Jayde Riviere details what’s next for Man United after flat draw vs. Tottenham

Riviere’s remarks

Riviere said, “Yeah, I would say 0-0 is a fair result. It’s not the result we wanted, obviously. We knew that these next three matches were going to be crucial for us. But I think today, sometimes it just comes down to attitude and I think we have everything to play for.”

“We’re a team that always wants to win, so we’re going to finish the season hard and hope for the best. Obviously it’s not really in our hands now, which is unfortunate.”

“But Spurs are a good team, we’re a good team and we just need to get back into our rhythm.”

On the changes which had somewhat of an impact, Riviere remarked, “I mean, yeah. It’s good that we have a bench now, you know.”

“We’ve been going thin for a little bit now. But, yeah. The people who come in are gamechangers for a reason. They bring energy. Melvine [Malard] came in and she does what Melvine does and that’s that little bit of swagger, if you will, that you kind of need in big games like this.”

“You’ve got to take risks and right now we’re in a moment where we got to take risks.”

The defender emphasised that the return of several injured players will only benefit United as they prepare for their final two games of the season.

“For sure. They were very very missed. They’re great characters off the pitch, but obviously what they do on the pitch helps the team a lot. The likes of [Ella] Tooney, having Anna [Sandberg] back in, Ellen [Wangerheim] back in as well. Then we’ll have Dom [Janssen] and the rest of the group back too in the next weeks, so it’s going to be good for us to have some depth.”

Riviere explained that United can now do no more than give their utmost against Chelsea and Brighton while hoping that results elsewhere proceed in their favour.
