    i really dislike it when players do this. Whn you lie about being injured so you can play, it always leads to your performance being worse --> the entire team is affected coz we’re playing with 10,5 men instead of 11

    It’s a selfish thing to do.

      Athletes at the top level tend to be extremely competitive and have strong egos, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing at that level. I wouldn’t call it selfish, in fact I’d say it adds to his character. Because despite not being 100% he has the self belief to perform and willingness to put the effort in. Rather than sit back and take a very comfortable paycheck.

      I’d much rather have work-horses like Ben White who give it their all than players from other clubs without that work ethic like half the Man Utd squad.

    Felt like White was off in the latest few games where he was giving away balls easier and lack the intensity

    No surprise to this, hope he gets well soon
