The Eddie Howe Manchester United Press Conference has taken place.
The Newcastle United Head Coach speaking to the media ahead of Wednesday night’s match at Old Trafford.
United would guarantee staying sixth after Wednesday night’s Premier League matches if getting a win AND it would mean for sure finishing the season above Man U.
Whist a win for Eddie Howe’s side AND defeat for Chelsea at Brighton, would mean Newcastle United guaranteed top six for the season, before the final round of matches on Sunday.
The Eddie Howe Brighton Press Conference highlights:
“We find ourselves in this position and it is where we deserve to be.
“We will be hoping to finish off these two games strongly.
“We must make sure our players go to Manchester United in really good spirits, confident and prepared.
” Our motivation is to qualify for Europe.
“It is a massive fixture [at Old Trafford].
“We are coming to the end of the season, we are desperate to do well in the game, we will do everything we can to try and win.
“We back the players to give a performance.
“We don’t underestimate Manchester United; we know how tough it will be. We are under no illusions of the magnitude of this game.
“It is a time to enjoy the situation we are in.”
Eddie Howe on the win at Old Trafford in November:
“It was a moment where we were beginning to experience some injuries, it was a real team effort, a real team performance.
“That game has no relevance to this one, it is a new challenge and I back the players.
“The players will embrace the pressure and be ready for the game.”
Eddie Howe on Elliot Anderson:
“Elliot has come through the Academy here.
“When I first came to the club, we were aware of him and his talents.
“He’s really worked on all aspects of the game and I think he’s been really reliable for us.
“Whatever position I have used in him, he has done very well.
“Tactically I have asked him to do a couple of things that the team has needed and he’s done it very well.
“I am really pleased with his level of maturity and his tactical understanding.”
Eddie Howe on Nick Pope:
“Nick has come back from a serious injury, a big problem to a big area of the body for a goalkeeper.
“He has still been getting his rhythm back from the training work he has been doing.
“I am really pleased with how he’s looked.
“He has continued to improve through training, every game I have a decision to make and that will be another one.”
Eddie Howe on Alexander Isak:
“Alex didn’t train yesterday (Monday); we will see if he trains today.
“He wasn’t feeling 100% I think you could see that [during the Brighton match].
“We knew on Friday that he was slightly under the weather.”
Eddie Howe on Callum Wilson:
“We haven’t seen Callum yet.
“We will see if he is available to train today, if not we will have him for Brentford.”
