He still loves United and I always find him such a contagious character. Is that what you think too?
Oh yeah, he’s a Red from head to toe. I was disappointed when we let him go because he is a player and a very valuable person to have in and around the group. He’s just one of those players with Man United DNA so he knows how we feel about him and how I feel about him. We will have a good conversation after the game. It’s a fantastic family and of course I signed Fabio for Cardiff so I’ve enjoyed their company many times. “

Could you always tell them apart or not?

“Actually, to be fair, I did, yes. Obviously his style of play was similar and the resemblance is there. We always talk about why we don’t play one of them in the first half and one of them in the second half, and no one will notice! But both have their unique characteristics. “

It wasn’t the result you wanted in Istanbul, but it’s still a very strong position in a really difficult group, right?

“If you say six points after three games, in the middle, you are more than half way to get the point count you normally need. It’s a good start, but we know this is an important game. We have to perform better than last time. It’s not good enough for us, as one point would have made a difference in that game as well. We go into this and we have to attack at home, put pressure on them and create chances. Put crosses or put men in the box, we have to take care of them. “
