Manchester United FC

2:2 shame though

Bruno Fernandes looks fine and is moving freely during warm-up. [MEN]

Ten Hag on Maguire: "A training injury, but we have proved we can sort it out, so I'm convinced we can today as well".

Ten Hag on Fernandes: "Of course, he's ready, it's Bruno Fernandes. He's tough, he takes responsibility, he wants to play. He's a big player for us, and he makes a big impact in every game. He's our captain, so we're really happy."

Ten Hag on choosing Sancho over Martial: "Martial, we have to manage him, his load, thats one thing. And the other thing is, Jadon [Sancho] is doing very well also, but we have to choose, and can choose."

De Gea: "Three vital points to play for. Well, it's always about making the results and about winning games. Sometimes it doesn't matter how you play, it's about winning the three points. I think we showed against Brighton [that] we fight for every every ball and then we we won the game. So today it's about winning again, doesn't matter how we play good or bad, but about winning. Of course, we want to try to play our best football, but it's about winning games." [@btsportfootball]

De Gea on top four being the aim: "Yeah, for sure. We did already [win] the [Carabao] Cup. Being in the FA Cup final is great, but of course we have to finish in the top four. This is massive for us, for the club, for the fans. So we have a big game today, again, many games in a row. So we have to be very focused on finishing the top four." [@btsportfootball]

De Gea on whether #mufc are aware of Tottenham's threat: "Yeah. Of course. It's a big game against a team that wants to be in the same position we are, fighting for top four. We have to make sure we go home with the three points. We play against a good team. We know how difficult is to play here against them. But yeah, you have to try your best and win again.

🚨 OFFICIAL #mufc XI to face Tottenham: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Shaw, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes, Antony, Rashford, Sancho. 🔴✅

Ten Hag: “We have seen in the season many times very good performances from Jadon [Sancho]. I think definitely, that moment on Sunday, it will strengthen him even more and give him more courage and belief.”

Ten Hag: “I think we need and we have to strengthen the team. So in more positions too and, for example, for the squad depth. But we don't think about this in this moment and we don't think about this.”

Ten Hag: "It is about eight games [left], but go from game to game so we don’t have to think about [the FA Cup final] in this moment because that is far ahead. We think only about the game tomorrow and that is what I demand from my players."

Ten Hag: "The points are more expensive in this period of the season, so make sure you are really ready. It is a final. We are playing finals. We have shown we know how to approach finals, but do it as a team, be ready as an individual."

Ten Hag: "He is one of the players that we have to face of Spurs, so I don’t think about anything else."

Ten Hag asked whether Harry Kane would fit in at #mufc: "I am preparing my team tomorrow for a game against Spurs."

Ten Hag: "It must not be such a big problem as it is in this moment in some games and certain occasions. But I also want to emphasise there are other situations where we dealt very well with it."

Ten Hag: "I think we need leadership in such [difficult] moments who know how to do it and they have already proved it here but also in other clubs how to deal with it."

Ten Hag: "Yeah, definitely [#mufc require more personalities to handle setbacks]. But it is just be composed be calm, carry on, play your game, stick to the plan, stick together. it is about issues like this."
