«At Chelsea, the players acted professionally, were punctual and were never late for training, but at Manchester United this happened almost every day. Among the players who were most late were Pogba and Sancho,” he said, speaking to the YouTube channel YuPlanet.

«The rest, those who always arrived on time, were irritated, so we decided to form a kind of internal disciplinary committee. I was the president. I put a sheet of paper on the wall, where I recorded who arrived late. During one season we made around 87 thousand euros in fines. We had planned to spend the money on a party, but we didn’t do it due to the Covid-19 outbreak », he concluded.
