And for you leading out United at Old Trafford in these last four or five months, how much have you enjoyed managing United here?

“In most of the games, I enjoyed it but obviously we had some games where we were just 1-0 up and gave away too many points. In those moments, it’s not so enjoyable but overall the support by the fans is massive, it’s great. It’s one of the biggest things this club has. The stadium… I spoke to Thomas Tuchel before the game and he said to me ‘what a stadium, what an atmosphere’, and this is really great for everybody. I enjoyed that very much.”

We play against a Brentford team which has taken the Premier League by storm really. They came up against all the odds and have had a terrific campaign…

“You could even see that in their first game, I remember watching it on TV. They won 2-0 against Arsenal, they won two or three weeks ago 4-1 at Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge. We had our problems in the first game, in the first half. We could have been 2-0 down and we could only manage to change and turn the game in the second half. This will again not be an easy game for us.”

It will be the last time United fans see us for three months or so, how important do you think it would be to finish on a high?

“As I said, very important both for the fans but also as a boost for the new season. For everyone it would be good to get three points in this game.”
