da 888: Manchester City midfielder James Milner has hit back at criticism of his team by Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen.
The Dutch trainer stated that Roberto Mancini’s squad is made up of selfish players who do not play for each other and are only interested in personal objectives; Milner feel this criticism is unfair.
“Look at the season we have had – and winning the FA Cup last year,” he told Mirror Football.
“That first trophy as a group was great, and you can look at games this year when we have been losing and shown character and fight.
“Even in the FA Cup game against United, we were a man down and losing heavily at half time. But we came back and could easily have got a draw.
“I can’t see a team of individuals doing that.
“You need that spirit, determination and togetherness to get through the low points of the season, and we have done that.
“We want to finish the season strongly, to reward our fans for their support. If that’s good enough, great. But if not we have improved as a club and as a team. We are progressing.
“We are playing good football and had a great performance at the weekend.
“All season we have fought in all competitions, and we will do that until the end,” he concluded.
