Every word from Erik's press conference (Manchester United)

Erik ten Hag briefed the media ahead of Manchester United's game with Newcastle United on Sunday, as our busy October schedule continues.

He is a player who can adapt quickly to a high level and is a player who likes challenges, and he needs the challenges. Every training for him is a challenge, every game is a challenge, and that will make the best out of him and he likes that. Have the FA given you an idea of when there will be an outcome on Cristiano Ronaldo’s charge and whether he will be available for those games? The intuition, the space they have to take and when they have that feeling you will have players who when they have the talent, when they have the potential, they will score that number of goals. So I think there is really a lot of space for improvement with him, but I think he’s already at a really good level when you are the first player who scored in three in a row, three goals for Manchester United in all history. “He did a lot of things well, but finally, he knows that he has to be more clinical and he has to score a goal. So we don’t have a timeline.” But for the rest, we have to go game to game, and we’re going to be against tough opponents but we are really looking forward. But it can change to another game, because I think he is on a really good run and that proves the chances he creates. That’s the kind of impact he has to give to the team. On Sunday he deserves a goal that they cancelled, and today he didn’t score and maybe it was maybe more by himself. “I go always from game to game, and it gives another impetus on the team to believe I think.

What Black History Month means to Cole (Manchester United)

Why are opportunities still at a premium for black players? The United legend demands answers in a powerful interview.

I spoke to him before the cup final and I spoke to him after. So if you are not going to give anybody a chance then you are never going to know. It is just unfortunate he has had to go all the way to Australia to get a position. If I sit and have an interview like I just said, and I ticked all the boxes but they gave it to somebody else, how do they know they are better than the individual you haven't given the job to? You look at the ex-players that want to get into management that had stellar careers and have seen their white counterparts go into a job straight away, you turn around to yourself and say what is the point? It is only getting better if you are getting an opportunity and we are not getting the opportunity. Racism is not just in football, it is in society. They think we have cracked it and we think we have made vast improvements. I like to believe that I achieved that, playing the way I did, achieving what I achieved for all of the clubs I played for. But we do try our best, we do we try to conduct ourselves in the right manner. I think we saw that after the Euros final when Rashford, Sancho and Saka missed their penalties. In footballing terms, Cyrille Regis was my biggest inspiration and he was one of the reasons why I wanted to play football.

Why Erik ten Hag thinks Manchester United ace Antony will love the ... (Manchester Evening News)

Antony has scored three goals in three Premier League matches since joining Man United.

Every training for him is a challenge, every game is a challenge, and that will make the best out of him and he likes that. Many will feel that Antony has made the perfect start to life at Old Trafford, and his goal output so far would certainly support that argument. Ten Hag was desperate to sign Antony during the summer transfer window, especially given that the Dutchman had worked with the winger during their time together at Ajax. However, the Dutchman did appear to agree with some of Scholes' criticism, suggesting that the Brazilian star still needs to develop if he wants to enjoy a solid career in Manchester. While he has drawn blanks in his first four Europa League appearances for Erik ten Hag's side, the 22-year-old has scored in three successive Premier League matches and has looked sharp in recent weeks. After being so sought-after in the summer transfer window, there was immediate pressure on Antony to deliver at Old Trafford.
