What the managers said

Ruben Amorim on Joshua Zirkzee scoring his first Premier League goal since 2024 last time out: “It's so important for a striker to score a goal. He's not playing many minutes, but the way he responds in the second half is really important. It's more important than just the goal again. The small details, win one first ball for us to win the second ball, the connection, that is so important for our game and the goal is really important for the team and for him.”

Nuno Espirito Santo on the challenge of facing Mancheser United: "I think they are a good team, and they are playing well at the moment. You can see that from their last game at Crystal Palace, when they competed really well and achieved a good result.

"We are expecting a tough opponent full of talented players. Manchester United’s improvement is there for everybody to see.

"Ruben and I are both Portuguese, and we’ve met each other many times. Now on Thursday we’re going to be on different sides to each other, but I have a lot of respect for him, and we are companions in the job we do."
