00:00I was going to ask you about Masraoui, what attracts you to him, what does he bring to the team but also how is the team going to score more goals this year?
00:09I just explained to Melissa, in English football there's always pressure on the ball and this is a player, one of his key attributes is it's very difficult to put him under pressure because he finds often solutions.
00:30Scoring more goals, we know we create many chances and it's about composure and more clinical and I think in both boxes that will be an attention point for us in the coming weeks, months, there we have to improve.
00:47We need too many chances, also last week against City, against Liverpool, we created so many chances but we have to take them and we have players with scoring abilities, enough in the team.
01:02Also in the other box, to defend the box, it was too easy, opponents were quite effective against us, like City, like also Liverpool, they didn't create so many chances but they took their chances so we have to be more clinical there as well, more aggressive as well but composed.
01:21With new faces coming through the door, how long do you think it's going to take before we see Manchester United 100 per cent?
01:34As you say, we are complete, we are now working together for let's say 10 days and always that will take a while but there will be more teams that will have this problem.
01:50In the start of the season, don't drop points, work hard, make sure you are well organised in and out of possession, that gives you the best chance but we will not 100 per cent form but then we have to go from game to game to improve and to get higher performance levels in the team and individual players.
02:20We will see how quickly we can go through this process.
