Lonnick: Sancho needs to be more confident and we'll give him everything he needs

Ahead of the match against Brentford, Lonnick was interviewed by United's official website, in which he talked about the current state of the team, as well as Jesse Lingard, Pogba, Martial and Sancho.

About Martial

"I've said what I need to say before, he's not part of this team anymore and you guys can draw your own conclusions from that. I talked to him last Sunday and I think the problem has been resolved. ”

About Sancho

"The Bundesliga and the Premier League are completely different leagues, the Premier League is more confrontational, the pressure will be greater, and people will expect more of you. He was only 18 when he first arrived at Dortmund, now he is in his 20s and he has become a player for one of the biggest clubs in the world. He hasn't found his form yet, and I think that has something to do with some of the ideas in his own head. Sancho, whom I saw in training, was completely fine, and he was always proving himself to be one of the best players in training. The question now is how to get him to play at the same level on the pitch. ”

About Lingard

"For me, the victory of the game is the most important thing, and it also involves the issue of formation selection. We have now decided to play 4-3-3 and while Jesse Lingard can play two positions on the pitch, there is fierce competition in those positions and he needs to show enough to get a chance to start. The number of players in our squad is a bit huge at the moment and I know his contract is going to expire this summer and I gave him the chance to play, against Aston Villa. Also, there's Van de Beek, who couldn't play against Brentford because he had some problems with his ankle. ”

About how to activate Sancho

"Actually their problem is more about confidence, they need to realise how good they are and then show it in front of the fans. In the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League, he has the ability to do that, like I said, he has been showing a high level in training and now the question is how to get him to play at the same level on the pitch. In a 4-3-3 formation, he is a player who can play in both wing positions, whether left or right, he can play. I think he prefers the left side because he can cut inside to finish the shot. I'm still a winger because he has a good ability to break through and he's fast. For me, it's not about where he's in, it's about how to get him to play to his ability. ”

About the winter window

"I've talked to players who don't have enough playing time and I totally understand their mood. But this requires consensus on two points, one is that there needs to be a team to provide a suitable offer, and the other is that two clubs need to be able to reach a consensus. I fully understand the mood of these players who want more game time and if they can get the right offer from other clubs, I will not interfere and I will bless them. ”

About Pogba

"His contract is due this summer and hopefully his performance in the next three or four months will be enough to help us." For me, if a player's contract is about to expire, then his willingness to stay here and whether he is willing to continue to give in this team is my focus. Pogba, who has now recovered and is training for the team, wants to show Manchester United fans what he is capable of all over the world, even for a new contract, and I hope he can show his attitude. ”

About Sancho's future

"Sancho is currently living up to huge expectations, which is completely different from what it was in the Dot era. Everyone wants him to be one of the best players in the team, which is a challenge for him psychologically and emotionally, but that's exactly what he has to do to become a top player. We will provide him with all the help he needs, but the person who takes action must be himself. ”
