Steve Bruce has a chat:
To ask Big Andy to play three games in six days, we erred on caution then, and the same goes for Jonjo. It was a case of maybe having to patch up, but we’re quietly confident that we can make a good account of ourselves. They [the Longstaffs] will come in and throw lots of effort and endeavour, two brothers coming to take on Man Utd at Old Trafford, how fantastic for them. We’ve done OK of late. It’s important that we don’t get away. We’ve shown a bit of consistency, been difficult to beat, and we’re going to have to show those traits today.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a chat:
It’s still early days for Paul and we still feel he needs to be drip-fed into this, and play more and more and gradually. Andreas and Mason will freshen us up. Scott McTominay has been fantastic all season, he’s been one of the big, big pluses all season. He’s a leader, he knows what it means, and for us it’s about a good reaction now. We need a reaction after last week, and I hope we win. I’ve said to the boys, you’ve got to go out and prove to everyone what we’re about. Life’s not in one straight line. It’s ups and downs, you win some and you lose some, and you’ve just got to deal with it.
