was excellent
he has played well before of course
the first start at Old Trafford or in
the Premier League game it's always you
don't know how he's gonna react but he's
he seems like he was looking forward to it
I told him on Thursday that just
look forward looking forward to this one
I thought it was more fair to him when
he's playing in his first game that he
didn't play on Thursday so excellent performance
In terms of the captain you made Maguire captain, De Gea's done it in the
past when Ash has not played do you see that
as going forward that is liking to be your choice as captain?
Harry is captain material so is David he's David's been
here and done it many many times but I
think Harry's come in and been excellent
in a dressing room and on the pitch and
that was the decision and yeah
he can certainly become a long-term one
Fred has had a difficult career here this far but he seems to be growning into confidence and how.. he was good today?
Yeah the more confident you get confidence from
playing games he's not really had a run
of games regular and I think he set us
off today with his midfield play he won
the ball we had to get after them
because Pröpper and Stephens in midfield
we couldn't let them get on the ball and
I thought Fred was maybe the catalyst
in that so excellent maybe a couple of fouls
he shouldn't have made in the first half
to give him chances because that was
their one of the big opportunities they
had set plays but yeah
You've had two big wins and scored a lot of goals this week
Do you feel like it's kind of a turning point possibly this week has been a turning point
because you've advanced in the Europa League you've got a big win here
Yeah but then then again we've got a
it's been great these two games with
lots of attacking play we should have
had more goals but intentions are there
they're going forward attacking
enjoying themselves I think quite a few
of the fans that have been here young
boys maybe I've been here the last two
games thinking I want to be like "I want to be like
Williams, I want to be like Martial,
I want to be like Rashford" but these
are young boys ourselves so it's still
gonna be ups and downs and today was a
definitely a game where you start
off on the front foot you get your
confidence and then it's just how many
are we gonna get that's the feeling I got
You want to nurture young players you said you're doing that with Mason but with
Brandon would you have any qualms about giving him a lengthy run in the side
because obviously with Luke out and he seems to have done enough to almost
He's done nothing wrong since he's come into
the team so he's making it hard for me
to leave him out definitely he's been
he's really really impressed me I have
to say so yeah he's definitely making it
hard to leave him out
That was the youngest side in the Premier League this season of any team so how proud of you of that?
Well that's not an aim in itself but that's
it just says a little bit about what
we're doing of course when Ash's not
playing he and Brandon plays for him
it's it helps but they're
They're performing they're learning they're
gonna get they've had some tough
lessons and it seems like they've
learned from it I was very pleased for
Andreas as well he's had his critics but
his energy and endeavour and his will
to do his best for the team he
deserved a goal
Four yellow cards in the first half you just said that it's
very difficult with your pacy players to
keep them not to tackle them like that
do you have to work with your players
well not to react because they were
clipped down there?
well I think yeah but I think they've been excellent the
attitude and behaviour you know
Dan James for example and Marcus they get
used to getting kicked and to not react
is the right.. you just get up see Brandon
today a couple of tackles he's up again
and next one you know you don't want to
show them you're hurt
Ole can I ask about Scott McTominay he went off at the end looking in quite a lot of pain, how is he after the game?
He went over on his ankle so it's a painful one
sometimes that's I've had one I was out
for eight weeks but then again sometimes
you have one and here you're back in two
weeks I don't know he's in for a scan
tomorrow and then we'll have to see he's
with the ice there so but it looked
painful Scotty's not one for rolling
rolling round or it didn't really roll
around because that's probably the
sign that is injured all the players that
keeps the rolling and you're not really
injured then are ya
Just on Dan James has he exceeded expectations he's been a hell of a signing so far?
Fantastic signing Dan's
he made an impact straightaway I think I
told you about this first session when
he run 50 yards back chased it won the
ball off Anthony and then went forward
and scored 10 seconds later and his
attitude and how they say his work rate
is fantastic it's not changed at all
he's still the same kid but his
performances are getting better and better
he's getting used to this level and he's
one of them that never seems fazed by
anything some very pleased by him how
he's not scored or had a few assists
today I think he'll go to bed worrying
about but very pleased with him
Did Marcus explain how he missed that? Scoring scruffy goals
Scruffy goals I don't know how he missed
it I've not seeing it again but you're
you're surprised when it doesn't go in
The second goal was set piece goal and
scruffy goal is that extra pleasing?
Of course but that's Scott being in there but it
was a proper own goal
McTominay won't go on international duty will he?
He's in the scan tomorrow so I don't think he will go no but they'll be between the doctor and...
