“These are the type of players Real Madrid can never have in there team. The coach is using these players to kill their team week in week out. Erik ten Hag must make sure they don’t start against Chelsea Tomorrow or they loss”-Alan Shearer says two Man Utd stars ‘would make him run mad if he was playing with them.

Widely acclaimed for his prowess as a top-tier striker during his playing days, Alan Shearer’s remarkable feat of 260 goals in the Premier League solidifies his status as a legendary scorer.
Throughout his distinguished career, spanning spells at revered clubs like Southampton, Blackburn Rovers, and his beloved hometown team, Newcastle United, Shearer left an indelible mark on the footballing landscape.
Transitioning seamlessly into punditry post-retirement, the 53-year-old has become a familiar face on BBC, lending his insightful commentary to viewers. In a recent segment on The Rest Is Football podcast, Shearer didn’t shy away from singling out two Manchester United players who he believes would have frustrated him immensely had they shared the pitch together.
Expressing his exasperation with wingers who have a penchant for cutting inside onto their favored foot rather than delivering crosses, Shearer specifically called out Antony and Garnacho as prime examples of this frustrating tendency.
In his candid assessment, Shearer remarked, “That would do my nut in playing for Man Utd with those two, Antony and Garnacho, who keep doing that all the time.”
Shearer’s critique of Antony isn’t new; he had previously aired his grievances on Match of the Day, highlighting the Brazilian winger’s predictable pattern of cutting inside onto his left foot, thereby allowing defenders to anticipate and nullify his movements effectively.
While Shearer’s frustration revolves around wingers’ reluctance to whip in crosses, former Manchester City defender Micah Richards chimed in with his own annoyance: midfielders opting for backward passes instead of seizing opportunities to push the play forward.
Meanwhile, podcast host Gary Lineker injected a touch of humor, sharing his disdain for players who theatrically collapse to the ground at the slightest touch, likening their reactions to being hit by a sniper.
