Lonnick: Hopefully, the likes of Van der Beck will return in the future Our full-backs need to be both offensive and defensive

Live bar February 3 news At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 5, the fourth round of the English FA Cup, Manchester United will sit at home to meet Middlesbrough. Before the game, Manchester United interim manager Ronnick attended a press conference and he talked about some of the current situation of the team.

Got distracted this week?

Lonnick: "Actually, we did a good job of training for a regular week, including today's training session, where we trained five times a week. Obviously, Greenwood is a topic within our team, but we're all human. Greenwood was part of the team before our winter break. This week we have no problems training, we can train under normal circumstances and we are looking forward to tomorrow's game. ”

About Lingard

Longnick: "Three weeks ago, Jesse Lingard didn't want to leave, and then he changed his mind. I talked to him 10 days ago and I totally understand why he's leaving, he's for his future, for the chance to play in the World Cup. I told him that if he found a suitable club and a suitable solution was found between clubs, I would allow him to leave. But as things went on, things changed and we didn't have a deal with any other club, so we had to make the final decision to keep Jesse Lingard until the end of the season. ”

Was the Greenwood affair a factor that left Lingard?

Lonnick: "In a way, yes, but the club and the board told me they couldn't come to an agreement with any club that was interested in Jesse Lingard. The transfer window closed Monday night and the board told me they'd rather have Jesse Lingard stay, so I can understand and accept that. We had problems with Greenwood and our club didn't have a deal with other clubs on Jesse Lingard's transfer. ”

About the squad of the team

Lonnick: "As I said before, some of the squads are a bit too big, we have too many players who don't see the chance to get regular game time. Van der Beek, Martial and Amade Diallo deserve regular game time and I wish them all the best and that's where I'm happy for the club. Diallo has played in his new club's first game and scored goals, I'm pretty sure Van der Beek and Martial will also have great performances at Everton and Sevilla, and I hope they will be back in the future. ”

About the team's injuries

Lonnick: "Pogba will be part of the squad and he may even be in the starting lineup. Cavani is only likely to return at the weekend, he contacted me before and asked to stay at home for two more days, I know his situation and considering the jet lag, he can't get into the starting line-up. ”

"Lindelof has been sick all week, he hasn't trained, the same goes for Jesse Lingard, we need to give him a few days off to sober up and he'll come back to training on Monday and be part of this squad. Bailey came back yesterday, he had some problems with his ankle and wouldn't play. Luke Shaw will be in the game as Telles has played 90 minutes for Brazil. ”

Rumors about Pochettino coaching Manchester United

Lonnick: "I don't know, I'm all about training right now, we're going to have three different tournaments, I can't give a reasonable answer to that question, my focus is on the next few games and we want to be as successful as possible in the next few weeks and months. ”

Expectations for full-backs

Lonnick: "They need to be both offensive and defensive, they need to be defenders and at the same time provide as much support as possible when we have the ball, they should be offensive full-backs, offensive defenders, and I think we've improved in those areas over the last few weeks. Full-backs are an important position for tomorrow's game because Middlesbrough will be sending a system of five defenders who have very aggressive full-backs. ”

"It's very important to come up with a high level in terms of tactics, and with regard to our full-backs, like I said before, I'm happy with the progress of all the players. That's what I want to see, attacking full-backs play almost like wingers, and as a modern defender you need to win one-on-one confrontations, and when we need to break through, you need to be able to switch from one side to the other. ”
