🚨 Rooney on when he knew Manchester United were back:
🗣️ Reporter:
“Carrick beat Manchester City & Arsenal in his first few weeks. Was that when you knew United were back?”
🗣️ Wayne:
“Not really. We’ve seen United beat the big teams before and then go and drop points against a team fighting relegation the following week. For me, the real test was Fulham.
That’s the sort of game old United would’ve found a way to make difficult. Then Cunha won a penalty. VAR changed it to a free kick. I thought, ‘Let’s see their reaction.’
Bruno puts the ball in. Casemiro scores. It didn’t even look like United cared that the penalty had gone. They treated the free kick like it was just another way of scoring.
Then Fulham fought back. It became 2-2. Again I thought, ‘Let’s see their reaction.’ Bruno finds Sesko. Goal. That’s when I knew. Not because they beat City or Arsenal. Because when the game stopped going their way…they still found a way to win.”
🚨🎙️ | Thiago Alcântara on Kobbie Mainoo:
"I LOVE him... where would I play him? As a no.8, because he's capable to defend and be aggressive. He's able to dribble, to arrive to the box and SCORE goals.
"So you are an 8, the way he BEHAVES on a pitch you couldn't leave him as a 10, like they're pressing the defenders or... you have to leave him in the middle as a no.8 knowing that there's someone behind him KICKING someone, because if he gets him the ball, he will give it and he can progress the ball and arrive to the box."

🗣️ “Do you suffer more when a goal is disallowed or when you are substituted?”.
