00:00Yes, first I want to congrat Andy and with

00:04reaching the top of the Kilimanjaro together with Robbo and big achievement and so for raising money for the Manchester United Foundation

00:13so

00:14big achievement and

00:16From our sides big concrete and enjoy it as well. And as I say, I think it's really for a good

00:24good target and

00:26hopefully

00:28Yeah, hopefully it will be follow-up and by a lot of money for this charity

00:34Okay

00:41Why don't you give us the first question on mountains as it be climbed yeah

00:47What makes you think you can still succeed at Manchester United Eric, what are you seeing that your critics might might be missing?

00:55also, we have to climb a mountain and

00:58this is top football and sometimes you have to face challenges, but

01:03And sometimes it goes up sometimes goes down

01:06But I'm sure we will make it a success as we did the last two seasons. We make it success and I

01:13think we are

01:16We are in a direction

01:18Underneath I see the cool things. I see underneath I see good patterns and I see also

01:24The good stats what

01:26Confirms that we are in a good direction. But of course the ranking is not lying

01:30I know we are where we are and that's not good enough

01:35Obviously you can see positives, but there's always a lot of noise around your position certainly the start of this international break

01:41Did you feel the need to seek any assurances about your position? No

01:44The noise is only coming

01:47from the media from you guys

01:50For some of you and let's say this not all of you but some of you

01:56Bringing up stories creating stories creating fairy tales

02:02Making the noise

02:03Bringing lies and because I know we are on one page in this group. I told this before the break

02:10I told several journalists probably they didn't they don't believe they didn't believe me. I have because

02:17I

02:18See the reports but

02:20Internal in the club. It's quiet. Of course. We are discussing

02:24in the position where we are and

02:27that we are

02:28Unhappy with the position where we are and how we have to turn the corner and what has to happen

02:34And so what should be the strategy to turn this corner?

02:39but ultimately

02:41We are quiet. We are composed

02:43We stay where we are we stick to the plan and

02:47We are very convinced. We will make it success

03:01Definitely the bill not help that is this for sure and you need place available to

03:06To perform so that is one one point we have to change in this club

03:10But then to this point actual is that

03:14Kobe and Harry they are out for a couple of weeks and muscle. Are we it's a good news. He's

03:22He faced an illness, but he returned on the training pitch and he's available for selection for tomorrow

03:30Just to see

03:41I

03:43Think very good choice from from the FA as a top-class manager proved himself

03:53Creating

03:55top teams creating

03:57teams who will who win and

04:01England

04:02Didn't win so much

04:04Didn't win since 1966. So I think it's a very good appointment to

04:10to get a win because England has

04:13world-class players

04:16make it a team and

04:17They have the opportunity to win

04:21big championships the Euros or the World Cup

04:26Eric you've had some problems that left back for a while because of injuries and unavailabilities

04:30Can you just say what is the situation with sure and type Tyrone Alassie? Are they going to be back anytime soon?

04:38Yeah, they have back but

04:41We can't force

04:43their return and

04:45We have to do it very careful because also we don't want to have a return and then quickly drop out

04:52so we we do it very

04:55Careful, but of course we hope to do it as soon as possible because this team needs a left-foot back

05:02That's also for sure

05:04on the game as well you

05:06Christian Erickson you signed him from from Brentford. He's become a really important figure again this season

05:11When it looked like perhaps his career might have been winding down slightly

05:15What's the the key to the change that he's now become so important pretty much every week?

05:20This year face some some injuries

05:24In the first year, but then already he was very important

05:29and

05:30As well as last season, but then also coming up Kobe, but then lately

05:36He proved himself

05:38In the team and together with Kobe and it can be a very good couple

05:43Lucky now, it's fell apart for the coming weeks, but it's it's clear

05:50He has a good season so far. He's important for the team with this contribution in

05:57linking

06:00Key passes

06:03Be creative

06:06Composed and calm and

06:08Yeah, very happy with this performance is so far in the season

06:14Have you got to try and take pressure off players obviously if you're in 14th every game is if you lose it

06:23It's it's a disaster because the club's not in a great position

06:27But also

06:28Benny McCarthy said that you see a lot last season players doing well in

06:34Training and then on a match day didn't happen, which presumably is to do with pressure as well

06:40How much have you got to take that off the player?

06:45I

06:46Think the players do well

06:48We we won last season

06:51Maybe you forgot and of course when we face problems and also we had

06:58Sometimes we have to

07:00line up teams

07:02Not in the right balance and because the players were not available

07:07But I think in general and the players

07:11Do perform well and what we see now? Yeah, we have to

07:15Then to start scoring and in that part

07:18But of course, it's the most important part of football if you want to win games, you have to score goals and in that part

07:24We have to improve and we are

07:28Entering the final third. We are entering the box

07:31We are coming in good positions to score and now we have to step up

07:36The last step with the most important step had to met
