How many direct citations (e.g. Munday (2004) states that 'register is bla bla')

can I write in a PG Essay? I am writing an essay for Reserach Methods. Postgraduate core unit at the University of Manchester.
I have to write 2000 words about register and I was wondering how many direct citations I can use:

I have used many like Hatim and Mason (2000) state that 'bla bla bla' while according to Halliday (1986) 'bla bla'.

A friend of mine said I should re-elaborate them, but as far as I knew we can still use citations.
Can you just tell me how many are a good number for a 2000 words essay?

Thanks!
