“So far, it’s been no problem [Squad Rotation], We’ve got so many games. As soon as it becomes one game a week, it might be a problem.

”We rotate even during games. When we can put Anthony [Martial] and ‘Rashy’ [Marcus Rashford] on for Alexis (Sanchez) and Rom, who did a fantastic job [at Arsenal], it is only going to help us. The players have been very, very good at staying ready and being ready when they get on.”

“Alexis is a fantastic player. We know he’s had difficult moments in the last year, but he’s fantastic. He can change a game, he can score fantastic goals and provide fantastic assists.

”It’s great to have six attacking players who can change the game in one minute. At the moment, we all know Marcus is enjoying the game, Jesse the same. Romelu made two assists tonight which isn’t usually one of his qualities in a game. And Juan Mata on the bench… he’s got the stats: assists and goals.

“It’s not easy for the opponents when they are going to face Manchester United and they see these players.”

“I’m not going to talk about my contract. We have more important things happening now than my contract so I just try to perform.

“My priority is to beat Burnley, Leicester… and if I deserve a new contract, the contract will come. I’m not a selfish guy, I want the team to keep winning games, I don’t go crazy about my contract.”

- Ander Herrera
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 3:09pm On Jan 27, 2019
“We shouldn’t go crazy with the table. There are still a lot of matches to play in the league so we go game by game. Every game gives you a new challenge, and new problems to solve.

“Now, we’re thinking about the next game which is Burnley. It’s an important game. They will probably try to make the most of set pieces, they’re aggressive and compact.

“Our feeling is that if we perform at our best, we can beat anyone. It doesn’t mean we’re going to beat every team, but we have the belief because we have the quality to do it.”

- Ander Herrera

“Ole brought that [belief] to the team from the first day. He said we want to be a team that controls the game, but sometimes that’s impossible.

"Sometimes we have to defend, but we know when we are defending that anything can happen in attack for us. We have quick forward players who are able to make runs to be in box.

“Paul [Pogba] makes those runs, Ash [Young] and Luke [Shaw] too; everyone is allowed to go and attack, so of course when we are playing we think that anything is possible. Even in the tough moments, we have the feeling that we can hurt our opponent.”

I target top 50 cos this is my 2nd FPL Experience, and so far...... I've crawled to first 80.

“We feel great but it’s the same in training. We play a lot of games in a lot of competitions and every time you come into the games you know the situations and you have to keep on maintaining the pressure on the other team and keep on delivering the quality, that’s what it’s about, and on the counter-attack we’re really dangerous. We’re growing steadily and winning games which is the most important thing.

”I don’t care who we play [in the next round]. At the end of the day we’re Man United and wherever we go we have to perform and put a shift in, and that’s what we’ll do against whoever comes our way.“

- Romelu Lukaku
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:08am On Jan 26, 2019
“Scoring every time! [Laughs] I want to score every time because I’m a goalscorer but I can do both and throughout the years I’ve popped up with assists too. I’m not sure I’ve had any this season before tonight but now I have two and if I keep the goals up and the assists up I’ll be really delighted.

”It was the manager’s idea to play me there [on the right of the attack]. I think he saw me play there a couple of times for Belgium and I did a job for the team in that position. I have to take my chances. I’m taking things a day at a time and working hard in training and I’m ready whenever the manager needs me.

“We said before the game we just need to try to dominate and play hard and then the result will come, and we did that. I think Arsenal tried to play their game but defensively we were really focused and offensively on the break we were really dangerous and that made a difference today in terms of that aspect. I’m really happy with the win.”

- Romelu Lukaku
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:06am On Jan 26, 2019
“I told him [Sanchez] yesterday in training, 'Listen, you’re going to score tomorrow. I said to him I’d give him the ball as long as he ran inside if I couldn’t shoot. I said to him, 'Just run in and I’ll find you’. I think you could see when I got the ball I was looking for him and he made the right run and the finish for him was incredible.

"We knew they would leave space for me and Alexis with the full-backs pushing on so it would end up being 3 v 3 or 3 v 2 and we had a lot of moments when we could have countered better, especially in the second half. I think we could have scored two or three more goals to be honest, but 3-1 at Arsenal is very good.“

- Romelu Lukaku
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:04am On Jan 26, 2019
“Tonight we’ve beaten one of the favourites and if you want to win this tournament you need one or two proper performances and today was a fantastic one.

"It would be nice to get a home draw in the next round now. The fans were fantastic and towards the end you could only hear them. Once again they can enjoy the trip back to Manchester! [Smiles]”

“The way the players celebrate shows they’re happy. It might be the last goal you ever score so you should celebrate every single one as though it’s the last one.”

“He’s [Lingard] shown that for England and he’s shown that for us. He always pops up with goals and he is someone we never ever hesitate to put in a Man United team.

"And he’s been brought through the system so he knows what this means, he knows the history, he knows everything about the club and he’s someone we love.”

- Ole Gunner Solskjaer
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:01am On Jan 26, 2019
“The more confidence you have as a player the more you want to get onto the pitch, train, work hard and you also trust yourself. He’s [Sanchez] been injured lately so it was great to see him get 65/70 minutes tonight and he can only improve and I think he knows that himself.”

- Ole Gunner Solskjaer
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:00am On Jan 26, 2019
“He’s [Shaw] just walking into the interview! [Laughs] He was fantastic. You saw for the second goal, instead of just panicking and clearing the ball, he took a touch and drove inside and set up Rom [who set up Jesse]. He did brilliantly.”

- Ole Gunner Solskjaer
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:58am On Jan 26, 2019
“Rom has played there [on the right] for Belgium and for Everton, it was against Arsenal actually a few years back, and he played there in the World Cup against Brazil so that’s a tactic we can use.

