Ander Herrera, not mincing words about the City case: "Mourinho is like The Simpsons, what he says always happens..."
The Zaragoza midfielder, formerly of Manchester United, speaks about the sanction against the Citizens outfit
Current Real Zaragoza player, Ander Herrera, has spoken on Mario Suárez's podcast about what happened with Manchester City and its guilt in breaching up to 115 financial rules while awaiting the official sanction for the Etihad Stadium team.
The midfielder, who played for Manchester United between 2014 and 2019, was blunt about it. " What was happening wasn't normal, and we were all aware of it . The rules have to be followed. They don't have a fan base... but they spend as if they did...", the Biscayan began by saying.
What was happening wasn't normal and we all realized it
Then, however, he put the focus on the players and coaches who have passed through the club over the years. " Nothing to say about players and coaches, they deserve all the credit for what has been achieved, but if I were a player I would be angry with those in charge because they have tarnished or cast doubt on what has been done in recent years," he adds.
As the minutes went by, he went further, and described what happened as "irreparable damage," recalling the clubs that may have been harmed in the past by this whole situation. "Tottenham, in I don't know how many years, finished fifth, didn't qualify for the Champions League, that has financial repercussions... As Rooney has said, this must set a precedent so that anyone who says 'I'm going to inflate this financially' doesn't do it ," he explains.
Mou said that that year he gave a lot of credit to second place... he's a genius, he doesn't make a move without a reason
Herrera, in fact, points out that in this way, and if City were stripped of their titles, United would have won the Premier League. "Having a Premier League in your trophy cabinet changes everything. Mou said that year that he gave a lot of value to second place... he's a genius, he doesn't make a move without a reason . He's like The Simpsons, they predict what happens, and he knew what was going on," he concluded.
