00:10 >> Okay, who wants to start?

00:12 [BLANK_AUDIO]

00:17 >> Hi, Eric.

00:19 It felt like you probably did enough to win the game twice, but

00:22 your goalkeeper has made two quite big errors again.

00:25 How did you see the game in general?

00:27 [BLANK_AUDIO]

00:37 >> I think the progress in this team, I take many positives of this game.

00:44 Some states we play like I want my team to play.

00:49 It was enjoyable to watch them, so proactive, dynamic and brave, and

00:53 we scored great goals.

00:55 And even after we had some setbacks, we kept going until the end,

00:59 because in the end, we should have won as well with the big chances from

01:02 Scott McTominay and Pellistri.

01:04 So yeah, of course I'm disappointed because we should have managed the game

01:09 better.

01:10 We will learn from that, but you see this team is in development.

01:14 >> I know you probably don't want to talk about individuals, but

01:18 just on Andre, he has made two quite big mistakes again.

01:22 Have you spoken to him after the game?

01:24 Is he okay?

01:25 >> Yes, he's okay.

01:26 But as I say, it's not about an individual.

01:30 And of course, individual in football, some individual errors will make

01:35 difference and we have to take responsibility for it.

01:38 But it's always about team, and this team is good.

01:42 All the players in this squad are good and deserve the best to play for

01:46 Man United because they are brilliant players and that counts for the whole squad.

01:52 >> Eric, you spoke about- >> [INAUDIBLE]

01:57 >> [FOREIGN]

02:07 >> [FOREIGN]

02:17 >> [FOREIGN]

02:27 >> [FOREIGN]

02:37 >> Eric, you spoke about game management and

02:43 we've seen now the changes that have been made in the last few weeks.

02:51 What do you think about the changes that have been made in the last few weeks?

02:57 >> [FOREIGN]

03:05 >> [FOREIGN]

03:15 >> [FOREIGN]

03:25 >> [FOREIGN]

03:35 >> [FOREIGN]

03:45 >> [FOREIGN]

04:45 >> [FOREIGN]

04:55 >> [FOREIGN]

05:05 >> [FOREIGN]

05:15 >> [FOREIGN]

05:25 >> Eric, after I think it was the second goal,

05:35 Andre was celebrating quite wildly in front of the United supporters.

05:39 Does that suggest that he needs to maybe be a bit more focused when the game's not

05:44 won and it's still quite early in the game?

05:46 >> It's difficult if you to make that connection and

05:56 to see that as a cause for whatever if you relate that to misfocus.

06:04 But I don't think so.

06:05 I see the civilians of Hockey and that first free kick and

06:10 he scored so many goals against the best goalkeepers in the world in this way.

06:16 >> And just it's felt like this month against Copenhagen, Everton and

06:20 today that the team are playing more the way you want them to play.

06:24 They are scoring really laudable goals.

06:26 Does that make it more frustrating that particularly in Europe,

06:29 you're not getting the results that maybe merit the way you're playing?

06:34 >> It would be more frustrating if you play poor.

06:37 But the performance is very good and it's enjoyable to watch how we dictate in game,

06:44 how we creating the chances.

06:46 That is actually fantastic.

06:49 But now we have and it's more you can sort better at the management of the game out.

06:55 Then you start playing football.

06:58 And so yeah, the football is good.

07:01 The performance is good.

07:02 But now we have to learn better how we manage this game.

07:07 >> [FOREIGN]

07:17 >> [FOREIGN]

07:27 >> [FOREIGN]

07:37 >> Okay, last question.

08:01 >> [FOREIGN]

08:11 >> Okay, Unana makes some mistakes like I said.

08:26 >> And the reason why you don't choose for Altair?

08:29 Is there a reason why you don't choose for Altair?

08:34 >> We are very happy with our keeper group.

08:36 We have with Andre, with Altair, also Tom, a very good keeper group.

08:40 And as a group, they do really well.

08:43 They have good performances.

08:47 Yeah, and they have to push each other.

08:50 And so yeah, we are very pleased with the comment from Altair.

08:55 He gets used to Premier League.

08:59 He gets used to European football, which is tough when you're coming from Turkey.

09:05 But the process, we are very pleased with.

09:09 He's doing very well and you have to be patient.

09:14 But if he works well, if he keeps this progress, then he will catch his chances.

09:19 And then he has to take this.

09:23 >> [FOREIGN]

09:33 >> Okay, thank you very much.
