Erik ten Hag previews Crystal Palace v Manchester United

What is the situation with Scott Mctominay after last weekend and with Palace in mind? Are there any players going to be back? Scott, I think he he didn’t train so far this this week, but I expect him back in training on Saturday and then we have to see up to the game if he is 100% available or for part in the game. And also after the game we had an issue with Bruno. So he’s a doubt for Monday, but he will fight to get also in this game. You know all Bruno, he will never rule him out for any game. So he giving his best to be available And then Johnny Evans returned today in the team training and if he and then see tomorrow we are off and then we have two days up to the game. Marciano as well, we saw him train. He was partly in the team training, OK and there’s obviously been a lot of talk today after last night’s Champions League semi final about Jaden Sanchez’s performance. I was just wondering what you made of it. And I mean there’s he was obviously arrived for a big fee and a lot of expectation. Things haven’t gone to plan. Is there a chance he can work his way back into your thoughts, your side? So, so let’s see this. Yesterday he played very good and I talked more about it. He’s a very good player and yesterday he showed why Manchester United bought him. He show also that he represents a high value for Manchester United, so which is good and so I’m happy, happy for Jayden with his performance for from yesterday and we will see what’s going to happen in the future. Eric, you said last week that you would probably have a chance to talk to Jason Wilcox this week. Have you, have you done that and have you? Are you now putting together the kind of structure and the plan and the site for next season? No, I didn’t say I had a chance. No, definitely we we talk every day from from now and from last week. So in a very short period we have to build an intense relationship and we are working on it now and to of course to a plan. We had a plan already before we stepped in because but of course we have to get aligned with it. So and that takes time, but the same time we don’t have so much time in terms of in terms of next season given what’s happened this year and I know you’ve had a lot of injuries, but still you’re 6 and not going to qualify for the Champions League. Is there a lot of work that has to be done in the summer? It’s always has a lot of work and yeah, it sounds a little bit like where it’s normal, but it’s and it is normal that when you go in a transfer window, but that injuries had have a big impact. So we know also we are still below the levels from the expectations that Manchester United has. So we have to to catch up and I’m now going into my 5th window, I think 2 windows were quite OK Two windows we missed, yeah, and we have to make new improvements into this summer. But also there is a base in the squad which is very good and yeah, definitely the injuries had have a big impact on our season. Eric, obviously the result last night confirmed that United can’t make the Champions League now, but how important is it to ensure that you are in European football and how much of a difference does that make to some of the work that you’ve just been talking about? It’s you Will. It’s of course it’s important, but we have two opportunities and that is one over the league and one in the FA Cup final. And when you look at the work for next season to be in the Europa League, to be in the Conference League, how much a difference does that make in your mind to the players you can attract? The budget that you’ll have to play with or that side of it definitely will have an impact on the budget. But I’m sure Manchester United is a very attractive team club to play for. So many players will be very pleased and will be very happy to play for Manchester United, I’m sure. Just looking ahead to Monday, sorry, the Crystal Palace fixture, Oliver Glassman has had quite a quite a significant impact at Selhurst Park. What have you made of the the start that he’s made and he’s a manager that you’ve, that you’ve tracked previously with the work that he’s done. It’s it’s totally different. Yeah. Totally different style of play. Thank you. Listen Eric, there’s been lots of talk about an overhaul of the squad in the Summer Revolution. You’ve said there’s a good base to work with, but what did you make of reports suggesting that most of the players would the club would entertain office for and they would be up for sale? It’s a joke but that is like as long as I worked at every summer every window I think 200 players getting an interest from Manchester United and we did some research which untrue and also every summer where we sell all the plays in our squad and so you making all the headlines which is untrue. So I think be calm and also, but take some responsibility and when you make such a headline, if think, find a good source if there is some truth in it. And this is totally crap. Melissa, very good you Eric. One of the reports centered around Marcus Rashford. He wasn’t in training yet apparently still some discomfort with his injury. When are you expecting to see him back? I can’t. I can’t tell. So he was last weekend. Absence. Chef Sheffield absence. So after Coventry.
