๐จ๐ฃ๏ธ ๐ก๐๐ช: Belgium manager Rudi Garcia about Senegal:
โWe know these kinds of teams: they lose their tactical structure towards the end of the match.
We knew that at 2-0 they would do everything to protect their goal, which, in my opinion, is a big mistake. Remind me, if weโre ever 2-0 up, not to do that.
Because once you concede a goal like they did to make it 2-1, the whole game changes.

When players talk like this when theyโre ON LOAN it tells you all you need to know about why they failed at United.
Mctominay, has every right to feel aggrieved about being mis-profiled for his entire time here, always respectful to United.
Rashford, same thing; a lot of fair reason for him to dislike how his time ended at United. Getting off the plane before his 1st Clasico watching us beat Brighton on his phone.
Hojlund & Sancho making snide comments like this, when if Napoli donโt make the CL, he is coming back to United, like when Sancho did the โFreedomโ.
The truth is Rasmus, you scored 4 league goals in 32 appearance & it was one of the most disgraceful campaigns iโve seen from a Striker at any level of football.
You begged all summer to stay & it took being dropped from pre-season squads for you to take the hint. Enjoy the Italian community shield though, you better hope that โฌ45m hits our bank in summer.
