Key quotes from Erik's press conference

The boss spoke to the media on Tuesday ahead of our 99th meeting with the Blades, which will kick off at 20:00 BST at the Theatre of Dreams.

Erik was asked for his opinion on whether Premier League clubs should question the integrity of officials, as well as calling the media reaction to our penalty shootout victory over Coventry in the semi-final of the Emirates FA Cup "embarrassing".

Read the key quotes from the first part of Ten Hag's press conference below...

REACTION TO SUNDAY WAS 'A DISGRACE'

"In top football, it is about results and we made it to the final and we deserved it. Not only by this game but also the other games and we lost, in 20 minutes, control. Then also we had bad luck, 3-2, 3-3. We were very lucky in the end, [that is] clear. Penalties was very good and we made it to the final and that is a huge achievement. Twice in two years is magnificent. For me as a manager, four cup finals in four years. So the comments [from the media] are a disgrace."

KEEN TO WORK WITH WILCOX

"[Jason Wilcox and I will work] very closely. We have to form a partnership, it is very important. We are a little bit behind in the process so we have to catch up and it will speed up the process."

INJURY WORRIES

"So we had a problem with [Alejandro] Garnacho, that's why we took him off during the game but I think he will be fine. Scott McTominay, we have to assess today. That is really doubtful. Marcus Rashford is also doubtful and then there was an issue with Bruno Fernandes, with the hand. But I think he can make it. So we have some doubts going into the game tomorrow."

QUESTIONING REFEREES IS 'NOT GOOD FOR THE GAME'

"You can't do that [question the integrity of referees]. You can agree or disagree. So the handball for [Aaron] Wan-Bissaka [against Coventry] is totally wrong. A mistake. But you can't question [it]. So I will not do [that]. It is not good for the game and there are issues, so the refereeing, we should respect them. This [questioning them] is [a show of] no respect."

ANTONY'S CELEBRATION AFTER THE SHOOTOUT WIN

"He was provoked and he should not react like that. Yes, he was provoked and this was a reaction to that. You haven't seen the provocation, you only see the reaction. But he should not do it. I have also seen Harry Maguire straight after, as others, because we should acknowledge the performance from Coventry."

WE NEED GOOD STRUCTURE AND A FULL SQUAD

"First of all, the most important thing we can do is put ourselves in a winning position by good structure and we have seen that over many occasions. Really good structure, as you can see with the first goal and also in other games. But then, of course, you have to bring the game over the line. There are more issues, some have to do with mentality, something also physicality. We don't have the tools in this moment, as well, because we don't even have [a fit squad]. We already, as a back four, have to make compromises and be really creative to construct that back four but then we can't replace players. So what you need is a full squad and then you can take your measures from the side to repair things. But also it's a matter of mentality, also some game reading. When the opponent takes more risks, there we have to improve. But as I say, also you need a full squad to repair that."
