What did I miss, Cavani say something ?
Solskjær press conference vs Milan (A)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
But does Cavani? Because if Ole wants to speak to him in a language he doesn't know, surely Norwegian would be easier...
Nah, his dad
Did his Dad talk bad about United?
Minimum 7 - 10 days for an ankle injury like that. Let's hope he doesn't need more.
People who speak Spanish and Portugese understand eachother.
Edit: Better than someone who speaks bad English atleast

What could be have possibly said, I mean, we are trying to play him as much as possible!
Every press conference has a Norwegian journalist asking questions about Haaland.
£1000 says Simon Stone asked this question. Guy doesn't know how to ask anything else.
That he wants to go and play for Boca Juniors
Ok, but the poster said Ole needs to have a word because "we can't allow players and associates to talk smack about the club".
Something about how he was disappointed with the way the FA sanction was handled by the club, and that he'd want to play with Boca Juniors next year.
His dad made some comment along the lines of the club didn't support Edi over the "racism" thing and hung him out to dry.
Ah ok, yeah fair enough. The club did shit on him a bit there but that said, they really has no choice in today’s World, especially since every idiot and his dog would have compared it with Liverpool supporting Suarez despite it being nothing alike.
Away presser
Solskjaer is joined by Marcus Rashford and the first question is for him:
Rashford on Tomorrow's Game
"It's a massive game for us and I'm feeling positive and optimistic. The first performacne showed can can do well in difficult conditions and now we go to the San Siro. We're
looking to have a dominant display."

Rashford on shoulder injury
"To be honest, I just focus on the next game in and and that's how I deal with it. "What's needed after, we'll deal with then and I'll focus on being available for the team."

Rashford on his workloads
"Every single year is different. As players we just give ourselves the chance to do well, going into the game as posisitve as possible, even when you're fatigued.
"That's the menatlity the manager has brought and we just go forward with that."

Rashford asked about cup record
After United were beaten in three semi-finals last season, Rashford was asked what winning the Europa League would mean...
"That's the aim from when we unfortunately got kicked out of the Champions League. Anything else than winning the Europa League we won't be happy with. We're going to do our absolute best."

Rashford : 'I have no fears going into games'
"I know my body and what I can do physically. I take one game at a time. It's the life of a footballer, we can rest when we retire. I want to play as many games as I can. I have no doubts or fears going into games."

Solskjaer on Pogba, VDB and team news
"There's a couple we need to assess. Martial is a definite no-go, others we need to speak and decide when we travel, still needing to confirm whether they're available."
"There's always speculation here. They've been involved with the training session. Let's see tomorrow whether there's any reaction or not. Donny has been working really hard to get back available for the latter stages of the season now. That's our focus."
More on injuries and De Gea
"Shola [Shoretire] will be playing for the Under-23s, so we felt that was right for him. Eric [Bailly] is being assessed.
"And with regards to the decision-making on what team we're going to play, let's see how everyone feels tomorrow."

Solskjaer on San Siro
"I think I only played once in a friendly in San Siro. I was usually a spectator.
"When it's full it's an amazing place to play. Unfortunately we're going to be playing in a very different atmosphere. We're going to familiarise ourselves with the stadium tonight, have a little walk around."

Solskjaer on Dalot future
"The plan was always for Diogo this season, the main thing was him to be fit. He never managed to be fit for a long spell when he was here, unfortunate with injuries.
"He's now playing for a big club, he's been available for them, so it's been a good year for him. I've been very pleased with his development this season. He's our player and we're looking forward to having him back."

Solskjaer on United progress
"When you see the culture here, I see progress every day.
"It's for others how much to assess there's been an improvement. We're all aiming to win trophies at this club, but sometimes the trophy can hide other things that are happening at the club. It's in the league positions that you see whether you're progressing, really. The cups you can be lucky or unlucky. Of course we're aiming to win, that's why you play football."

Solskjaer on Cavani
"Edinson has trained for a couple of days now and we're still assessing him. When he's in and around the club, his experience and influence on others is great. He always tries to help everyone.
"And when it comes to a game, the lads look to him. Hopefully there's no reaction to the training he's had and he'll be available."

Solskjaer on Milan tie
"We saw the game last week and how difficult it's going to be. A physical side, loads of energy and good quality in the team. We need to perform at our best level to go through. We've never been too lucky with draws since I've been here!
"Tomorrow night is going to be about loads of things: quality, experience, game management, a good start of course. I always enjoy being away from home in the second leg, that means so much more when you score a goal."

Cup success and what it would mean
"I felt a big rebuild had to be made. The league is always the bread and butter and that's when you see how capable you are.
"The cups are sometimes an ego thing for managers and clubs. It's not like a trophy will say 'we are back', no. It's gradual progression at the top of the league. Sometimes the cup competitions can hide your progress a bit.

Last bit from Solskjaer
"Every manager wants to win every game and we want to fight on every front. Then it comes to a point in every season when it's: 'okay we cant achieve this' and you sometimes might sacrifice the league position to get a cup run at the end.
"I haven't been here and felt we can down-prioritise any game yet. The players need to learn to cope with all the pressures and the expectations. You end up with trophies if you're consistent enough anyway."

Rashford injured and out of our two most important games of the season so far and you still get people defending him not making a sub against west ham.
He's saying the right things here.
For me, he usually does.
But...and so forth.
Still, it's nice to see that he knows what it's all about - and unless he's a sheer bullshit merchant (which I don't think he is), he is working towards coming good on "the expectations". Which ain't a semi-decent top four finish somewhere hopelessly behind City - and a Mickey Mouse trophy. He knows this - I really think so.
Whether he's able to deliver according to those same expectations is an entirely different question. But Ole isn't happy to do an Arsenal - I doubt that very much.
More importantly, though: Was he smiling?
Who said he's injured?
Oh it's so on!
Rashy out vs AC Milan
“I don’t think he’ll be available for tomorrow. Didn’t train today. Normally very optimistic but think he is out of tomorrow night and a doubt for the weekend.”
Solskjaer
Say what?Unless he says "Beklager Erling - du er for dyr for oss"
Edi out of the tie
Hopefully he is out for the England fixtures as well. Get a proper rest, for the first time this season.
Cavani out now. Guessing something like:
Henderson
Wan Bissaka Lindelof Maguire Shaw
McTominay Fred
James Bruno Pogba
Greenwood
If Pogba isn't fit to start, then either Telles left wing in a 3-5-2, or Amad starting and James to the left.Wan Bissaka Lindelof Maguire Shaw
McTominay Fred
James Bruno Pogba
Greenwood
