Andy Cole exclusive: Keegan feud, the REAL reason he never took pens & Hojlund v Zirkzee
Q: What is the truth behind how you ended up at United?
The truth is, I got a phone call saying the deal to Manchester United is on; I didn't know anything about it.
Andy Cole exclusive: Keegan feud, the REAL reason he never took pens & Hojlund v Zirkzee
Q: What was your overriding emotion in that moment, Andy? Is it one of anger, disappointment, frustration that Newcastle have done this to you?
I was a bit in between; I was happy that I was going to Manchester United, but on the other side, I was a little bit pissed that I hadn't been given an explanation.

Q: Is that enough to keep him in the job? For me, that's not enough.
He needs to win something next year. If he goes on next season and wins the League Cup, that's not enough.
