"I dont know, I dont know. 

"All focus was on the game, we signed one player two days ago to replace Adama, we signed Oscar, he will help us give us in moments what we need, lets see. 

"My focus was totally on this game. Man United, after two results for them, we expected a tough, tough game to play here with great individual qualities the team reacted well to many circumstances in the game.

"We are trying to do something, we are good if not. This group of players are showing great commitment. Oscar Bobb, Kenny Tete is coming back, Calvin is back even if we dont have news until tomorrow."
