We prepare for Bournemouth (on Saturday) and Newcastle (next Wednesday) now." "I wanted a different approach and a different attitude and that is what they brought on the pitch. "I am concerned about our situation, but that is how it is. Every Premier League game is difficult, we need to bring it to every game. "It makes me happy that Rashford and Sancho got the goals.
