Just with Anthony Martial, the club said it was a muscular tear. Is that going to be a long recovery time for him, or will he be fit for pre-season?
“Yeah, it’s going to be a long one, but how long? We don’t know. We have to do more assessments.”

And just looking ahead to the game on Saturday. It’s going to be difficult for you with selections. There are going to be certain players who are going to be disappointed. When will you have those conversations? Will you have those conversations with players who will have to be left out of the squad for Saturday?
“Yes, of course. There will be always be disappointed [players], about the start XI [and] for the bench. But I think it’s a normal process in Manchester United and we have to deal with it. The players have to deal with it, the squad have to deal with it. And so I make the choices.”

Having worked with Pep [Guardiola] when you were at Bayern Munich 2, what insight can you give us that makes him so special?
“Oh, I don’t tell. Obviously, we have seen what he’s doing. He is doing a brilliant job and what he can do. He can construct teams, not only in winning teams, but also he’s winning in a very attractive way. So that’s why I think we all admire him.”
