“We need to give them the environment where they can improve. We need to make sure they're adapting quickly to the intensity, but I saw a lot of positive things from them today.” (1/2)

Brighton’s Hurzeler after #MUFC loss: "Easy mistakes today. We didn’t give away too many chances. We decided how this game ends, we decided to play in a negative way. My team has the quality to win games like today, but the execution was not good enough."

Amorim on #MUFC signing Mbeumo: “When we feel that this player wants to come here, no matter what, no matter what the position (of the club), Champions League or not, we give everything to win these kind of guys and that was the case (this summer).”
25.10.2025 19:58 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Amorim on Mbeumo: “He’s a working machine, so good in transitions, he’s improving his connection with Amad [Diallo]. These two guys are really hard to beat because they change position, they are really fast, good one against one.”
#MUFC
Amorim on Man United: “[My players] are more confident. The best game we’ve had this season was vs Arsenal, but when you are a little bit more confident, when you have a different spirit, sometimes you have a little bit luck in certain moments of the game, that helps you to win games”
#MUFC

Pep Guardiola on #ManCity’s over-reliance on Erling Haaland: “Yep [it’s a concern]. We have to score more.
“When we create, we have to score. [My attackers] are good in training, good at finishing… and I don’t have any doubts when they unlock, those players will score.”
#MCIEVE | #PL | #Haaland
Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland: “He could've scored four or five. He's our key man, what can I say? At the same time, we cannot rely on, and we want to do good things not just with Erling.
"Our wingers, attacking midfielders, others have to make the step up.”
