Andrews on injuries, facing Man Utd and achieving top academy status

Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Monday's Premier League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford (kick-off 20:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Rico Henry, Vitaly Janelt and Jordan Henderson have been out training "on the grass, making good progress". He said that "none of them will be available for Monday" and that "they will all be back at different times".
• When asked about the consecutive run of five Premier League draws, Andrews said: "I think we've been closer to victories than losses. If we're honest with the appraisal of our performances. The players will discuss it brilliantly amongst themselves about how we can fine-tune certain parts of our game."
• He added: "Performance levels overall have been very good. I was very happy with our game against Fulham. I thought it was a step forward from the Everton game. We're difficult to beat, clearly. I think that's grown as the season has gone on and now we are looking for those margins to give us three points."
• Looking ahead to the Manchester United game, he said they were "approaching it like every other game. We're aware of their strengths and what we need to be aware of, that's obviously a lot. They have some magnificent players we will have to keep quiet and tactically be prepared in a way that where we affect them in the way we need to, both with and without the ball".
• He continued: "We've put ourselves in a good position, but we're not content, we want to keep pushing."
• Brentford's academy achieved a Cat One status this week and Andrews said that it was "important news we were able to achieve that. To get Cat One status is a huge step for the club. I do want to be a manager that gives young players opportunities".
