Speak, Erik ten Hag!
Speak, Eddie Howe!
He [Lewis Miley] got a taste for top-level soccer from a very early age, which can only be good for him. If he was a different kind of character, I might question that, but he's not. He's able to take everything in his stride, as you've seen from his performances. For someone so young, he has a very good outlook on professional sport and life. He's very calm, polite and respectful, but very keen to show off his qualities. He has obvious qualities that he has demonstrated in the last two games.
Sven is not training with us at the moment. He is slowly increasing his load after his knee injury. He's reacting very well to the work he's doing. We hope that continues. He's a great player for us. We hope that Sean and Joe are not long-term injuries. We're hopeful that we can get them back. The problem is that even two or three weeks at this stage feels like a lifetime with the amount of games we've had in that period.
You can never underestimate Manchester United's qualities. They are a very good team and have exceptional individuals. They have a very good head coach who leads them, so first and foremost we have total respect for our opponents. They've won a lot of games recently and are performing well.
For us, after the Chelsea game, we need to try and maintain the momentum and energy of our recent performances, I think it will be a very good game."

There are updates, then Ty Malacia, he had surgery and will be back in a short time. I think, from the new year, he could be available. It's very good that Luke Shaw returned this week. We're happy about that and the others too, they're working hard to get back into the team as soon as possible.
If you look closely, you'll see that he's the second best goalkeeper in the Premier League, based on the statistics. His expected goalkeeping is the second best in the Premier League. So yes, he's doing well, but he also knows that in the Champions League he made some mistakes. But overall, in the first five months, he's doing particularly well.
You said: very well, how well we played on Wednesday. We played very well. In Copenhagen we played very well and even at Bayern Munich we played very well. We have to do a few things better, eliminating individual mistakes. Also things in transition, but we can sort that out. I'd be more worried if we didn't play so well.
You also know because you've seen how he [Onana] is reacting after a bad performance, as he did after Munich. Then, against Burnley, he stood out. He's a strong character, a personality and he'll deal with it.
I really respect them because they're a difficult team to play against. It's a good challenge and I like playing against them because, in the challenge, you have to rise to the occasion. We have to give our best against them because, as I said, the way they play is very good and very organized."
"We have a lot of options, but we have to manage the players' load. It's also a question of freshness. Mason Mount is returning to the [training] field today, but I don't know how long it will be before he returns [to play]. I can't say at the moment.
