Manchester United started life under new manager Ruben Amorim with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town on Sunday.
The Portuguese revealed after the game that he could not focus on training during his first week in charge of the Red Devils.
The 39-year-old was inundated with interviews all week from the media, and he wants the Old Trafford club to limit requests going forward to allow him to concentrate on his job.
Man United were lucky to leave Portman Road with a point, and they have Andre Onana to thank following his key saves, which prevented the hosts from taking the lead.
Amorim had just a few training sessions with the squad, spending most of the time in interviews, and it would take a while for him to fully get his ideas across to the players.
Changing playing patterns and managers during the season is always tricky, and the Man United boss will have to come up with new ideas to get the necessary results, given there is no break between now and March.
The players can expect limited off-days for the time being as Amorim will be keen to get them firing on all cylinders, which would only happen once he gets to implement his own pattern.
Man United return to action on Thursday when they host Bodoe/Glimt in the Europa League before facing Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.
A trip to Arsenal follows three days later, and Amorim has a huge job on his hands.
