“We are still assessing things and looking at options. We are not sitting on our hands and waiting for Louis. He is indicating clearly what he wants.
"All I am saying is there could be some other things that happen as a result of the time he spends with the players in the next few weeks. If you think about it, for an experienced professional like him from a football perspective, maybe he knows the first 15 players really well but the next 15 not so well. He is taking time to see," conluded the Manchester United boss’ boss.
