Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, he said: "I wouldn't play Isak, he hasn't looked ready since coming from Newcastle. He might've done stuff by himself but he's paying the price of it.

On performances, he doesn't deserve to be playing ahead of Ekitike."

"It's almost like he's going through pre-season during a real season.

So I would give him a little bit of time on that front, and I think he'll come good because he's such a classy player." Fellow pundit Micah Richards offered a sterner assessment of the striker, drawing parallels between his current performances and those during his stint at Newcastle. He's not fit," he commented.
