**Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Saturday’s Premier League game against** **Manchester United****.**
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
* **Evan Ferguson, Tariq Lamptey and Pervis Estupinan have returned to training this week but it is too early to say whether they will be fit enough to be involved.**
* **He confirmed Yankuba Minteh will be available after he was substituted against** **Everton** **with concussion.**
* On the opening day win over the Toffees: “We are grateful for the start but we know it is hard work in every game. We have to try to keep the momentum.”
* **He said Saturday’s opponents Manchester United “will be a challenge” but “we shouldn’t hide” and instead “go into the game with our own self confidence”.**
* Hurzeler said new signing Georginio Rutter “will be a big player for Brighton” as “he has something special.” Hurzeler did not comment on whether he is available for Saturday’s match.
* On possible outgoings before the window closes: “The players know how we plan as we communicate transparently. I will never play with their hopes. I can’t comment on any rumours but the players know how we plan and then it is up to them.”
* He said they “have to improve in all phases of the game” despite a positive start to the season and added: “I said to the team we deserved the win but don’t be too happy about the result because we need to continue improving.”
* **In response to the importance of having experienced players in his team: “They have experienced more things on the pitch than me, so I can learn from listening to their opinions. I can use that then to prepare for the match against Manchester United because he [Danny Welbeck] has also played there and has some more knowledge about the club and their players. I would be silly if I didn’t use it.”**

Watched bits of their game vs Everton, obviously influenced by the red card, but they looked very good. It will be a real test to our press and defensive structure vs transitions hopefully we get the job done and go into the game vs scousers with good morale but unfortunately can see us losing easily let’s see what EtH cooks.
