“They’ve been in the team now, Rashford has been in the team for a few years and Garnacho has been in the team for a few years, but when I watch (Bukayo) Saka, (Leandro) Trossard and (Gabriel) Martinelli (for Arsenal), I watch them. Bernardo Silva and (Phil) for City.” Whether it’s Foden or me, I watch the players at Liverpool, I watch them all running back, harassing and doubling up with real intent.

“I watched (Malo) Gusto run forward on the far side in the first half and couldn’t believe how much space he found. The first moral is that you have to work hard.”
