As Forerst prepared for their second Premier League match in Manchester in the space of four days, their manager acknowledged they were tough assignments to face back-to-back but insisted his side would be as well prepared as possible for this evening’s game, despite being far from sure who will line-up for their hosts.

It's always a difficult place to go, but let's focus on going into the game with a positive attitude.”

Ruben Amorim: “We are not a big team”

Looking ahead to today's match, Ruben Amorim told reporters attending the pre-match press conference that he believes his new club is now in the cosmic plan.

“We're a huge club, but we're not a huge team,” he said. “We know that, so we have no problem saying that. We're not one of the best teams in the league. We have to say it clearly and think about it.

“but [in] If you look back at our past, our club is probably the best club in the league. Here comes the problem. We need to focus on the small details and then we can improve as a team. ”

“I'm ready,” he said. “Let's recover and play the game. [Manchester Unbited’s] Ruben at this moment has changed so much that it is difficult to predict the outcome.
