[10] Andreas Pereira says he wants to focus on United and not on choosing an international future with either Belgium or Brazil.

"I want to focus on Manchester United in the first place. I haven't made my mind up,"

"If I ever have the chance to play for Brazil, I won't hesitate. But I've always played in the Belgian national youth ranks.

"And I did feel at home there, in contrary to what's claimed in Brazil. The door's not closed yet."

Michael Keane

"I've got a bit of experience now in the Championship and I know what it takes to play well in these games,"

"I'm looking to play well on Sunday and hit the ground running and keep that form up.

"I'm sure it will be a tough game but I'm confident we can get a result.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I hope it's my debut and I'll make sure I'm ready to do well."


Gary Bowyer (Blackburn manager)

"He is highly sought-after,"

"He has had a good education with Manchester United and he has got experience already in the Championship with his time on loan at two top clubs."

[14] Uwe Rosler is happy with on-loan Nick Powell’s contribution for Wigan against Sheffield Wednesday

“It’s great to have Nick Powell back out there and the first thing he was involved with he played a brilliant pass to send James McClean forward.

“His quality in that moment gave the whole stadium and the team a lift. Callum McManaman gave us some of those moments as well and Marc-Antoine Fortune worked as hard as he always does, he really helped us towards the end.”

coach Warren Joyce talking after the game

"I've said to them that really, in 90 minutes, regardless of whatever frustrations we might have about the development and fact we didn't do well enough, we've still got a five-game unbeaten run,"

"We have to be a lot better on Friday than we were on Monday to get the right result.

"Obviously, I'm disappointed to go out because it's a competition we've won several times in the last few years but I'm more disappointed with the performance. We've had a good run of form and played slick football with a lot of energy about our play as well, but I didn't think that was there.

"Sometimes, you can have gut feelings before the game and, when I looked at them in the warm-up, I just thought one or two were not quite mentally as sharp as they should be and that showed in their play.

"This group obviously had disappointment in the UEFA Youth League and we've put some demands on them in the last few weeks. They responded really well but, at times when it's not going great for you, you have got to see games out. To concede in the way we did was really disappointing as it was just basic things."

United recall Charni Ekangamene on loan from Carlisle


Carlisle manager Graham Kavanagh


"Charni is a great lad and we wish him all the best with Manchester United. We saw some good stuff from him but it became a complicated situation with the fact he needed to be playing for the development squad down there. Warren Joyce and Man United have been superb for us with all of their players so this is one we completely understand. Like I say, he's a good player and I'm sure he'll do well."

Mats Daehli on why he chose Cardiff instead of returning to Manchester United


"I went to Manchester United as a 15-year-old and it was my dream to play for them. But I know the Cardiff manager so well and wanted to play for him again. It felt safe to choose Ole. He knows me and what I stand for as a player. I was sure that he would give me the chance, and he did. So I believe that I did the right choice."

[14] Lingard on his hero

"Growing up at United, Ryan Giggs is my hero.

"He is one of those flair players that excites fans. I like players who run at people and dribbling is one of my main attributes. People love to see it, you have to get the supporters out of their seats.

[15] Red on loan, Jesse Lingard has had a good loan spell at Brighton and wants to take that good feeling back to Manchester

"I'll go back to Old Trafford with sky-high confidence. Players out on loan have got to keep playing our own game and see where it takes us.

"The games left here are going to be tough but, if we take the mentality we had this week against Leicester and Charlton into these games, we are going to push on."
