On November 10, 2024, Beijing time, in the 11th round of the 2024/25 Premier League season, Manchester United will face Leicester City. Before the match, Manchester United’s manager Louis van Gaal attended a press conference.
About Player Information
Yesterday, we paired Uga with Eriksen for 30 minutes, and it proved effective. Mount finally made his appearance, and I am delighted to have him back. We hope Shaw and Yorro can return soon as well. Diarra is still under assessment, and the team is working hard to help him recover. Menou’s rehabilitation is making progress, but he still needs more time.
About My Last Match
I don’t know if I will be emotional. I strive for a pragmatic style and am proud to have achieved all this. We’ll see the results of the weekend’s match, but apart from that, there is no new news. Rúben and I are focusing on the game itself.
About My Future
When I joined the club as an assistant coach, I carefully considered this question. I knew I was joining at a special moment, and I felt I wanted to be part of the club, even as an assistant. I have clear managerial ambitions and signed a two-year contract here. I still have the same mindset. I believe the club’s future is more important than my own. For now, I started as an assistant, and four matches won’t change that.
About My Coaching Performance
In the past three matches, the team has performed well. We advanced to the next round of the League Cup, secured a good score against Chelsea, and I even think we could have earned more points. We also secured an important victory in the Europa League. So, I believe the team’s momentum is changing. Of course, we need to perform even better against Sunday’s opponent. I have delivered on my promise to stabilize the ship with results. The last match is significant, and the three matches have passed quickly.
About Whether Manchester United Needs a More Mature Striker
Yes, I agree. When you want to succeed in the Premier League or even in Europe, you need a certain number of goals. This is why top teams have such players. Currently, we have some strikers who can score and assist, but they are still in their developmental stage. Perhaps they believe they have the potential to become such players. This is the stage our team is currently in.
About Temporarily Lagging in the League Table
I think the results themselves make this a reality. Managing a team that has won two out of the last three matches is easier, and the connection with the fans is still there. Everyone feels we can turn things around, and this is exactly what is happening.
