5 big quotes from this week’s Tribal exclusives

Ally McCoist on how Danny Welbeck is flourishing under Fabian Hurzeler at Brighton this season:

“He's such a sweet boy! He has always suffered from injuries, but because he is injury-free, he seems to have been given a new lease of life. He has the freedom to express himself and it seems like he is really enjoying himself. He's in a good place.”

Alan Smith spoke about how he thinks Graham Potter would be the ideal replacement for Steve Cooper at Leicester City:

“He's been out of action for a while and is clearly a good coach. You can't overlook what he did at Brighton and before. Or he thinks it's the right move at the right time if it's offered to him , is something else. I believe he turned it down or at least thought too long when a points deduction was hanging over the club. He would be a progressive appointment.”

Lee Sharpe opened up about Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford who he believes can still revive his career at the club:

“I think the only man who can do that is Marcus Rashford himself. For a year and a half he performed at a level that no one could match, but since then he has struggled to get back to that level. Someone recently pointed out to me that he is now the same age as Nemanja Matic was when he was signed by Manchester United and people said he was over the top.

David Peace on how Manchester United's assistant manager Jimmy Murphy kept the club alive after the Munich disaster.

“His personality and strength of character were what kept them going. And there was really no one else who could have done that job. 'Munich' is basically his story about how he kept Manchester United going, while at the same time dealing with enormous feelings of guilt. He lost good friends and he had known many of the players since they were young boys. It's only been about a year since they put a statue of him up at Old Trafford. Football can be very cruel.”

Gonzalo De Los Santos praised manager Rafael Benítez, saying he was the best coach he played under because he was addicted to football:

Rafael Benítez was the best coach I ever had. He was completely devoted to football and thought about it 24/7. He provided us with all the tools we needed to succeed on the field and fully understand our roles.
