Williams on chance of dropping to the U23 squad
"I think it's not a case of that at any time I can drop down to the 23s and anything I wanna keep working hard and try and play as many games as I can.
"I think it's just down to myself to keep on performing, keep myself fit and every game like I am, always ready for the next game but we've got a game tomorrow and a one-off we need to win."

Solskjaer on Solbakken
"Well I've known Ståle since... I played against him in 95, I've known him for years, he's had a very good career as a player, always the one we looked to stop playing, creative midfielder, fantastic coaching career.
"Started with hometown team, been Copenhagen (two spells), Cologne, Wolves, in a similar way he's had his ups and downs but really come through again and leaving a legacy at Copenhagen who are in the quarter-final for the first time.
"It's step by step. I went to Copenhagen to do my Pro License and they lost to Chelsea and hopefully this time they'll lose to us."

Solskjaer on Europa League finals with no fans
"I think it is strange and it is not football as it should be, I think it's changed a little bit, that passion and edge to the game is missing, fans have gotta be there, Our players have done really well, handled situation really well and I know our fans can't wait to get back and support us and we must try and make the most of the Europa League and get as far as we can so they can look forward to seeing the players."

"I've answered numerous questions on Paul and we're delighted he's back playing, he's fit, he's enjoying his football, he's got to make up for lost time and he's doing that.
He's training extra, always a great personality around the place and hopefully we can see him lift this trophy as he has done before.
He's pro, a fantastic boy and delighted we've got him in the team."

Solskjaer on Romero-De Gea decision
"That's an obvious question. I think I must be the most prilveged manager in the world with the goalkeeping department. Sergio, David and Dean. Three top 'keepers.
This season has shown how important Sergio has been for us. David has been performing there. We'll see what we'll do going forward.
Difficult? Yes. But that's a good problem to have."

Shaw still injured?
We missed him badly toward the end of the season.

Williams on his favourite position
"It's from being a kid here, it's part of the club DNA to have that passion. It's got to be controlled and not over the top. It's what the United coaches gave me.
Wherever the manager wants to play, I'll put a shift in. It doesn't matter where I play."

Solskjaer on more to come from Martial
"Definitely. Antho has made huge strides this season in many aspects of his game. I like him scoring the simple goals. I know he can do the 'worldies'.
He's in gym and he's working on his strength. He's physically at his best level of his career. There is more to come definitely."

"I'm not surprised. I know how Ståle has built the club and what they're about. We played them against Molde and I know Ståle such a long time. Copenhagen has a great history in doing well in Europe.
They have individuals there. The three young forwards are interesting. The biggest strength is the teamwork and organisation."

Solskjaer vs Solbakken
"First of all, it's not me and Ståle. We're not playing against each other. He's had a very good career. I've been a manager for almost 10 years so I'm not that new.
It depends what you think is new. He is a bit older than me which you can probably see. I'm turning grey but hopefully I'll keep the hair."

Solskjaer on finishing third relieving pressure
"I don't think so. We went into this season knowing EL is a great chance for us. To get a trophy and groom a few of the youngsters. It was perfect for us.
If we were in the Champions League, we might not have played Mason, Brandon and the young kids so much. Europa League has been about keeping the squad together and having a group together that works together. Brandon is going to play in a quarter-final - that's a great achievement. And it's been perfect for us."

Solskjaer on winning streak
"We have developed through the season. We had a squad that worked together. A few changes in January window made us stronger. The teamwork we done. It was more natural and we found good form. We got players back from injury and one loss in 23 games is one too many."

LVG on winning streak“The boys have done good during the season. We have a squad that listen to me and Jimmy. We will see if we can do something in the transfer window. The club will work hard on that. We will do our best to try and match up to the clubs we play. Copenhagen are a good team, so we will try and make it a tough game for them”
Mourinho on winning streakyou! Fat man! What type of question is this? The squad is good. Lots of young players that I have given chances too. The boys have been horny. Horny football. They have big balls. Transfers? You will need to ask Mr WoodwArd. He knows what I want. Copenhagen? They are a fantastic club, but I have beaten them 4 times. After this match the fans will be singing “Louis Van Gaals Red Army!!”
fantastic. My boys have been fantastic. But i say to them, nobody is perfect. Apart from Drogba. Drogba is perfect. Transfers? I think we maybe need 4 more. Centre back. Copenhagen. Listen. Good club. But I have won this competition, I qualified for champions league 14 times. We will win but at the end they will say “special guy, fantastic coach but we feel nothing for him”. Fantastic

I think you're being too kind on the Mourinho one, he'd have found a way to congratulate himself 4/5 more times while also downplaying his players.Moyes on winning streak

Thought the same. First he said Henderson is coming back. He could still go out on loan but wonder if Romero will be sold and Henderson and DDG could be rotated. I think a loan is best as playing every week is the only way he’ll improve and become the #1.Very interesting quotes about the Goalkeeping decision there

Samuel Luckhurst asked Brandon when did he feel he'd nailed his position in the first team and Brandon answered that he could drop back into the U23s at any time, i.e. he's not taking his position for granted. Simon Stone came back and asked him did he really think he could drop back now to the U23s and Brandon just gave him the official line, so long as he keeps himself fit and improving, blah, blah.What was with the random question asking Brandon about dropping down to the U23s?
I think just Brandon following the media training (especially from when he was U23 captain) and being inscrutable. I suspect Brandon was included partly because we know he's a definite starter with Luke Shaw being out, so giving nothing away, but maybe as an example of "teenage academy player who's been with the club from the age of 8 and is from Manchester plays in the quarter-final of a European trophy competition in his first season", which Ole did draw attention to.
Realistically, no chance that he'll drop back down to the U23s, even when Shaw is back, and hope he does well tonight.
