Ole

“[With] Amad we’ve had all the paperwork, or we’re waiting for all the paperwork. I can’t see any obstacles really. Hopefully within not too long he’ll be with us. "

“I’m very excited about bringing him in. I think he’s shown a few times his qualities. Of course he has to learn to play in England, that’s a different level of football. We’ll give him time to develop and to express himself. Apart from that, I’m not really thinking too much on what we’re going to do with players. Of course, we’re always working long-term. That’s the big thing. We have targets we need long-term for the club.”


Current manager Gian Piero Gasperini

"It is clear that he is going to Manchester United, but he could still remain here for a few months with us.

"I like him a lot, he's only 18. I'd like him to stay until June, obviously it depends on his club."

[E.S.]

Ole thinks the support from the subs bench nearly makes up for no reds in the ground :-)

“We are improving and getting closer to the top and we are gelling more and more as a team. The culture in the group is getting better. You listen to the subs tonight - I know we miss our fans - but they are our fans. They are supporting their team-mates.”

[E.S.]

Ole thought Pogba did well against Villa

“Paul… well done for shielding it and he just clipped his foot [for the penalty]. I think he’s getting better and better. From midfield it’s a physical game; they’re a strong, physical side and Paul can match anyone in the league, physically, when he’s fit. At the moment he’s getting there.

“

[E.S.]

Ole was happy with Wan v Villa

“He’s getting better and better. I think that he’s getting better at most things, because he’s had a season and a half now. He’s getting used to Man United. I’m delighted with his contribution tonight.”

“Deservedly so [he was congratulated at the end] because he’s had such a difficult time with injuries. He’s such a likeable man. In that dressing room, everyone wants to see him succeed. We know how important he can be for us and tonight he was immense.”

"Towards the end you see the celebrations; that win means a lot. We should have played out the game and managed the game better towards the end though. But, a defender’s job sometimes is to clear it from the line or block it. We did that

"We created chances. I think it is always going to be a physical game. We know that they have improved massively and they gave us some challenges. There was a few times in that box when you are a bit worried. We didn’t stop their crosses well enough. When they put crosses in the box they are always dangerous but we made some fantastic blocks and saves. I am delighted with three points obviously. Don’t get me wrong, I am delighted with the three points and very happy with the performance but there are always things we need to improve on. It is early in the season and we shouldn’t be too carried away yet. It isn’t a cup final yet, but those two extra points are important.”

Wan was told to get forward v Villa

“I had the license to get forward and have an end product up there. That's what the coaches want and that's what they're helping me to do.”

“I love diving headers. I can keep on about that in crossing and finishing sessions. It was a good goal."

"Anthony is going to improve. He’s going to be better and better. He’s had a few chances this season. He’s still creating chances, he’s just not had that little bit of luck, margins in front of goal. They’ll come. We saw a better version of Anthony tonight. A more confident one,

“We’ve had some chats, of course. We have spoken about last season and how important he was for us then and he is going to be important for us this season. Player’s form is temporary but when you have got class that is permanent. I think he has proven he is class. Now he is getting fitter and fitter and that means he is going to get better and better."

“I think it’s important for us inside to understand. The club have a lot of media behind, a lot of people talking. They will be talking all the time. They want to talk when you lose, they don’t want to talk when you win, because it is better to attack than to defend the club. I think the most important thing is, inside of the group, we understand what we have to do, what we have to improve, where we are and where we want to go. For me, the most important thing is like when we lose, we are not the worst. Of course if you lose, you did mistakes and you need to go into training the next day and think what can we improve now to not make the same mistakes in the next game. For me, in life, it is always like that. In your entire life, you do mistakes. It is impossible not to do mistakes in your personal life, in football, in other sports. You always make mistakes because without mistakes, goals do not exist. It’s impossible in a game of football. Of course, if someone takes the ball and shoots from 40 yards in the first two seconds of a game, you can say maybe nobody did a mistake. But someone maybe needs to mark him and maybe the coach of the other team will think it’s a mistake from my midfielder or my defender who didn’t mark him and gave him too much space. In everything in life, you have to improve and understand you’re not the worst and you are not the best. There is always time to improve. It’s impossible to be the worst because you have time to improve, and it’s impossible to be the best because you always have time to improve. If you see Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Messi, they are improving all seasons. How is this possible? Everyone says it’s impossible to do better but, every season, they do better and better and better. It is 11 years fighting for a Ballon d’Or and this will never happen again. It will never happen again in the story of football because they are still improving and I have the chance to be with Cristiano in the national team. I see the way he wants to improve every time, in free-kicks, in shots, in headers, in penalties and you want everything. You want to improve every time. When you lose, he knows he has to improve more and when you win, he understands he needs to go to the details of the good [work] to improve a little bit more.”

"I think the one against Leipzig for Rashy. For me, it’s very important when you are in the centre of the pitch you need to know where you are, if you are marked or not, if the guy is coming to press you, where your team-mates are. I like, for me, I think that kind of pass is good on the first touch. When you see someone running from behind, it’s really, really good. I think this is the one I remember now, like think quick, make quick and doing a good thing. As I say, with the guys up front – Marcus is really quick. I just need to put the ball behind the defence and I know he’ll arrive first, before all the defenders and all the goalkeepers. I think, in that moment, the way I look before I receive the pass from Fred, I see the movement from Rashy and that is maybe the best assist I’ve made up until now.”

"I think it’s important, you know the spirit of the group is really important. I like to joke with the players. As I’ve said before, we are like a family. We spend a lot of time here [at the Aon Training Complex]. We go to the hotels and to the games and have a lot of time together. We have to have that connection, a good connection, so we are also having a good connection on the pitch. With Az, it’s not just me. Nobody knows Aaron can shoot like that. It was his first goal for Manchester, yes? His first goal in the Premier League also? So, of course, everyone was surprised because, even in training, he never shoots. With Marcus, there is always that kind of joke with him and Anto [Anthony Martial]. I say to them every time I pass to them, they never score. They never give me assists. You see again that Anto missed that chance against Leeds. Straight away, I looked at him and started smiling. He understands what I mean with that. I think it’s good, it’s positive. Of course, sometimes you have to shout at your team-mate and call him to do different things, that’s also a big part of the game, that you’re pushing a bit more for the other team-mates. Sometimes it’s with a smile, sometimes with other things, but the most important thing is understanding you’re doing your best for the team.”

I think, as I’ve said before, it’s easy when you play in a team like Manchester because there are so many good players around you. They help you to be better and I am here to help them be better. So I think, of course, numbers are really good but, as I said before, it is now that I need to start to improve. It will be more difficult from now and I mean difficult day-by-day and game-by-game because the players will know me better. Of course, I am really happy to have these numbers and, obviously, it is not easy to get to this point with these numbers but I want to do better and better, more and more. I want to finish the Premier League this season with more goals and assists than games. That would be good.”

“I think I have more goals than other midfielders also with the penalties. For me, that is the one we count. Penalties are there to be scored and you have to score. As I’ve said before, it’s part of the game. It’s important to score the penalties, important to have goals from penalties. They will be there in the future and they are there in the past. I need to keep improving in that also. I know the qualities we have from my team-mates up front, they have qualities to go one against one so many times and it’s hard to stop them. So sometimes they will need to stop them with fouls and fouls means free-kicks and penalties. I need to be ready, me and the rest of the team who can take the penalties or free-kicks or something else, we need to be ready and we have to improve on those situations. We can also score more from free-kicks and corners. We have the qualities from the takers and we have the qualities from the guys who are inside the box to attack the goal.”
