00:00And first of all, just wondering what your reaction is to Marcus Rashford saying that he's ready for a new challenge
00:06I
00:08Think he's right. We have here a new challenge. Is that is a tough one?
00:13For me is the biggest challenge in in football
00:17Because because we are in the difficult situation and already said that this this is one of the biggest clubs in the world
00:25This is really a new challenge and the biggest one and I hope my all my players are ready for this new challenge
00:33As he wanted a new challenge elsewhere and have you spoken to Marcus about no, no, not yet
00:37Not yet. It was yesterday. I gave the off to the to the lads. So
00:44He's our player in these ready to to the next game
00:50You
00:51Having left someone with this bigger bigger profile as Marcus. Do you have to then?
00:58Talk to him about his future and your future or do you just kind of go on the training pitch expecting to be there?
01:06And whatever happens behind the scenes in terms of whether he's part of your squad or not just happen
01:12I spoke with a lot of players
01:16individually and
01:18During trainings
01:20What I want is to take the best of of
01:23Marcus Rashford as the all the the players so I don't talk about the future just talk about the present
01:30I want the best of each one of them and that is the the key point for me
01:34I just want to to win and to help the team to be to be better
01:38So we are better with Marcus Rashford and that's simple and we try different things to push Marcus to the best level that
01:45He's shown in the past. So that that's all
01:51Simon's question that you'd be quite happy for Marcus to stay here and be part of
01:57You're what you're trying to build to buy into what you're trying to of course because you
02:02This kind of club needs big talents and is a big talent. So we just need to perform
02:09At the highest level and that is my focus. I just want to help Marcus
02:14When there is a lot of concern over players future like Marcus, what impact might I have on the rest of the squad?
02:19I'm concerned to you about the other players. What message do you need to get across?
02:23I think they are more simple than that. They focus on on their job
02:29Everyone they are
02:31All the players that was a player and we are a little bit
02:34Selfish so they are focused on in their job to win the place in in this team
02:38So I think the is not even an impact in the team
02:44In terms of Marcus and Gannaccio, are they both likely to be involved against Spurs tomorrow?
02:49we have one more training but there is the same situation of all the other players if they
02:55the
02:56If they train well
02:58Then I have to make a choice
03:00We'll see in the in the end of the training
03:02Would you expect a response from both of them on the park to sort of make a point?
03:06Of course, I expect the best of each player every day. So we'll see after the training
03:14I know you need to have that conversation with Marcus before you make a decision at the weekend's game
03:19But if you do find out that a player wants to leave the club, would he be a part of the dressing room?
03:24Would you want to play like that round until January?
03:27This is this is in the future
03:29My focus is that to have all the players in the best that they can can be to prepare each game
03:36So we are talking about if if if there is no whiff in this kind of club
03:41It's just talk to them and let's focus on the game
