Sol is a strong person and a strong-minded person - and he will do what he wants and what he thinks best.
Sol is a great player, and you don't become a bad player just because of two or three bad games.
My ambition is to just see kids coming here and having fun. I always said that the academy and the kids coming through is not about elitism. It is about boys and girls age eight to 15 coming down, having fun and enjoying themselves.
Maybe United think that's the best way, out before you know it. I'm not sure I agree,
Obviously, it's important he doesn't get a yellow card, ... But he can't go into the game -- and I'm sure the manager won't ask him to go into the game -- worrying about that yellow card because it could affect his performance.
Obviously Jonathan was one of the best young defenders in England when he was there and now he is very important for Real Madrid,
Obviously I don't know what is going to happen. But I am happy there and would like to stay there.
Wayne can play any position but the way he plays for Manchester United, just off the main striker, is unstoppable. He runs at players and that is what causes teams most problems.
Wayne can be whoever he wants to be. He's a great young lad and he's at the right club to be looked after and to be brought through. If he carries on doing what he's doing, creating chances for players and for himself, he's going to deserve those comparisons.
It doesn't mean just because Michael is coming back, and I'm maybe in a different position, that things are going to change in the next game.
I think he's one of Britain's best young sportsmen.
Playing against some of the best defenders in the world, he ran away from a couple and held off a couple and that's not easy to do,
I thought the first yellow was harsh and the second even harsher,
That's the level we have to perform to, especially against the team we are playing. We need a standard that's very, very high.
