#4 Sam Allardyce and Sandro

Sandro to stay

Former England manager Sam Allardyce has advised Manchester United to sell Paul Pogba as he doesn’t think that he is a ‘dressing room boy’ and would have been sold if Sir Alex Ferguson was his manager.

“Sell him,” said Allardyce.

“I don’t think he’s a dressing room boy.

“The only trouble with today is getting in a replacement, letting a player of that size go without any replacements of high quality.

“But, if the reports in the papers are true and whether it’s him or his agent or a bit of both, Sir Alex Ferguson would have just said, ‘see you later’.

“He would have done that. There’s nobody bigger than Man United.”

Meanwhile, according to a report from Calcio Mercato, no club came in with a good offer for Juventus’ Alex Sandro, who was a target for Manchester United, which is why the Old Lady didn’t sell him this summer.
