Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Veretout didn't even know his manager Steve Bruce was in the Old Trafford crowd to check on him playing for Saint-Etienne against Manchester United in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Veretout, 23, was sent out on loan by Villa before Bruce's arrival and appears to be in no rush to rejoin the club having won just five of 28 games for them last season.
'Things have gone well for me at Saint-Etienne. It’s been a really good season for me and for the club and I hope that continues. I don’t know yet what’s going to happen in the summer and what I want to do,' he said.
