Chelsea ace told he’s “not good enough to be a regular starter” after Man United loss

“That he’s not good enough to be a regular starter for Chelsea and Manchester United may have done some good business,” he told Stadium Astro.

“I think the season that he left Manchester United, I was surprised that they let him go because you look at his stats that season at Manchester United, he was their most creative player.

“You look at the goals he scored, the assists that he got, but somebody saw something at Manchester United that we saw tonight.

“He was supposed to be a game changer off the bench, obviously not that early on in the game, but for me, he runs down dead ends too many times.

“He gets the ball and immediately his head’s down and he’s gone. He’s very, very one-dimensional in the way that he attacks. Yes, he’s an attacking threat, but he’s quite easy to defend against.”
