“Rashford did amazingly well, I congratulate him on that,” said Spurs coach in a recent interview with Metro UK.
“It is a bit strange for me that one football player can make it happen and, if it happens, it is because the government realises it is the right thing to do. The government should not wait for one player to come out publicly and put some pressure on them for that to happen,” the former United coach noted.
