Erik ten Hag: "We have to meet high standards and keep the high standards. Also the profiles [of players] we want to get in. Of course, character is always an issue. They have to be good and have to fit into the team." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: "Tyrell Malacia did very well [against Atletico Madrid], Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martínez both did very well in the game against Brighton. We are very happy with that." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: "It’s really complicated [in the transfer market], I can tell you, but I think we are really happy with what we have done until now. I think that was the positive point from last week and the week before." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: "Once again, it would be my preference [ ti sign players earlier] because we could be starting the process earlier, quite clear. But at the end of the day, the season is long and you have to get in the right players." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: "Of course, there are developments in the transfer market but still we have to get the players in who can contribute and not get players in who cannot do. Then we have to do with the squad and then we have to improve the team." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: "Now we are in the department of midfield and offence, you have seen when we have one injury that we have a problem. That’s clear." #mulive

Erik ten Hag on recruitment: "We cooperate well and it is to my satisfaction, and, of course, it was better to get the players earlier in because then you get earlier in the process." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: “I am not saying it’s always easy but I think @ManUtd stands for trophies and that has to be the standard that everyone has to accept. We cannot live with low standards because then we will not get back where we have to be.”

🗣 Erik ten Hag asked if Facundo Pellistri's ankle injury will affect him being loaned out: “Yes, I think so, because he’s injured. The prognosis is that he will not return before September.” [MU]

🗣️ Erik ten Hag asked whether the #mufc squad will be better when the transfer window closes: "We have to. I'm confident we will have."

🗣️ Erik ten Hag: "I know there's always pressure, I have the experience, how it is. I know we have to win every game, I know the fans, I know everyone expects #mufc to win every game, we have to deal with that and all I can do is prepare the team as well as I can this weekend."

🗣️ Erik ten Hag: "What I always do after every game: I analyse the game, what went well, what went wrong, where can we improve, what do we have to improve, how we can train and we tell the players and show them how to improve to get solutions."

🗣️ Erik ten Hag on Cristiano Ronaldo: "He had a good training week. He has now two half a games, for starting XI [against Brentford] we will see tomorrow. I make my decision and I keep it [to myself]."

🗣️ Erik ten Hag on Marcus Rashford: "He's really important, you have seen from the first day I'm here, I'm really happy with him, I don't want to lose him, he's definitely in our plans at #mufc."

Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelöf will not be fit to return for the Brentford game.
