According to the "Daily Telegraph", Braun Robson talked about the financial dangers faced by Bellingham, Menu and football players in an interview.
About the recruitment of Bellingham
Me, Cantona and Ferguson all attended the event when Bellingham visited Manchester United, but in the end he did not sign for Manchester United, which was really disappointing. We met Bellingham and his parents and we had a great chat. We thought he was a good candidate to sign for Manchester United, but Cantona did a terrible job when he signed for Dortmund. At that time, I really thought Manchester United was going to get him.
On the financial dangers faced by football players
There are many examples in football of my former teammates going bankrupt because of bad investments. I've heard so many stories over the years that the people who let you invest take a commission from the money you lose, and over the past four or five years I've wanted to do something to change that. So, I founded High Performance Personals, a company that provides financial coaching services to the sports, music, and entertainment industries. I founded the company with former Manchester United academy player turned finance expert Simon Andrews. To me, the point I want to get across is that by trying to educate yourself, your parents, or your agents about investing, we get them out of trouble before they make a mistake, rather than fixing it after the fact.
About Menu
I like the temperament of this young man very much. I have seen him on the training ground and he is very polite to everyone. This is a good start. I heard that his father was also a down-to-earth person who loved helping others. My father is a truck driver, and he always taught me to be down-to-earth and not to get carried away by temporary things. At Menu's age, this is very important stuff and it may affect his development in the next few years. He is really a very talented player. I really like the goals Menu has scored in recent games and as a midfielder, that's an important part if you want to be a top midfielder. Some midfielders are so good at reading the game and influencing it that they are always in the right position and dictate the tempo of the game. If you want to be a top midfielder, you need to score goals. Looking at Rodri and his goals, he should be considered a defensive midfielder. Roy Keane and Paul Ince are both capable of doing this, as is Gerrard. It's great that Menu can score in important games, he really has great potential.
About the European Cup
If I were Southgate, I would be excited about the players we have at the moment. With Menu's outstanding performance, it is difficult to exclude him from the national team list. England performed well in the warm-up match against Brazil, and the players started to make some connections. We were able to keep the ball well and cause trouble. Southgate balanced the team's lineup very well.
