Key quotes from Man Utd Women press conference before UWCL clash with Wolfsburg

“We were good against Manchester City in moments, we just needed to be a little bit better in both boxes,” the boss said, speaking inside the Volkswagen Arena’s impressive press-conference room.

“Hopefully we can rectify that tomorrow against a fantastic team in Wolfsburg. We’re really looking forward to it, we’ve played really well up to this part of the season, so we’re really looking to giving a good shift tomorrow and looking forward to gracing this beautiful stadium with a good performance.”

When asked about facing Wolfsburg’s star players, such as Alexandra Popp, a legend of German football and this season’s joint-top scorer in the Frauen-Bundesliga, Marc added: “I believe in the team, I believe in the players. When you’re in this level of competition, you face many iconic forwards.

“Popp is one of the legends of the game in my opinion. To see her qualities, up front and personal, will be a challenge for us.

“But I’ve also got a legend of the game next to me [being sat next to Dominique Janssen]. It’s what we’re here for. We’re here for business, we want to make it as tough as possible, but these romantic stories are part of what make this game beautiful.

“We have to approach it with no respect when we’re on the field. You give this team too much respect and they can hurt you.”
