Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag spoke at a press conference ahead of the Community Shield clash against Manchester City on August 10th at 23:00.
Ten Hag said: “Let’s not talk about the Community Shield, but all games, including friendlies, we want to win. We will field a very competitive team to win this Community Shield trophy. Of course, it’s always pre-season, we won’t risk players, which is also normal for this game.”
“Sancho can play any attacking position. Where I put him depends on our tactical plan and the opponent. He has specific skills or advantages, he can adapt to different tactics and can always play a role in the game.”
“We know Mount is a high-level and technically complete player. Last season was very tough for him because he was injured a lot. We are glad he is doing well in pre-season. If he can stay healthy, I believe he will contribute to the team, and that’s the case for every player.”
“Maguire didn’t play against Liverpool because we didn’t want to risk him, but his participation on Saturday is still a question mark. We need to see if he is fit enough to play. The same applies to Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw, they are all doubtful. We need to assess them on Friday. I’m thinking of starting Lisandro in this game.”
