“I spoke to manr [Ten Hag] and apologised to him if re was something I could have done better for him. I was disappointed he has gone and I tried to help him.”

"I wasn’t scoring goals, we are t scoring goals and I feel responsible because I rmally score a lot of goals but I always gave 100% to help. main thing is that he is aware of that."

"We kw that Erik [ten Hag] has gone, it is t good for anyone at club when manr goes. It means team is t best, results are t best and he is one who pays for it."

"Whenever you see a manr go you have to take some of blame on yourself and look in mirror first because it is because team is t doing so well. We all kw that when manr leaves everyone is involved but only one pays because It is easier to get rid of a manr than 15 players."
