August 24th, 19:30, Premier League Round 2, Manchester United face an away challenge against Brighton. Before the game, Manchester United’s manager Ten Hag attended a press conference where he discussed player injuries and preparations.
Regarding Team Injuries
“It is confirmed that Lindelof has a toe issue. I hope he can return as soon as possible, but he won’t be able to play this weekend. Hojlund is also unable to play due to a hamstring injury, along with Malacia and Luke Shaw.”
Regarding Sancho’s Possible Return
“We will have to wait and see. Personally, I want two players for every position in the team. Before the transfer window closes on September 1st, it means you can’t select all players for one game. But we need all players throughout the season because it will be a survival of the fittest season. We must manage it, but the attitude of the players is also important. Sometimes they will be disappointed, but they must handle it.”
“So before then, we need all players in the team, and we need high levels of positivity. This is not an expectation, but a requirement from the club and the coach. The team is above everything, and it’s always more important than any individual.”
Regarding Transfer Market News
“Please be patient, we are working hard, and we will always strive to build the best squad. So we still have a few days, and the approach will always improve. Of course, at this moment, I cannot disclose any news.”
