Read what the manager had to say to the media following our defeat to Manchester United in New Jersey

on the midfield trio of Havertz, Rice and Odegaard: When they play 55 times together they will be better. It will flow better, they will understand each other better and will be more dominant and better. But it takes time to glide and we have to respect that. But I saw a lot of positive things, and things I like much more than the game we won the other day against the MLS even though the result is very different.

Sounds like this is very much a preseason of get that midfield trio to gel as quickly as possible.

on what he learnt from the game: That I hate to lose and we all hate to lose. That is the biggest lesson, that I don’t like losing and I don’t like the feeling that I have right now.

Same boss, same.
