Erik ten Hag

When you want to have a good attacking transition, you need very good pressing. That's key.

You have to be ready for every game.

If you want to be in four competitions, you have to be so prepared and have so much energy with a good game plan.

Everyone is highly motivated when you go to Anfield, it's a great place to go. You know it's going to be tough and what every top footballer wants is that challenge.

Every time you have to swap your back four, it's difficult.

Communication is important, it's all split-second decisions. You need that cooperation and it has to work 100%. When it doesn't work, you concede goals.

I think I have a clear idea about strategy. The way I want to play football but also in the way a top football club has to be structured.

I think every player wants to be at the World Cup and it's once in four years.

We want to play proactive, attacking football where it's possible.

As coaches, you don't really have much time off.

Antony: I backed him for a long time. I know his abilities and he has great abilities. When he plays like I know from the past he is unstoppable, no defender can stop him because he's one of the quickest players in the first 10 yards.

I know footballers are not robots, sometimes they have bad days.

I think especially Harry Kane, I have huge respect because he is a great striker, one of the best ever. Maybe he can even be the best striker ever in the Premier League.

Always I think you have to get the motivation out of yourself: you want to play your best football.

He has to fight for his position. He is a very good centre-back, and I believe in the potential of Harry Maguire. It's just that he has to prove himself and fight his way into the team.

In the end, top football is about getting results and then you have to make decisions but you have to do it in an honest and transparent way.

Football is about winning trophies.

At the end of the day, I want to play the best football.

If you do that in a high block or in a low block, that is a tactic that can be both ways. I prefer to do it in a high way, in high pressing, but it will not always be the case. There's also situations, games that you are lower. But what I demand from my team is that they press.

For me, pressing is an important factor. If you want to have initiative in a game I think it's necessary.

I am always honest.

When we have good people around, with the right connection and the right commitment we will achieve the success we want.

The intention is to play fantastic football. If we can't play fantastic football, we still have to win.

I want to build a team who are battling for each other, who are unified and who will get results.

Our approach is we want to win every game. It doesn't matter who the opponent is.

I am a realistic person.

I think it is very important you are on one page about football philosophy, about football tactics, about the profiles of the players you need in the team so it is very important to have very good communication so you get the right players.

When you have the ball, the opponent cannot score.

I think what is true, the Premier League is high, intense football, but I also think La Liga is a strong league.

It is one of the most important factors to develop a good team, that you have the right players but also the right characters.

At Manchester United, it is all about winning football games. It is not so complicated.

When you are a player at Manchester United, you have to manage yourself. You have to take responsibility for your performance and your performance in the team.

When you want to play top football, it demands a certain way of life. Always.

Some games are bigger than others.

United vs Liverpool is always a big game, especially in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

I have to make choices around players who are not performing and pick the best team. My accountability is in favour of the club and in favour of the team.

I like to work with world-class players because I know they can make a difference to help you achieve your objectives.

I will never gamble with a player, never. It's about them, their futures. The safety, health of the player is high level.

A fanatical audience is nice to play before.

In football it is eat or get eaten.

Confidence is a great thing.

Many players will be very happy to play for Manchester United, I'm sure.

What I always do after every game: I analyse the game, what went well, what went wrong, where can we improve, what do we have to improve, how we can train and we tell the players and show them how to improve to get solutions.

Guardiola had great players at Barcelona, like Andreas Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Xavi and others. But it takes a lot of quality from a coach to make top players play in a great way as a team. You have to convince them that they each have a role in that team. Guardiola is a master of that.

Guardiola only wants to win games with beautiful football, just like his teacher Johan Cruyff.

Nobody will ever forget Guardiola. He has won so many trophies for a start - but it is mainly about how his teams play.

Only once in his career has Pep made a mistake - in his first year at Manchester City when he completely underestimated the power and speed of the Premier League. He realised that you can't play the kind of football he loves without having a couple of physically strong athletes - and so he brought them in. So he's not a stubborn coach.

As a team, act with togetherness, so have the same ideas in every situation. That means bravery.

Always it is a way of playing, in possession, so you give each other options, scanning the right moment to situation, taking the right decisions, go forward where it's possible, defending, be front foot, be aggressive. That means what is brave.

Top football is about results but you want to do it in a certain way, be proactive, adventure, also entertain, top football is about winning and also entertaining the fans, top football you play for the fans.
