The Dutchman gave some straight answers on Jadon Sancho,Marcus Rashford,Casemiro and a whole lot more. Here is the interview in full.
Harry Amass is one of the youngsters to impress in Man United's pre-season
A: We have to make progress,but we all see here a potential where we have seen in previous years,for instance two years ago,(Alejandro) Garnacho last season.
We had it during last season with Kobbie (Mainoo),but he is not that far now at this moment. But if we train him well,if we coach him well,then in three months it's possible that he can be on that point.
But in this moment he needs to catch up and he has to develop some skills already to play for Manchester United,competing for the highest positions in the league.
But with big talent it can go up very quickly and that is very interesting to see if he is capable of doing this.
