The presser was short and sweet.

Everton have more injury headaches as Duncan Ferguson prepares for his second match in charge with Sunday's trip to Old Trafford.
The Blues are already without long-term absentees André Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin, while Fabian Delph continues to battle a hamstring injury and Ferguson says he will have to do without both Morgan Schneiderlin and Theo Walcott for the remainder of the year.
Walcott had to be substituted towards the end of last Saturday's win over Chelsea along with Lucas Digne while Schneiderlin either aggravated an existing problem in that match or picked up a knock in training.
Digne is back in training and Yerry Mina, who missed the last two game with a minor hamstring problem, is back doing light sessions but might not be risked this weekend.
Ferguson inspired Everton to a stunning 3-1 triumph in his first game as caretaker boss and he is hoping for a positive result against Manchester United.
He maintains that is not looking too far ahead and will continue to do what is asked for him while the club continues its search for a permanent replacement for Marco Silva.
“In the future, I'll look to progress to be a manager. I know I can do it in one game but it was only one game.
“I don't know what's happening behind the scenes but I've been told to take this game and I'll continue to do that (if asked).
"I don't want to get drawn into names but all [the] guys [mentioned] are fantastic managers so hopefully the club will find the right one. We want the best managers in the world managing this football club.”

As long as we watch their counter attack we have a good chance.

Everton have confirmed that Yerry Mina could miss Sunday afternoon’s Premier League meeting with Manchester United. The 25-year-old had a hamstring injury which kept him out of action during Everton’s 3-1 win over Chelsea (December 7), but he may not have recovered in time to feature this weekend. Seamus Coleman is another defender in a similar position too. Mina has been in light training and will need to be assessed before a final decision can be made on his availability. Duncan Ferguson started Michael Keane and Mason Holgate in place of the injured the Colombian international against Chelsea and may have to once again call upon the pair on Sunday as things stand.
Everton have struggled to keep the goals out this season. The Toffees have conceded 10 times in their last four Premier League games and haven’t kept a clean sheet for two months. Keane and Holgate have struggled for consistency at centre-back, leading to criticism from supporters on social media, but Mina hasn’t exactly fared better when called upon.
Everton won’t have a strong midfield against United either due to their injury crisis – Jean-Philippe Gbamin (thigh), Andre Gomes (ankle), Fabian Delph (doubtful) – so the Blues’ backline isn’t going to get much protection on Sunday.
