Michael Carrick on player huddles: “If they want to do it and they feel it helps them, then great. It's up to them as a group. They've got to go into battle and have that feeling between them. Whatever suits them.” #MUFC
Michael Carrick on De Ligt: “It's difficult to say, just because it's taken that much time. It's one of those things with backs that sometimes you think it's alright, and then all of a sudden it's not quite right. He's improving, but it's not improving as quick as we all hope.” #MUFC
Bruno Guimarães is on Manchester United’s radar and could move to another Premier League club. A transfer would only happen if United are willing to pay between €75m-€80m. Casemiro has been pushing behind the scenes to make the transfer happen. [@ESPNBrasil] #MUFC
Andoni Iraola on Michael Carrick:
“I don't know him personally, but I like how he speaks, how he behaves, how he makes everything about the team. And the team is playing really well. I think they are doing very well. Everything looks fantastic, but we have the problem that we have to face them tomorrow. So we will try to find some weaknesses if they have. But I'm really happy that he's doing so well.”

🚨 Elliot Anderson is viewed internally by many at United as the player the club should prioritise.
Man City are the clear frontrunners to sign Anderson at the end of the season, but United are prepared to make a substantial effort to sign him.

Michael Carrick on set-pieces: “It's good that we've had success with it. It's a little bit on the coaching staff, certainly Jonny [Evans], with his ideas and how it works with the players. To work with them is important, what suits them and what they like.
We've got certain players who are proven really, in terms of Bruno's delivery, Case and Harry [Maguire], in the way they attack the ball, as well as others.
I think it's important it's a kind of mixed decision, if you like, and what works for everyone because they've got to do it.
Jonny works with that quite closely and we've had good success, so hopefully that continues.”
