Asked about importance of continuing the momentum built
"Of course, it’s very important, players if you lose games you’re determined to win, to bounce back I saw that focus at Newcastle and after you beat PSG gives you more belief and confidence. Two very good performances and results but now it’s the next game and that’s what we’re focused on.
Chelsea’s start is like many of us, some very good games, some lesser performances, football is just settling now and teams are just getting into their shape. We know it’s gonna be a tough game against Chelsea, we had maybe four or five games against them last year, two teams that know each other really well."
Van De Beeks chances
"Donny’s fit enough but of course it’s competition for places, it’s giving him time to settle in and adjust to his new teammates, it’s a new league."
“He’s an absolutely top footballer and personality, so humble and hard-working but also, of course, eager to play more. You’ll see him throughout the season, it’s going to be a long, long season and he’s impressed me. You’ll see him."
Greenwood
"We have a great record and tradition of bringing our players through, that means from early on you get good habits, you express yourselves, Mason’s come through this programme, done fantastic and will be kicking on I’m sure, he’s a very exciting boy to work with."
“You do [make a target for yourself] when you play well and I’m not concerned at all with Mason making a target for himself. H he came in, played fantastic, he made his first start against Tottenham last season, was brilliant, kicked on."
“He made a mistake for England and suddenly English press go after him."
“I have to disappoint you... he’s never ever late for training. I’ve seen some ex United players talking about him and they don’t know what they’re talking about and they can see every day. I don’t know where these stories have come from."
“He’s got a good family behind him, academy and he’s a good trainer and I cannot believe all these stories about him not being professional, that’s something we have to deal with many players, many other players at United have had that."
10 in a row away from home?
"I disagree with the 10 in a row because we lost to Chelsea and Sevilla, but neutral venues, okay.
“We need to address the home form, look at the way we prepare, maybe something I’ve got to deal with, the whole lockdown period has made us do things differently at home so we might have to do it in a different way."
Team news for Chelsea game - Maguire, Greenwood & Cavani
“I hope and expect all three of them to be available for selection. Of course we’ve got a training session this morning which is the last chance of preparation, but they’ve all got a chance, all of them."
“Edinson needs to tick all the boxes that he’s gone through in his programme to be ready and make an impact. I’ll have a discussion with him today, as well as with Mason and Harry."
6-1 memories wiped away?
"I don’t think anything will erase that memory, it’ll always be in the history books and we have always got to live with having that result, you can look back at different reasons why we had that result but we have got to move forward."
“It’s happened so many times at this club that you have results out of the blue or setbacks, so far we have bounced back well."
January - going back in for missed signings? (Sancho)
"I said this all through the summer and I have to say it again now, I don't talk about other clubs players, I won't disrespect them like that. There are always targets and options, sometimes they don't happen and you have to move on and leave them in the past. We have good options still to come that haven't had the games yet, Jesse can make a big impact. We're ready for what the season brings."
Tuanzebe
"It was a great performance by a kid who’s not played for 10 months, delighted for him, such a professional character, he wants everything, he works really hard, been really really thorough in rehab."
“I’m very pleased for him. Now it’s about getting consistency in his performances, he’s got to stay injury-free but I think he can kick on, he’s a leader, can play right-back, centre-back, midfield, he’s a boy who takes responsibility for his own development and he’s doing everything he can have to have a long career at United and get that consistency."

Hopefully Cavani will be on the bench. Having a striker that can come on and miss a sitter will be better than having Ighalo do nothing.

We had posters on here who wanted to make the Ighalo deal permanent. Thank god that didn’t happen.

With the threat Chelsea have from wide I think it would be stupid to have Geeenwood and James in the side and trust them to track back. Looking at Chelsea side you’d think Ole would play 3/5 at the back and hit them on the break with two pacey forwards alá PSG .
Chelsea play a high line and Thiago is just begging to be caught upfield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would say our last threat is from wide, Atleast until pulisic and ziyech get a run of games. Also we don’t really play with a high line either. Or haven’t done so far this year

Also what in about 2 games makes you think Tiago is begging to be caught up field?

i'm having a mental block! i just don't want to lose this game!
What makes me worry is Chelsea's attack, so i reckon this gonna be a right humdinger of a game!
Hopefully DeGea is back to his true self!
