“I told him [the ball boy] not to do that because he runs the risk of one of my players to punch him or to lose his temper, so don’t do that because you are risking [it]. But somebody told him to do that."
I think if he's given guarantees about starting then the Shaw deal is nailed on. He'll probably court some other clubs to give Southampton the best price he can though.
I thought he was a bit of a liability at first, but he's won me over with his recent performances. I'm content for him to play over Carrick for England at the moment.
He hasn't progressed the way people expected him to, but to say he hasn't improved since he was 17 is ridiculous. I would question whether Scholes even saw him play at that age.
Manchester United will finish the season with their lowest ever points total in the Premier League 'era'. Their previous lowest return was 75 points, the highest they can achieve this season is 72.
