The coach also spoke of Harry Maguire: "He's an impressive player, and I expect a lot from him as captain. Building a team is important, and for me he is a leader in everything.

In addition, brother Tan revealed the connection to United's legendary coach Alex Ferguson: "We talked, but I will keep the conversation between us. It's always fun to talk to him about life and football. I think I can get the club back to its natural place. I know I got into a tough work environment, But I'm sure I can do it. "
The Dutchman commented on the transfer market: "I would love to sign English players because I think they are good, but they are more expensive in the current market. We are looking for a defensive connection, but it has to be someone at the highest level."
The coach praised his acquisition players: "Christian Eriksen is experienced and has a very long career. He is creative, and I think the whole league knows what he can do. Lisandro Martinez is different, he is a warrior and aggressive and brings something different to the team. We need players who can create and defend a football team. We want to defend at a higher level this season. "
