Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag addressed the media ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Brighton on August 24th, providing an update on injuries and his squad’s preparations.
On team injuries
“Lindelof has a toe issue, that’s for sure. I hope he will be back as soon as possible, but he won’t be available for the weekend. Hojlund is also out with a hamstring injury, and also Malacia and Luke Shaw.”
On Sancho’s potential return
“Let’s wait and see, I personally want two players for every position. It also means that you can’t pick all the players for a game before the transfer window closes on September 1. But we need all the players for the whole season because it will be a survival of the fittest. We have to manage it, but the attitude of the players is also important. Sometimes they will be disappointed, but they have to deal with it.”
“So until then we need all the players in the squad, we need a high level of commitment. It’s not an expectation, it’s a requirement from the club and from the coaches. The team is above all, that’s always more important than one person.”
On transfer market rumours
“Please be patient, we are working hard and we will always try to build the best squad. So we still have a few days, things always improve. Of course, I can’t say anything at this moment.”
