Ain't no apology like Lanzini

It's good that Manuel Lanzini has apologised for breaking Tier 4 rules at Christmas after being pictured alongside Spurs' Erik Lamela, Giovani Lo Celso and Sergio Reguilon. He tweeted:" I want to apologise for a bad mistake and I take full responsibility for my actions. I know people have made difficult sacrifices to stay safe and I should be setting a better example." 

Covid-19 has been hard on young people and it's difficult to tell footballers on £100k a week what to do, but players need to learn that they are part of wider society and have responsibilities. Hopefully Moyes has used the hairdryer on him as it could also have endangered the rest of the squad. And as for fraternising with Tottenham players — there's certainly no excuse for that!
