00:00Ruben, congratulations on the win, are you particularly pleased with how the players
00:16were out in the second half given how the first half ended?
00:19Yes, I think once again after we scored a goal we were a little bit sloppy on the ball
00:26and that gave a little bit of hope to the opponent but we created a lot of chances in the first
00:31half also, we should have finished that half in a different way and then in the half time
00:39they understood that we have everything to win the game, to win three points and they
00:43did that, I think the pace, the quality that we showed in the second half, understanding
00:47that the moment of Wolves is really hard as a team, as a club, so we took advantage of
00:52that.
00:53On the front three, I think that's the time they started together that looked pretty
00:57good in all those five games, are you encouraged how well they've adapted because the system
01:02normally you'd have an out-and-out striker in there?
01:04Yeah, I think especially with system v system, if you take some of the reference and Cunha
01:12can help us to do that, we need to avoid the crosses and I think we have more space to corner
01:19runs, all this type of play and the quality that they have when they have a little bit
01:23of space, I think they did really well and they understood the type of game that they
01:27should play with the characteristics that they have.
01:30time.
01:31When you get a win that size, I know we've had this conversation many times before, is it
01:37more important now that you show that tonight is not a one-off, that you can put these runs
01:44of good performances together?
01:47First of all, I think we are in the league that is really hard to win every week and
01:52you can sense that by watching the table.
01:56Then this is a specific case, we face a team that is really, really struggling and you can
02:01sense in every situation of the game.
02:05So the next game is going to be completely different, so we need to know that.
02:10But in our club it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter the run that you have, the moments if
02:15you played quite well the last game, what matters is the way we are going to play the
02:20next one.
02:21So let's focus on that.
02:23We need to improve the way we play, I think we need to find a different way to play sometimes.
02:30So we are thinking about that, we are working on that and Vermont is going to be a different
02:35world.
02:36Have you been given any concrete decision about Brandon Bwemel and Ahmad and Nusa over Africa?
02:44The club is talking with the national teams, let's wait for the middle of the week.
02:54I don't know for sure, but we are doing our job and the national teams are talking with
02:59us and that is a good sign.
03:02Let's see.
03:03Ruben, you have said before about how much you appreciate Mason Mann, do you really feel
03:07he is starting to live out consistently strong performances now in United?
03:10I think also the way we play is if you compare the pass that he had with Chelsea, he is the
03:19same and then he has a great quality, he can defend, he can attack, it is really the quality
03:26that when he touches the ball, he is really good.
03:30It is not a surprise for me, but of course we need to take care of him sometimes.
03:35Sometimes you need to protect them in training and in games, but when you build that, it is
03:41going to happen the same thing with Luke Shaw.
03:44So he is going to build that and he is going to be really important for our club.
03:48Do you see him as a leader in the dressing room?
03:50It is a different type of leader.
03:52It is not like Lice, for example.
03:55It is a guy that leads by the example.
03:58It does not matter the situation, Mason Mount is always the same thing.
04:02Training, talking, dealing with people around Carrington.
04:06That is not easy.
04:07So he is a very good player.
04:11When you touched on Mason there, is that why he has not been in the team all the time,
04:16not starting all the games?
04:17Sometimes it is the tactical issue when you play a striker and sometimes Cunha is going
04:23to that position, but sometimes it is also we need to protect Mason Mount.
04:30We need to build the same thing that we did with Luke last year.
04:33We are doing with Mason taking care of him.
04:36Just on the hard time, I think Mason mentioned some easy words, shall we say, and you said
04:41that the team realised they had everything to beat.
04:43What was that like?
04:44It is simple.
04:46I think you need to be really distracted when you look at Everton.
04:52Three points that we could have.
04:54More two points against West Ham.
04:56Look at the table.
04:57Look at the environment.
04:59Look at everything.
05:00So if you have everything there, let's do everything.
05:03Sometimes you get the result.
05:05Sometimes you lose points, but I think if you look at the first half, you need to understand
05:12that we need to win the second half.
05:15It doesn't matter the result.
05:16If you score one, you need to score two.
05:18And then with a different margin in the game, you can play the ball with more quality.
05:27I'm really proud of everyone today.
05:40They did a very good job.
05:41I think Aiden has a great future.
05:44He's really hard to beat.
05:48He adapts really well in the centre.
05:50We have Mata and Harry with problems.
05:54Of course, he needs more rhythm to play 90 minutes.
06:00Sometimes he plays man-v-man in that position.
06:03And I think he did really well.
06:05And I really enjoyed to see him with the ball.
06:07And that was a very good point in his game.
06:09I know after West Ham, you said you maybe hope to have him tonight.
06:13Is there any update on when he comes back?
06:15I don't know.
06:16I don't know.
06:17Sometimes you have an idea, but then you have to see day by day.
06:21So I'm not going to say that when he's going back.
06:24Thank you guys.
