Roma sign Malen, transfer news and Manchester derby looms for Carrick: football - live

First of all, he needs to play another big game for Egypt on Saturday and then he comes back to us and I’m happy that he comes back. Similar to Andy, Mo has been so important for this club, for me, so I am happy that he is back. Even if I had 15 attackers, I still would have been happy if he would have come back but that is not our situation. Happy to have him back after an important game that he still has to play.

I have to give him a big compliment about the things he said. Very mature and I could understand everything he was saying. Every player should have the same feeling about his current position and that’s that he’s not starting every game. But I’m really happy that he also said he finds joy in the position he’s in and that he also understands how important he’s been to this club for all these years.

He did play quite a lot of games, not as much as he probably hoped. But the way he’s been acting and his comments in the media is a big compliment and says a lot about him.
