“We felt the players out there, you have got Mason [Greenwood], Marcus [Rashford, who are] matchwinners in their own right,“ he replied. ”Bruno [Fernandes], Edi [Cavani], of course, they can create anything.

When they have [Pau] Torres and [Raul] Albiol in there to make crosses it is always going to be difficult. We needed to play our way into the box quicker.
