Q: Ruben, you’ve been very clear on the Marcus situation, about your standards and what you expect. But if he goes to Aston Villa and scores a lot of goals at a time when this United team can’t score goals, is there not a real danger that that looks quite humiliating for the football club and a problem for you?

“Humiliating?”

Q: Embarrassing for the club.

“It’s not embarrassing. When you loan a player, and I don’t know, I think it’s not official [yet], when you loan a player, you expect him to play and to improve, so it’s nothing humiliating there. I understand the question but I’m just focused on my players, that’s all. So when the window closes, I will be really focused on just our team and to improve our team.”
