"It is dead easy to be critical, You have to be realistic about some things - the number of injuries he has had: Phil Jones has played only seven games this season, Ashley Young, (Antonio) Valencia, (Luke) Shaw, these are big losses. It doesn't matter which team you are, if you have players missing of that calibre it has to have an impact on the team. The other aspect which is always easy to forget there are also five new players in their first season at United, and two are young players in (Anthony) Martial and Memphis (Depay) and their promise is good. You have to have some patience being a Manchester United fan and they have shown that over the years; in Matt Busby's time, in my time. For 150 years of history it is worth having a couple of years on the quiet side of success because they will always come back and come back strong." Nope. Can't see anywhere in those comments where he was "firmly in favour of sticking with LVG". Did you struggle to read past the big bold worlds at the top of the article?
It is dead easy to be critical,thats what we do us football nuts.Two things for you to laugh at SAF is at an age where he can easily put his foot in it especially if caught a bit off guard. Does SAF's legacy look even better the longer united go without winning anything?
Good dodge. Muhammed Ali would be proud. You have brought a whole new meaning to the phrase "rope a dope" Now show me again where he said he was "firmly in favour of sticking with LVG"?
So I was right then - you didn't read beyond the headline. Still, in an era of falling newspaper sales it's good to see there are people keeping the red tops in business
