Everybody has to play and everybody has to train.

"We press a lot, some players were tired, so I prefer for fresh legs and for different characteristics to be harder for the opponents to understand how we are going to play. “We have returns like Kobbie Mainoo, one of the best young guys in this league. We have international players like I say all the time, so they are ready to win the game.”Fans gave their thoughts on social media with many expecting the Dane to be given the nod given his impressive performance last time out."It's been a handful of games in one of the worst performing United sides in modern history.
