“I’m looking at Man United and I think they do the exact opposite of what Leeds does: they don’t take risks.
“When Ole does well, and has done well in a few games, they are offensive and attacking and dangerous from many parts of the team.
“But yesterday they were tired, careless and never had anything to represent Manchester United.”
