And the aim of the noise is to use the frustration of Sunday’s defeat to Tottenham as motivation to beat FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night.

“If we don’t win, we’ll be very disappointed as always,” I said at the press conference.

“Of course we are not happy with ourselves, especially when you see a game like on Sunday, after all we play for so long with 10 players and after the cancellation there is a red card.”

“They frustrate us because it takes a long time to play with 10 players and they don’t always take advantage of their advantage. “That’s crazy, we don’t get any motivation and we have to deal with the next game.”

Meanwhile, Porto coach Vitor Bruno wants to watch out for the threat from Manchester United.

Even if Erik ten Hag page dey enta Portugal like “pipo wey dem tie rope for dia necks”.

Manchester United will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the Europa League after Tottenham beat Wotowoto 3-0 at home in the Premier League game.

But Bruno says that as a player I shouldn’t despise any of his opponents.

“I haven’t often heard of tying the rope for necks,” Bruno said when he asked me about Manchester United’s form.

“But no, no, we’re just looking at our goal of getting to the next level.

“We always view them as a threat and not a good reason to take them on.

“We just have to be ourselves, we look at them with respect, with a lot of respect, with a lot of individuals.”

“I know you want to talk about the last game, but we have to see that this isn’t just the last game.”

Man Utd midfielder Mason Mount will not make the team trip after suffering a knock against Tottenham, but defender Harry Maguire cannot play at the weekend.

Midfielder Fabio Vieira, who will join Porto from Arsenal on a season-long loan in August, is also fit for the game.
