Defeats to Manchester City and Watford in the Premier League and Feyenoord in the Europa League had soured what was a promising start to the season for the Portuguese.

Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Sky Bet League One Northampton Town in the third round of the EFL Cup ended that sequence.
Collectively, City have gotten off to a flying start in all competitions and show no signs of slowing down at this rate; many are pegging them to be crowned Premier League champions. “I think a cup game against City at Old Trafford is the ideal draw for us”.
“We had a bad week”.
Northampton tried to find their way back into the game, but United held on for a comfortable win.
“Everyone can jump the gun and say “drop Rooney” because he’s a stand out high profile player who isn’t performing, but if you drop him who do you play instead?” “But I can not lie, I love to score in front of them!”
“I know my role, I know what I can give to the team but, as a midfielder, when you score of course you are helping the team more”. [It was as] hard as I was expecting, but we were totally in control for the first 35 minutes and then we were again in control for the last 45.
“It’s not easy for us to play games like this, but we dominated the second half”.
“I think I should stop to speak about referees’ decisions”.
“We now face Manchester City in the next round, so that is good for everyone”. “I can understand completely if the fans are disappointed with the last week”.
Ander Herrera insists Manchester United will relish the chance to face Manchester City in the last 16 at Old Trafford.

“This game was built up and it has been brilliant for everyone involved in the football club, but now we’re back to what is our bread and butter”, Revell said. “Finally I scored and I am happy, but overall after a awful week we got the victory and now we can face Leicester in a better way”. I feel I can play in all positions but I think the manager has made it clear either I’ll play up front or in the no.10 and that’s where he sees me playing.
