    Manchester United

    Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes to Amazon: "Every win is important. It's been hard for us. Today we got a great win. We can be satisfied because we beat Arsenal. Next game is coming quick so we have to be ready."

    On whether Arsenal's opener should have been disallowed: "I don't know. Normally when the keeper goes down we should stop the game but mistakes happen. Playrs make mistakes. I don't know if it is from the referee. If that is a mistake from the referee, that can happen."

    On Cristiano Ronaldo: "Incredible. We all know he is improving game by game, year by year. He wants to keep being the best and that's what he did. He knows how to self-motivate."

    On Michael Carrick: "He can be a really top manager in the future if he gets the chance. He knows how to speak, he knows a lot about football."

    On Ralf Rangnick: "I think he'll come tomorrow. Now is a new beginning and a new start. Every game is a new beginning and a new start."

    The final whistle was celebrated by the crowd and the players. Within the club and within the team that was a big win for them. Ralf Rangnick knows there is a lot to work with here. It's a disappointing defeat for Arsenal. That will be tough for them to take.

  5. 'Skipp can become a top midfielder'published at 22:14 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2021

    FT: Tottenham 2-0 Brentford

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Antonio Conte: "It was a really bad defeat for everyone [last week] and I think you can learn a lot in a loss than a win. Today was a good win.

    "Today we showed a great desire to win and fight. For sure we can improve and we have a lot of space for improvement in possession.

    "We have to continue to improve in many aspects."

    On Oliver Skipp: "He has to improve with the ball. Without the ball he works very, very hard. In one month I have seen a lot of improvement from Skippy. He could become a top midfielder but he has to continue to work. He has this will and desire to become a top player for the future at Tottenham."
