Meeting Highlights…ABOUT MATCH
We are playing for six points as we want to continue our quest for a Champions League finish. I am confident as I believe in our way. I know from minute one to minute 90 we have to be very focused and very respectful and play an intelligent match.
…ANSWER TO TEN HAG
Our main objective is to be consistent in the Premier League. Of course we are being consistent and having success in the overall thing we are doing but each match is so special. We have to try to be together.
…MAN UNITED
We have to try to stop them, starting with the goalkeeper because his build-up is fantastic. They have very good wingers and strikers and that is my concern.

Erik ten Hag
Manager on Manchester United…INJURIES
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a doubt for the match as he is dropping out of training. Mason Mount and Tyrell Malacia are not ready to return yet. Lisandro Martinez's injury is a big setback and he’s disappointed but he’s a fighter and he will be back stronger. We still think he will be back by the end of the season.
…SCORING 13 GOALS ON LAST 5 MATCHES
Players need time, especially young players like Hojlund and Garnacho. We had to make a lot of adjustments in our way of play so it was difficult to serve the offensive players. I was confident from the start that they had the potential to do this and now it is about keeping it going and being hungry.
…ASTON VILLA
It’s very clear how they want to play in and out of possession. They have absolute weapons in their team so we have to play to our maximum to get the right result. Every game is now a final, so that’s our approach to take the challenge. We are already in that mood.
