A set of compelling questions were asked by Piers Morgan to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Among them was a burning question that every fan had in their minds. Piers asked the former PSG striker’s opinion on the recent fiasco between Erik Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho. Piers further stresses if the United manager is incapable of handling big talents.

The former Swedish striker begins to give a comprehensive take on the situation he starts by saying, “I don’t say it’s the coach’s fault because experience you cannot buy, you need time to get the experience. But it’s two different situations being at united means being at united. Then if it’s his fault, I don’t think because I think everyone has a responsibility in the whole situation.”

Ibra further adds to his explanation as he says, “We are a piece of puzzle from the big puzzle. Everybody has a responsibility to do and to fulfill their demands. You need a plan, you need a project to follow. Either you believe in it (the project) or you don’t. But with the situation with the coach, I think he’s living two different situations. I think he needs more time to get experience in how to handle a team.”
