Every word from Erik’s press conference: Part 2

The manager met with journalists on Friday afternoon ahead of our trip to St Mary’s to face the Saints in Saturday’s 12:30 BST kick-off in the Premier League.

And you can now see the second half of that media session, which was embargoed until 22:30 BST this evening, and includes questions on our pursuit of Casemiro, centre-back options and the potential of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.

With Casemiro, was he always a target of yours throughout the summer because he seems to have just come from left-field and was done really quick, unlike let’s say the [Frenkie] de Jong thing, so I was just wondering, were you always keen on him, for a long time?
