"Players have been put in positions and that's it, you just do what's expected of you. We've got to demand and expect a lot more of each other.

"Some players might squirm at getting bollocked but I don't think there's anything better than hearing the manager being honest in front of the lads or to your face. Telling you where you went wrong and what you've got to do to improve can only make you a better player.
"As a professional you want to be challenged.
"The boss at United has achieved great things and he hasn't done that by pussyfooting around people

"He worked with Fergie so he's going to take a leaf out of his book. I don't think there's anything better than hearing the manager being honest in front of the lads."
