Hi Eric, I hope you're okay.
00:02
Yeah, very good.
00:03
Could I ask you about Kobi Meyneuw?
00:05
He came on on Wednesday.
00:09
What, as a manager, what things have you got to take into consideration
00:15
before deciding whether to put an 18-year-old into the team?
00:20
If he's ready or not, he showed on Sunday that he was ready.
00:27
And then we have to manage three games in six days
00:33
to get the best results of all the games.
00:36
We have more than 11 players and we have good options there.
00:40
I think Soufiane also showed he was playing a very good game.
00:44
So we have to have the options and then you manage the load of the players
00:49
and it's about freshness as well.
00:51
What in particular do you like about him as a player?
00:57
He's obviously very young.
00:59
He's scanning and it looks like he has all this time.
01:09
And because he's scanning, he's running free,
01:13
then he's scanning to see the options and then make the right decisions.
01:19
He can delay, he can speed up, so he makes the right decisions.
01:25
I know you've talked a lot about Andre Anana,
01:31
but since the game on Wednesday, his form has been analysed,
01:35
it's been talked about.
01:37
Are we being too harsh on Andre Anana?
01:41
Pardon?
01:42
Are we analysing and talking about Andre Anana too much?
01:46
Are we analysing his game too much?
01:49
If you analyse it well, then you see he's the second best goalkeeper
01:58
in the Premier League based on stats.
02:01
So his expected preventing goals is the second best in the Premier League.
02:08
So, yeah, he's doing well.
02:10
But he knows that in the Champions League he makes some mistakes,
02:17
but all over, if you see the first five months, he's doing particularly well.
02:23
Is it difficult to gauge how well Manchester United are playing at the moment?
02:31
Because you look at the Premier League form and it's fantastic,
02:34
but then you have the Champions League frustrations.
02:36
Is it frustrating for you because you know how good this team can be?
02:40
So you said very good, how good we play.
02:45
And also on Wednesday, we played very good.
02:50
And also in Copenhagen, we played very good.
02:54
And even in Bayern Munich, we played very good.
02:57
But, yeah, we have to do some things better.
03:02
So eliminating individual errors and also things in defence transition,
03:09
but we can sort this out.
03:11
And I would be more concerned if we didn't play this that well.
03:17
Demi, you know Ananda as well as anybody.
03:22
How is his confidence after these quite high-profile mistakes that he's made?
03:27
You know also because you have seen how he is reacting on the bad performance
03:34
like he did after Munich.
03:36
He was in Burnley, he was outstanding.
03:38
So, yeah, he's a strong character, he's a personality, and he will deal with it.
03:43
We've had the update this morning about Molassier and coming back in the new year.
03:50
Are you expecting any other of the injured players to return before the Munich game?
03:56
I don't think about the Munich game.
04:00
First we go back into the Premier League.
04:04
But there are players on the way back, but I can't say now.
04:10
Fork knows how long it will take.
04:12
So there's no time frame on Mason Mount, for instance?
04:16
Mason Mount is today returning on the pitch,
04:19
but I don't know how long it takes when he will return.
04:23
I can't say at this moment.
04:25
Vicky?
04:26
Eric, in the last couple of games you've played against Newcastle,
04:30
you've said they were very physical.
04:32
Do you expect a similar game to that when you play against them at St James' Park?
04:38
I really respect them.
04:42
It's a difficult team to play, but also it's a good challenge.
04:46
So I like to play against them because it's a challenge.
04:50
We have to rise to the occasion.
04:52
We know that we have to be on our best.
04:54
Against them, because as I say, the way they play,
05:00
I think it's very well organised.
05:03
That concludes the first section of the press conference.
