Transcript from Solskjaer and van de Beek press conference on 1 December 2020

The Reds head into the encounter needing a point to secure our passage to the last-16 and the boss was asked about his approach to the game, his thoughts on our hopes of mounting a title challenge and the transfer window.

As for Donny, the midfielder was quizzed on playing with Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani, adapting to life at United and more.

We’ve typed up every word from this bumper-length press conference for you to view…

We should probably start with Edinson Cavani. The club’s made a statement, he’s made a statement. What’s your take on the situation and have you spoken to the player?
OGS: “Yes of course, we’ve communicated with Edinson and he’s really deeply sorry for the mistake he’s made. There was no malicious intent at all. It was just an affectionate greeting to a friend of his. But we explained it to him. He’s been asked by the FA to explain so of course he’ll co-operate with them and we’ll support him. I think it’s one of those unfortunate situations where he’s just come into the country and, in Uruguay, it’s been used in a different affection to what we have. We’ll support him but, of course, we support the FA. It’s important that the FA have asked him to explain and it’s out there for everyone to see because we want to be in the fight against discrimination with everyone.”
