We weren’t able to bring you full coverage of the Premier League news conferences from Manchester United, Wolves, Aston Villa, Brentford and Everton as our focus today had to be on the major developments unfolding at Crystal Palace.
But here are the key points from each of the managers who spoke this afternoon:
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick:
'I'm eager to succeed and we've got a big job to do.'
Carrick said he has spoken with Jason Wilcox an "awful lot" and is "working closely" with both him and Omar Berrada
Wolves manager Rob Edwards:
Emmanuel Agbadou is back from Afcon and available for selection
Tawanda Chirewa has been ill so has not trained this week
'It's the right thing for him' - Edwards on Marshall Munetsi's loan move to Paris FC
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery:
It's a good deal for the club and Malen - Emery on Donyell Malen's move to Roma

'We are trying to do some deals' - Emery on January transfer plans
Brentford manager Keith Andrews:

You can always head to the club pages of Manchester United, Wolves, Aston Villa, Brentford and Everton to read the news conferences in full.
We were also unable to bring you our weekly FPL special Q&A this Friday - apologies for that.
