"It's difficult, we're not in a private space, but there are some reasons, but the people in that conversation that I didn't like," he said. "So, United was that big, 'We get all the players we want, we get him, we get him, we get him' - and I was sitting there like, 'Huh?' "It was not my project, it didn't feel like my project, it was the wrong time, but on top of that, it was not my project.

There's no long term, 'we have to deal with that for another two day then we can sort it'. In that time second was not good enough and now you're not even close to that but that's not a Man United story, it's a football story.

I don't know the United problems but Liverpool was the same, on the day we sold Phil Coutinho, that's not the day I thought, 'oh, good we have the money' I lost a player I wanted to work with for the next 10 years. "We invested it smartly, that's true, but it's not we found the position and sorted it, we had to sort something differently, we found two players in Alisson and [Virgil] Van Dijk, that was for the future to go from there, and that's the difference I think."
