Mutual Respect Is Needed Between Bellingham And Tuchel – Wes Brown

Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has compared Jude Bellingham’s relationship with Thomas Tuchel to the one that Roy Keane and Sir Alex Ferguson once experienced at Old Trafford. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even though Roy Keane and Sir Alex Ferguson were not best of friends, they both realized that they had a big part to play in the club’s success on and off the pitch.

Brown added that as long as there is mutual respect and understanding between the coach and Bellingham, every other thing is extra.

His words, “First of all, when it comes to a player and a manager, there needs to be respect. You look over the course of my Man United career, with Keano and the gaffer – they weren’t the best of mates, but there is an understanding that they are both here to win and both can play a big part in that.

You still need respect between the manager and the player. We all know how good Jude is and he’s a big part of the squad and a big player in the team – who the manager knows that he needs, by the way. He does need him in the team. At the same time, it comes down to making sure that the respect levels are right.

Maybe that’s what it is. I’m sure it will be fine. At the same time, they have to come to an understanding. At any normal football club, if two people are not getting on then you find a way to work it out and fix it.”

WOW.
