❓ Reporter: "Will it be Ruben Amorim’s tactics or yours in the next games?"

🗣️ Ruud: "Is he already announced or...?"

👀 Reporter: "I don't know, not yet..."

❗️ Ruud: "So then don't talk to somebody that's not announced."

🗣️ Ruud van Nistelrooy on his role:

"It's going to be a short job as an interim, that was communicated very clear and I was happy with that."

"I felt I was called upon to help the club forward in this situation. Obviously, it was difficult that Erik had to leave, I was very disappointed, obviously with very mixed feelings about that but you have to switch the mindset to win because 75,000 people are waiting and celebrating and millions are watching at home. That's what we tried to do, same for Sunday and then we'll see."

"I'm very motivated to stay here and help the club forward, that's my absolute goal."

On Erik ten Hag:

"I saw him on Monday and spoke to him before the (Leicester) game. He was disappointed and touched because he really cared for the club. That’s why he’s also hurt that he had to leave but also proud of his achievement here winning the two cups."

On Sir Alex Ferguson:

"I spoke to him, he wished me luck. We spoke shortly about my situation, shortly about the team. Most of all he wished me luck for the game. It is always great to speak to him."

On if he'll stay when the new manager comes in:

"We will see but it's a contract situation that I'm in and my desire to help the club forward so I can speak to you about my side of this story."

"After that, when the new situation is occurring, when the new manager is signing and conversations take place, we have to see how things develop."

"The club is in a difficult situation and it is not there where we all wanted to be but the challenge is there. That's why I'm here."

"Everyone's looking at Man United and the situation that it's in, but it's us as people on the floor here to do the utmost, supported by our fans. It's a process and it's something to work for and do everything for."

On why it went wrong for Erik ten Hag this season:

"I think in the end it's also clear in football that it's the results. Erik also said [that]. As you say, in pre-season, we had the new style, we were all very positive and working very hard to bring the club forward. There's also things you can't explain sometimes. The Brighton goal we scored, Garna via Josh in."

On results being the most important thing:

"There's been so many games where we felt we could get a better result for the way we played. I'm talking Palace, I'm talking West Ham, talking Fenerbahce, talking Porto. But in the end we also know it's about results this game and that's part of our jobs."

🗣️ Bruno Fernandes speaking on international duty:"As for the club [Manchester United], I want to improve as soon as I get there, and make sure the goals start coming again.

"I have to take responsibility for that too, because I’m a midfielder who scores a lot of goals, and over the years, I’ve always been at a very high level in terms of goals and I have to live up to that, with those expectations.

"I also have my own standards, I don’t hold back on that. I haven’t scored for the club yet and I hope that as soon as I get there I can score and help the club get back to winning ways and to a good level."
