00:00In your end of season address you apologised to the fans as you said you would yesterday.
00:06You also said we have to stick together.
00:10Clearly before the game there were protests. Is that what you mean?
00:16No, it's everything. It's hard to point one thing.
00:20In difficult moments sometimes we blame each other as a club, as a family.
00:26It's normal but we need to stick together and we will be okay. That's all.
00:32After this season you acknowledge that there are so many lows, what have you seen to give you hope?
00:42That we have to see next season.
00:46I think we are improving as a team.
00:50Sometimes the results don't show that but we are improving.
00:54Again, in the final I think it was not a great game.
00:58But if you ask anyone who is the better team in that game, it was us.
01:02That is clear. Today we did a good game against a team that with one point could be in the Champions League.
01:10So I think we are improving.
01:12And then we are changing so many things in Carrington.
01:16There are so many things important in this club that the results don't show.
01:20You cannot see it but they will be really important in the future.
01:24I think we are changing so many things that a normal club could do it in three years.
01:30A lot of people leaving.
01:32And in the day by day, the way we behave.
01:36Who is in charge in Carrington.
01:38Who decides things.
01:40I think we are changing that.
01:42That is really important.
01:44If you look at it in the past, I think that was a characteristic of this club.
01:48That the culture was really important.
01:50And I think we are changing that.
01:52That is really important.
01:54If you look at it in the past, I think that was a characteristic of this club.
01:58That the culture, the standards were really high.
02:16Does the sport need to change a lot?
02:19It's hard to talk about that because we have the fair play rules and we are limited, especially this year.
02:27So we need to be patient.
02:29Of course, we are going to have changes.
02:32You saw three players today are leaving.
02:35And they are characters that we need that kind of character here.
02:39But then we have to see the characteristics of the player to try to play in a different way.
02:44So we are doing that.
02:46But we have to be patient because we have the limitation of fair play rules.
02:51James?
02:52You mentioned those three that are leaving.
02:54Garnatra was not in the squad as well today.
02:57And there are indications that you told them that you could find a new club this summer.
03:02Can you clarify what the situation is with Garnatra?
03:08Onana was just for Altai to have this experience.
03:12And sometimes the goalkeepers nowadays, they need space to play also, to feel important,
03:19because we need two, three goalkeepers ready to play, especially when you have a lot of competition.
03:28And then Garnatra is a Manchester United player that is not in the squad today, but he is a normal player in our club.
03:35And I have no news that that will change today.
03:39Steve?
03:40Steve?
03:41Steve?
03:42Steve?
03:43So is Garnatra possibly playing his last game for the club?
03:46I know you said you could go play the post-season friendlies.
03:49Would you have him at the club for next season?
03:50Sorry?
03:51I...
03:52Garnatra?
03:53Would you have him at the club for next season?
03:55Garnatra is one more player of Manchester United.
03:58So I don't know what is going to happen in the future, but he is a normal player.
04:02Yeah.
04:03Are you ready for a break or are you looking forward to start tomorrow all these changes that you have to apply and all these decisions for?
04:11No, I'm really excited to finish the season. I'm going to be really honest with you guys. I'm really excited to start again.
04:19So we cannot lose any time. We need to prepare the preseason. We'll have this preseason.
04:25If you look in the next years, we'll have a World Cup, so we'll not have time to take advantage of that.
04:34We have to make some changes in our squad and we have a lot to do. So I'm really excited in this moment.
04:43Last question, Dave.
04:45You just said that you're looking forward to the break. Obviously, you've got the postseason tour now.
04:49Can you understand why the next season starts, you'll be under huge pressure from the world go?
04:54Because of this season, how disastrous, as you said, this season is big. Can you accept and understand that that pressure will be on you and the players in the very first game?
05:02Yeah, that is normal. That is a risk. When I started six months ago and if you start now, we can have a preseason, prepare the future.
05:11And then that season will be the first season. People will look at me as not just the first season.
05:17I have to deliver next year. I think we are going, I'm really confident that we are going to play better.
05:24to have more results, but it's going to take time. So we know that we will have to suffer again.
05:30But of course, we have to, we need to have better results. That's for sure.
05:37Thank you, guys.
