Manchester United seem to be recovering. After a dismal start to the season, they have won 3 of their last 4 Premier League games and are now only 6 points off the top of the table, at least until leaders Tottenham face Fulham this Monday in London.

 

However, the Red Devils now need to prove that this improvement is real and get a victory in the Champions League to keep their chances of qualifying for the round of 16. So far they have lost both matches they have played, against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, and are at the bottom of Group A.

This Tuesday they will face Copenhagen at Old Trafford and, as usual, coach Erik Ten Hag held a press conference the day before in which he answered journalists' questions about his team's performance, expectations for the next match, analysis of the rival team and the specific situation of some players.

One of them is Sergio Reguilón. The left-back missed several games due to injury and the last one due to illness, but now he is much better and could return to the squad. About him, the coach said: "Sergio, he got ill for Saturday. He was fit, he trained all week last week. Today he will train and we will have to assess if he's ready." This is good news for The Red Devils, as they have had serious problems this season with injuries to many defenders and in particular left-backs, such as Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

 

What did he say?

A funny situation happened in relation to that response from Ten Hag. Many thought they heard 'Sancho' instead of 'Sergio' and were surprised to imagine that the forward was going to come back after almost two months punished for his quarrel with the coach. On social media some users wrote: "It did sound like Sancho"; "The shock on everyone's face in the presser when Ten Hag said Sergio but it sounded exactly like Sancho"; "Even Sancho got shocked".
