🗣️ Kobbie Mainoo asked about this 'iconic' celebration: "The picture is only iconic if we go on to do great things for this club." on one Manchester United legend he'd like to play with: "Maybe [Cristiano] Ronaldo. I just missed him when coming into the first team. Ronaldo or Paul Scholes, I'd say. Not many people know that I used to be a striker. When I was younger I was always a striker, and then no.10 and on the wing. It's only more recently that I've come into the proper centre-midfield role."

🗣 Cesc Fabregas on Erik ten Hag: “I don't know his gameplan, I don't know if he has structure, I don't know what his message is. At least with Solskjær there was a plan - defend well and have great breaks.”

🚨🎙️| Marcus Rashford: “If you back me, good. If you doubt me, even better.”

Marcus Rashford on meeting Rooney and Ronaldo when he was young: “Wazza and Cristiano came by to do something with all the academy lads, and I was just looking at them in awe. I remember my brother saying, ‘Go take a picture with Wazza, bro! What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I don’t need a picture. … I’m going to be playing alongside them some day.” 🔴

​🗣️ Erik ten Hag: "Our form. We are also on a good run, the spirit is very good. We have done it before against City, also against Liverpool. We will prepare well. The players are looking forward to it. I can smell it. I am excited. They [Varane and Fernandes] fought to be part and they came well out of the game. I think they will be available for Sunday. I don't think players will return for Sunday. On Casemiro's mentality: "Passion, desire, determination, that is the base. Definitely for the game on Sunday." On Manchester City: "They are a good team. There are more good teams. They last in the last season everything. That is the challenge. Liverpool also have a good team. We like challenges." On his thoughts on Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 'knock off their perch' comment: "I think that has nothing to do with eachother. We want to win every game, that is always our mentality. It doesn't matter who is the opponent. You always want to play against the best. Opposition get their best outputs against Manchester United. We have to give everything. A team performance if we want to get a result there." On previous matches with Manchester City: "We did it in several ways, many ways. To be successful, from all the games, we look back, we won one time. We need a great day. It is also what we know, players need to give their best." On Bruno Fernandes: "He's a very passionate football player. A very creative football player. He's created the most in the Premier League. Opponents are targeting him, especially after Saturday. I feel referee should protect him. They had a chance from the start of the game, it was so obvioius. Highly, very highly. He is first of all, his football skills, so creative in the final third creating chances. He can score a goal. Also, his outputs, his contribution for defending. Reading the situation, the press. But also be the example by running and supporting players around him." On Bruno Fernandes’s reputation: "That is your impression. I thought it was definitely foul on Saturday. It was misjudged from media, social media to blame him for it. That was my point. Opponents are targeting him, that is not right. Referees should protect him." On if the derby is a season-defining match: "No. There are many more games to play. In FA Cup. After Manchester City, many more games. We have to catch up but more games to catch up and to get in the right position."

🚨🇫🇷 BREAKING: Paul Pogba has been banned from football for four years due to doping.

Ten Hag on Bruno Fernandes: "You saw, Forest were targeting him. I don't say what it is (injury), but it was a serious injury. Social media criticise him. It is pathetic. He has a very high pain threshold. It shows his leadership." #mufc

Wayne Rooney on Rashford: "He's not the most vocal lad. His body language doesn't look great at times but he's not like that. The senior players need to get more out of him and get him fired up." [bbc] #mufc

Wayne Rooney on Rashford: "Confidence is the main factor, he hasn't been scoring regularly this season and he maybe needs to simplify his game to get back in the groove." [bbc] #mufc

Wayne Rooney: "You need the team to create chances for you if you are playing as a number nine. Marcus Rashford needs to be more ruthless and be patient and stay in the middle of the goal. You just want to see more from him." [bbc] #mufc

Ten Hag: "There will always, in a process, be setbacks, but it’s how you can make it better. You have to start by getting that right on the training pitch." [bbc] #mufc

Ten Hag: "We have to be aware that we can’t go into a game giving 90-95%. You have to give everything possible on the pitch and show determination and intimidation in our approach to the opponent. We have to show willingness and belief to win games." [bbc] #mufc
