🎙️ | Diogo Dalot:
"Every player has to make that self-assessment and understand what they need to sacrifice this year in order to reach May and still be competing for all the trophies."
"You have to make choices and you have to sacrifice something, whether at a personal level or a professional level. It could mean less time with your family in order to spend more time at the training ground recovering, or whatever it may be."

🎙️ | Diogo Dalot:
"I think the big advantage we had from last season was that we finished the campaign leaving
a very positive image, creating expectations among the fans and also within ourselves that
this year we can compete."

🎙️ | Diogo Dalot:
"We are creating a good atmosphere within the group, a strong squad, and I believe we can handle this schedule [4 competitions] and accumulate these matches while always having good options within the squad."

🎙️ Diogo Dalot on the biggest challenge of being a #mufc player:
"I believe the biggest challenge of being a Manchester United player is managing expectations, especially because of the noise that comes from outside towards the inside, rather than the other way around."
"We always try to keep that noise away and separate from what we do every day. But it can also be difficult, especially for players who don’t have much experience at this club, to know how to deal with this situation."

🚨🎙️ | Michael Carrick:
"It's the kind of weeks we WANT to have, you know. We want to be part of.
"We've been used to having for a long period of time where you're playing a lot of games in #UCL and big league games...
"Everton away, [Man] City and a Champions League game in the middle is as GOOD as it gets.
"So yeah, we're delighted to have the week. The boys are looking forward to it. You know, as a squad we're strong and yeah, we're READY."
🚨🎙️ | Michael Carrick on the development of James Garner and Hayden Hackney:
"Jimmy, it's great to see him go on and do so well and get in the England squad and push for the World Cup place.
"And he's done fantastic for himself, so I'm delighted. He always had the ability, Jimmy. He was always a big hope of ours coming through, and to see him go on and having the career that he has is great.
"You know, you take a little pride in that as a football club to see that.
"Hayden, yeah, of course, I worked with him really closely and really enjoyed working with him.
"Fantastic player, younger player at the time, and he done some really good things for us at Middlesbrough.
"o again, to see him go on and progress in his career, granted come Sunday, you know, we don't want them to do too well, but it is, as a coach and just on a level really, to see people you know and the lads you know like that do so well, it is good to see..." ❤️🏴
🚨🎙️ | Michael Carrick asked whether Benjamin Šeško is fit to start:
"Ben's good. Ben's good. He obviously missed some time, and we had to take him out of it a little bit and give him some time to kind of recover.
"He's back training. He's looking GOOD. He's getting stronger all the time.
"So yeah, he's in a good place, Ben, and obviously came off the bench, and so he's more and more part of it, and he's getting fitter all the time. So that's good. It's great to have him back."
🚨🎙️ | Michael Carrick on Everton:
"TOUGH game. Never had anything else going to Everton away. It's ALWAYS a tough game.
"And the game can change and flip so quickly, you know, with the supporters and the atmosphere that they generate.
"So we're TOTALLY expecting that. They've had a good start. They've got some really good players in the team, attacking players, and so we're totally expecting a tough game.
"And we've got to be close, if not at our best, to get the result we want."
