Jamie Redknapp paves the way for punditry and reveals the first impressions of David de Gea

Jamie Redknapp lifted the curtain to reveal how he was addressing the ever-changing nature of the pandit's role – particularly when the players he publicly criticized proved that they were wrong.

Standing 90 minutes ahead of Manchester United's Sunday afternoon game against his former Liverpool club, Redknapp admitted he had made a "multitude" of fake calls during his post-game career.

Asked that players, leaders and teams have proven otherwise, he replied: "It's life, is not it?" If you make no statement while doing this work it will not be worth doing, I'm absolutely wrong believe me, I've watched Paul Pogba, and players like him can make you look stupid, I've always imagined playing against Pogba and I thought I would find it so difficult because he's such a talented player.

"I could see that there was such a good player here, it was only a matter of time before this kind of Premier League people will try, but it does not. is not a problem, that 's the job, that' s what you have to do.

"Heaps of times I've misnamed – I remember watching David de Gea at West Brom, his first match for United, I thought there was no lucky that this boy can play in the Premier League.His shirt is too big for him, he is just going to be bullied, & now he is the best guardian of the world, I'm not afraid to say it. "

Speaking of his previous experiences in one of the sharpest rivalries in English football, he admitted: "I probably played against Keane, Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, the best players in United, but I would say that Scholes was the only player you sometimes thought you could do something that most players can do. & # 39; don & # 39; "

United have won eight of their last nine Premier League games since Jose Mourinho's departure, with Redknapp saying: "I looked a lot United under Jose and we could see that it was an unhappy camp. There were players who did not like their football, and it did not take any rocket scientist to realize that if anyone could just go out and mbad a few ego's, the l & # 39; To help you feel better, things would be better.

"If someone continues to drain you of your self-confidence and your energy, you train and you do not know what's going to happen, it becomes a toxic place." Now, it's like s & # 39; He had turned on the light, they play very well everyone benefits, and sometimes it's that simple.You want to see a good side of United, the league looks better when United plays well. "

"It's great that people can prove you wrong, I was written off by a lot of people when I was a player, I had only been in Liverpool for two months, and I was told by someone that one for whom I had never played I was only 18 at the club, but these things sometimes inspire you, we read them all – people say no, but everyone does it

"I just think it's important that if that's your opinion … just do not be naughty in the way you say it.If you think someone has made a mistake or It's not good enough, if that's what you think it's going to be like that you have to do your job, just try not to do it in a nasty way . "
