Dimitri Payet does not owe West Ham fans an apology, says Slaven Bilic as Hammers prepare for Premier League clash with Manchester City

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic insists Dimitri Payet does not owe their fans an apology for his behaviour in engineering a move away.

Payet, once idolised in east London, infuriated the West Ham faithful when he refused to play or train while after demanding a transfer to Marseille.

In France on Monday, having completed his £25million switch, the French midfielder said he felt no need to justify himself — and Bilic won’t be waiting on an apology.
