He said on the Stick to Football podcast, presented via Sky Bet: “Sometimes I don’t have any challenge when a club tells a player [to leave the club]; That’s the game we’re in. For you [Ian Wright], they sat down, “You sat down and we talked; For me, at least, it’s respectful. I was summoned to an assembly with Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill, and before I sat down they had a statement ready. That’s my challenge: they were ready. A statement and they were given the wrong years!

“You can’t put him out for six months because of that. The only thing that prevents you is injury. We know he’s pretty good, that’s why he’s not going well.
“You can’t put yourself on that stage and think you’re bigger than the coach. Whatever happens, I’m not Sancho, which is tricky for me as a United player. It’s just awful. “

He told Fruity Slots: “I don’t think there is an explanation for sacking Erik ten Hag before the end of the season. I’m also not sure there’s a smart list of candidates to succeed him, if I’m honest. “I also think he’s going through a tough time with injuries and some issues to deal with outside the box, so I think it’s a bit early to switch off right now.
“However, I think the most sensible six are at least where they want to end up, and if they end up away from home with the most sensible six at the end of the season, then the coach may be under genuine pressure. It’s a very difficult task. I’m going to finish. “

Manchester United will have to act fast if they want to sign Serhou Guirassy at a reduced price.
The striker has been heavily linked with a potential move to Old Trafford, given United’s difficulties in front of goal this season. The Red Devils have scored just 22 goals in the Premier League, only the last two Burnley and Sheffield United have controlled less. while the summer signing of Rasmus Hojlund has not had much of an impact.
United shelled out £64m to sign him from Atalanta and the 20-year-old has scored just six goals in 24 games, scoring just one in the league. Last season’s most level-headed goalscorer, Marcus Rashford, has struggled mightily to stay fit this season. Scoring just three goals in all competitions, while compatriot Anthony Martial has only scored two goals.
As a result, United are bolstering their attacking characteristics this month and Guirassy is on their radar. The 27-year-old has been in perfect form for Stuttgart this season, scoring 17 Bundesliga goals in just 14 games.
