00:00Hi, Ruben. Commiserations. You said in your interview with the BBC that you need to work on some things for the next game.

00:17What was it that you saw today that you weren't happy with?

00:20If you look at the goals, we can avoid that kind of goals.

00:23With Okoui, we have almost everyone behind the ball and we could be more aggressive.

00:31The second goal in the moment of the game that we are pressing City.

00:37We suffer a goal in the throw-in when we want to recover the ball instead of covering the space and then to win the ball.

00:44We let two players of City, one against one.

00:47The approach that we had in that play, we can avoid and we can close our goal.

00:53And then the third goal, Alan has all the space, confusion with our players and then he has all the space to play.

01:01So in these moments, I felt that if you look at the goals, there are that moments we could avoid.

01:08And that is the key of the game is to take advantage of these moments.

01:14They took it and not in us in transitions. Great shot from Ryan.

01:20In those moments, they were better than us.

01:24Ruben, it's eight Premier League wins since you've been here.

01:28At some stage, you're going to have to accept that the way you set up your team is just not working.

01:34It's not creating enough wins and people are finding it easy to play against you.

01:41Finding it easy to play against you?

01:44Guys, I understand that and I accept.

01:51So it's not a record that you should have in Manchester United.

01:56There are a lot of things that you have no idea what happened during these months, but I accept that.

02:03But I'm not going to change.

02:04When I want to change my philosophy, I will change.

02:06If not, you have to change the man.

02:08And we'll talk about that every game that we lose.

02:13I don't believe in that in the system or whatever.

02:16So I play my way and I'm going to play my will until I want to change.

02:23David?

02:25We can hear you. Go on.

02:29Can you understand why fans can't see that after a result?

02:37No, I understand everything.

02:39And losing faith in your ability to kind of turn to change.

02:42That is normal.

02:43With the results, again, I accept that.

02:46I don't see that way.

02:48I see that we are doing better, but then the results doesn't show that.

02:54Again, I remember last year we played in the former club.

03:00We played against City.

03:01We won 4-1.

03:02It was not near the opportunities, the way we control the game compared to today.

03:07But in certain moments, we were not better than City.

03:10So I understand that.

03:12And it's hard.

03:13And the record says everything.

03:15So I understand.

03:16What is your message to those fans who have lost?

03:18My message is that I'm going to give everything.

03:21I will do everything always thinking about what is best for the club.

03:25That was always the same message.

03:28And then, it's not my decision.

03:33The rest.

03:34So until I'm here, I will do my best.

03:37I really want to win games.

03:39So I'm suffering more than them.

03:42Last question, James.

03:43Bruno, I know you're searching for solutions in the right pairing in that number six position.

03:51Those two deep midfielders.

03:52But you're playing, obviously, Bruno there.

03:55He's been far and away United's best and most consistent player for a very, very long time.

04:01You're best playing.

04:02You've now taken your best player out of his best position.

04:05And he looks compromised.

04:07Is that not just adding to the conundrum and the difficulties and over-complicating the situation?

04:13Guys, I understand how football it is.

04:16And the results will dictate all the narratives.

04:19Against Arsenal, who is playing against Arsenal?

04:21You think we played well?

04:23We think we were the better team?

04:25You think Odegaard, Rice and I think Zubi Mendy are three top midfielders?

04:34Yeah.

04:35We play with three.

04:36We play with two.

04:37One was Casemiro.

04:38The other was Bruno.

04:39Sometimes it's the dynamic of the team.

04:41Sometimes it's an opportunity that you score.

04:44I see it that way.

04:45I know that it's really hard for people.

04:47And the fans don't want to hear me saying these things.

04:51And they know that they are not going to listen to nothing and going to be upset.

04:55With that, I cannot do nothing.

04:57I'm trying to be rational and I don't lie to myself.

05:00So I see the record.

05:02I understand the frustration of everybody and I understand any decision that came with

05:06that.

05:07But that conversation about the two midfielders, the pair, Kobe and Maino, I understand all

05:13these narratives.

05:14But then when I look at certain games, we play with two.

05:17It's the same thing.

05:18But today when we imagine the game, why not use Ahmad, Brian, Sesko and Bruno behind?

05:33With the ball.

05:34To be the first guy receiving the ball and then with a lot of pace in front.

05:39So I'm trying to do different things, trying to imagine the game.

05:42And then when you don't win, doesn't work, you take the critics.

05:45But that's it.