"We know how strong he is coming in at the back post if we can get crosses in which we didn’t actually manage to do tonight, but he held the ball and ran the channel and brought other players into play and it was a fantastic pass for Alexis’s goal. And it was a great finish from Alexis.”

- Ole Gunner Solskjaer
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:57am On Jan 26, 2019
“That’s part of it. If you go through the history and the games we’ve played against Arsenal that’s how it is. I remember a goal I scored in 1997 after we defended a corner; it went from Giggsy to Karel [Poborsky] to Andy [Cole] and into me.

"Everyone knows about the classic Champions League goal [in 2009] with Ji [-sung Park], Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Wayne [Rooney] running forward. Wazza has scored a couple more like that, as has Ji, so the counter-attacking threat that we have is in our history against Arsenal.”

- Ole Gunner Solskjaer
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:55am On Jan 26, 2019
“The structure in the team was miles better compared to the Tottenham game where we hung in there and David [De Gea] saved us.

"Tonight Sergio [Romero] had a fantastic save at the beginning of the second half, but we’d been working on things this week because we need to dig in and defend properly against good teams. This was a massive step forward for us as a team."

- Ole Gunner Solskjaer
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:54am On Jan 26, 2019
“It was a fantastic finish [from Alexis for the first goal] and a great pass from Rom [Lukaku] I have to say. Just before that I’d said ‘Rom you should be in the box!’ [Smiles] But then he makes that pass which was fantastic. The second and third goals were classic Man United counter-attacks.

"We had to defend properly which we did today and really had to dig in, we had a much better structure than we did against Tottenham. We defended resiliently and the attitude to run forward was fantastic.”

- Ole Gunner Solskjaer

“[It helps] when you’ve got good players, but it’s also difficult to leave them out, it’s much easier to put them into the team. It’s hard because you have to think we have the best goalkeeper in the world in David [De Gea].

"Do you leave him in just because it’s a big game? No, because you have to trust all the players in this club.”

Roy Keane was the best. Imagine the coach said, “no training this morning, you guys must be tired from the travel” but Keano said no that training must hold.
I swear...... Who dare to tackle him among the Lads during his Era?! Let Valencia or Ashley tries it with the present Squad, Pogba and Lingard would use either of them to shine and dab!

There’s a documentary about Ferguson and Wenger rivalry called THE FEUD.

You guys should check it out on YouTube if you haven’t seen it. It’s quite interesting.
I really enjoy it bruh. Football is losing its value. it's more about Money now, no more Passion for the Game!

Football used to be like Spartacus (blood and sand), but now it's simply more or less black Panther (comic play).

@Oasis, Could it be that OGS studied journalism? He's always got the right answer to any question! I can imagine the sacked one response to pogba's social media stunt..
grin

He's simply a good Listener, who carefully, intelligently responds to the Questions. Also he learned a lot from Sir Alex. He understands United very well, he understands the Culture and what's expected of a typical United Manager.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 6:41am On Jan 25, 2019
Lingard is better off as a Squad Player to be honest. He brings consistency, he presses, can run for 90mins...... But that ain't enough!

What's expected of him is what Rashford is becoming gradually. Also we should not be fooled by his Look and Stature cos he's 26, older than Pogba and Lukaku as well.

Lingard can't offer more than he's doing presently. I do not want him sold, rather become a super-sub to terrorize the Opposition Defence in the final Quarter of a Game.

Martial gonna find his Mojo back. He's about to Renew his Contract, he's loving it at United again, he's simply reacting slowly under OGS unlike Rashford. I honestly believe once he picks up, he would be unstoppable!

“I've never been a fan of you're this and you're that. It’s 11 captains out there really. It's all personalities, big personalities. I think it's important that you're not afraid of standing in front of your team-mates and putting them in their place if you have to.

”I think I have to be fair to Ash [Young] who is our skipper. He is maybe one of the last old school ones. He sounds like Rio [Ferdinand] and Gary [Neville].“

“It's part of the era we live in [On Pogba and Co using social media often].

”That's society now, that's what they're used to. The kids now are used to that, I'm not, but they are and it's all positive.

“It's all good messages and I don't have any problem with that whatsoever, because that's Paul.”

“I know the boy [Pogba] from before and he is a leader. He is a character, he influences people and he cares and he really wants to be successful.

”He knows he can't do it by himself. It's a team game and he's a character that brings so many good things with him when he's enjoying himself, I have to say.“

“He’s come in and, Ole being Ole, he has brought a smile with him. He knows the club, which is massively important for me, and what he’s done is come here and just said to everybody - go and enjoy playing for Man United, go and be the luckiest boys on the planet to go and play on that pitch.

“He felt like that when he was a player and he’s trying to introduce that to the players now and it’s worked. But he’s also got a little bit of a ruthless streak. I don’t think you can be as successful as Ole Gunnar if you’ve not got that. He had a dream to become a football manager after his playing career and he worked hard at it.

“This opportunity has come and I know he’s delighted to have that. I spoke to him on many occasions and I also know that he’s going to take it with both hands and try and grab hold of that for as long as he can and hopefully it’ll be a long, long time.”

“He [Alexis] will be involved. I think he’ll love it if the crowd turn against him. As a player, pride kicks in and you think ‘I’ll show all of you’. He’s been fantastic in training, his attitude has been spot on so hopefully he’ll enjoy the game.”

I think the club’s making progress [to renewing Martial and De Gea Contracts] but I leave that to the right people to do that. I don’t know really how far we are away from it but hopefully we’re going to have some good news in the coming weeks.”

“You don’t really have to prioritise, I’ve got a big strong squad there will be one or two changes you always prioritise the next game the main priority is tomorrow night, we’ve got Sunday, Saturday, Monday so plenty of time in between to recover for Burnley.”
