On Wolves boss Vitor Pereira: “I think he is doing an amazing job, he is playing 3-4-3, he is doing quite well and he is changing some players. He has really quality players. Cunha, all these guys, they have a real quality, they are fresh so we know that it is going to be a tough match. And we are going to need a lot from our supporters. I know it's a bad thing to ask anything from our fans this season but we need them on Sunday.”

"I believe that we’ll face a team more confident (after the midweek victory). But as I said since the beginning, it’s about us. It’s not about Manchester United – it’s about us.

“It’s about how to do our work, how to keep our identity with personality, our ambition, to believe in ourselves, believe in our work, and play and compete for the three points."
