ON TAKING OFF LUKE SHAW AT HALF-TIME
IT WAS a decision from one player for another player in the same position. I wanted to defend better. I want my defensive line to be more solid in relation to a few, not many, offensive movements they made from the sides. And I want more personality in the team because many, many times I felt that Matic was an island of personality, of desire, of control surrounded by not water but surrounded by lack of personality, lack of class, lack of desire. I have to say that, for example, McTominay lost more passes than in all the matches he played together, but he was a Manchester United player. And for me, a Manchester United player is a player that when he plays bad, he (still) gives to the team. That’s a question of personality, that’s a Manchester United player for me. The perfect Manchester United player is the one that has quality and personality and is consistent on that. But when you play bad, and as a football player you can play bad, when you play bad you must have that personality a kid of 20 years old had and some of the others didn’t have.
