I always give this example... it's like an aquarium. </p><p>"If you have the fish inside and he's sick and you take him out and you fix the problem and you put him again in an aquarium you will be sick again. </p><p>"The problem of Manchester United is the same. The problem is not always the coach. It's much more than that."</p>
