Embargoed part of the press conference
Louis can you explain why are letting Danny go?
"You are assuming that, I dont want him to go, you are assuming, I dont speak about matters that are for the players and not you, I dont ask you if you have sex tomorrow, same thing, in my opinion the same thing, I discuss it with players and them with me and I discuss it with Ed and the Glazers, never with the players"
Is it a concern people around Welbeck are making it known he is available?
"That is the football world, we have to accept the consequences of the football world, I think a human being, in relationship to another human being, have to show their respect for each other. So what I say to the players is private, what they say to me is private, the player is responsible for his environment"
We respect you need time, the supporters do, they are concerned however they are 3,4,5 players away from standard.
"I dont think I have to discuss that, because I think that is something Ed the Glazers and my staff. It is not good for the club, the players or for me"
The manner of the defeat and injuries and not signing for 55 days will it take longer than 3 months?
"Im only saying what is my experience, i can only refer to that, clubs like Bayern or Barca are good references, I think. It can be one month, but it can also be four months, it is not a question of being champion at the end of the season because we have to build up a team. That process takes maybe longer, but that is dependable, in my other clubs we did it in the first year already, so what can i say? We need to wait and see, believe in it. When I have to say it, already 5 times in a press conference that is not a good signal.
The concern is the manner of defeat
"The fans need also to believe like Ed and the Glazers believe, we need the fans. It was amazing, after our loss, that the fans were applauding, I never had that experience, nowhere. So, when you are saying it concerns us, what I have seen, iti was amazing"
Do you expect to sign players next week and what is the situation with injuries?
"Yes, we have 7 injuries, that is alot, also in my career as a trainer coach ever had 7 injuries in my selection, last game it was 9 so we are progressing. Fellaini he has an ankle problem so we have to wait and see, because tomorrow we scan because it always better to do after 2-3 days, I cannot say anything about that, he is injured. Herrera is also injured, so 4 midfielders are out. It is a little bit thin in midfield, but that I have already explained that this is very difficult when you have a trip to the US to be prepared for the season"
"Evans is one day recovered, trained today for the first time"
"Herrera too early to say, happened yesterday, today too early for a scan"
"Marcos not available because the work permit, we have to arrange the permit"
