Erik ten Hag’s key quotes from part one of pre-Chelsea press conference | 3 April

WE KEEP GOING“I have been in football long enough to know, and what some of you should also understand, is that such things happen. Sometimes, you are not playing good but we are Man United and you still have to win. When you are winning, you can’t give it away in the way we did, that is the biggest disappointment for me. We also have to see the trends line over a long period and I would say, from Christmas, on it has been positive. We keep going.”

APPROACH TO INJURIES

“You can’t prevent it and you also see it is not only us. The standards that the Premier League, in terms of intensity, are so high and the overload into the schedule, also with international football, is so huge. We have all internationals in our squad and you see it is not only us. [Manchester] City has problems, Liverpool has problems, Newcastle has problems, there are many other teams. In this moment, especially the defending department [is struggling]. But, in midfield and in the frontline, the players are available.”
