2023-10-12 20:55:17 Harry Maguire on his Mum striking out on Instagram after he got social media attacks following his own goal against Scotland: "She's more worried for me but I did reiterate to her that I am all good and strong mentally and I can deal with it."

On abuse he receives: "It probably affects my family more than myself as they worry how I’m dealing with it. I just tell her (Mum) all the time that I’m good."

On his lack of game time: "I mean, I'm not going to sit here all my life and play once every month and if it carries on then I'm sure myself and the club will sit down and have a chat about things.

"But, honestly, at the moment I'm fully focused on two games for England, two big games. Then I'm fully focused on fighting and trying to get back my place at Manchester United and helping the team climb up the league to where we should be.

"I have belief in my ability and what I have done in my career as every player should. Every player who is on the bench should believe they should be starting, otherwise they wouldn't be playing at a high level. I am no different.

"It has been tough, I want to play games, I want to feel important to the club and to the rest of the team. I haven’t been playing nowhere near as much as I would like."

On if he will start for the next game: "It's not my decision whether I start the next game or not. I'm unsure on that. I'm sure in a couple of weeks I'll go back and find out."

On his performance in his last games: "If you look back on my last 15 to 20 starts for club and country, I would be happy to sit here and say 'I'm really happy with my performances."

"My record under this manager speaks for itself. I haven't started as many games as I'd like, but my win percentage when I've played is ridiculously high."

"And of course, there's times when I can do more and times when I can improve and help the team, but, yeah, I'm just wanting to help the team.
I’m wanting to help the team get out of this position that we're in at the moment and hopefully we can do that in the coming weeks." Open / Comment

2023-10-12 01:59:01 Christian Eriksen on Rasmus Hojlund:

"He is very mature in his approach to things. Of course, he sometimes says some things that are... youth things, I don't even think the words exist, but he has his head in the right place."

"I think Rasmus [Hojlund] has been a wise purchase. He's a guy who fits into the squad, fits into the way of playing, understands the coach's ideas, and he's a good guy who works hard."

"We've been out to eat, he's been over at my house. He doesn't need to be put in place. I have given him my advice, and he has chosen to live close to the stadium and the training facility, so he has listened there!" Open / Comment

2023-10-11 20:10:15 Richard Arnold on learnings from the Mason Greenwood saga:

"The first is around continuing to strengthen the education and welfare support to players to make sure at the front of mind is promoting healthier relationships and behaviours. We’ve also reviewed our process for dealing with allegations to make sure that we have a robust and consistent framework for the future.

"The other learning we’ve taken is to listen to feedback from domestic abuse charities and other groups and, in particular, Women’s Aid. And we’ve worked very closely with them for a period of time to make sure that the language we use is sensitive to the perspectives of abuse survivors who may not be at all involved in the case that we’re referring to but find, understandably, the situation very sensitive and we’ll continue that engagement going forward."

2023-10-10 18:30:23 From Jadon Sancho's point of view, the crux of the issue is that no matter how badly Antony plays or no matter how many mistakes Antony makes, he always gets picked.

Erik Ten Hag favours him and the Brazilian gets treated like the manager's golden child - and he knows and acts like it.

His signing last year has been the start of the issue between Ten Hag and Sancho.
