"Man Utd went behind my back" Paul Ince on his successful move to Inter | Premier League Tonight

Paul Ince recalls the reasoning behind his move from Manchester United to Inter Milan and the subsequent impact on his life on Premier League Tonight.

[@cjewe1z]

Ince went to Serie A at a time when they had the best players in the world and more than held his own. Respect Ince, every time. He had to struggle hard to go from where he came to where he got to.

[@TVsez]

Well said!

What's more impressive is that it gave him confidence in his technical abilities. He did a drag back edge of the box vs Holland in Euro 96 that he would never have done before he went to Italy. The move was definitely good for him.

Huge respect for Ince and McManaman for going abroad and actually learning a new language. It’s a big cultural problem for the British in general that they are too ignorant to learn a foreign language and expect everyone to bend over backwards for them. It’s also been negative for the English national team as players won’t move and learn a new way of playing because they don’t want to leave their mates in the pub.

[@Okradoma]

Jo Hoodlum I’m exactly the same lol

[@chivasteele]

His contract demands at United were ridiculous. He wanted a guarantee to be the highest paid player at the club for the rest of his career. He demanded that if United bought a player and paid him £,100,000 per week, then his wages would go up to £,100,000 per week. He said to the press that all he wanted was "parity".

[@karlclifford1176]

I’d argue the likes of Ajax and Dortmund are very patient with young players because they want them to do well. Think it’s more a case of they HAVE to give them time because they don’t have endless resources to sign loads of players like teams in the Premiership.

[@Revelian1982]

And this is why the last time they won Champions Leagues was in the 90s.

[@aidygooner]

With the amount of money Ajax regularly make they can definitely afford to make big signings but they have a proud philosophy which is very sustainable and gives them a famous identity. After all if they weren't producing good enough players then they'd sign players. After last season's shocking display in Europe they actually bought established big players this summer like Tadic and Daley Blind.

[@Revelian1982]

Yeah, Barcelona were chasing both those players.

[@aidygooner]

Revelian1982 Barcelona are certainly chasing 2 of Ajax's players. Frenkie De Jong and Matthijs De Ligt who will be superstars for club and country.

[@nickm8874]

8496ricko of course Fergie was right. Nobody neutral would suggest otherwise. But this armchair / internet fan bollocks that a player can only have a good career if he wins trophies is utter bollocks. It basically implies that every player should move to one of two or three clubs in each league. Spoiling football

When he called himself "The Guvnor" Fergie knew he was getting too big for his boots and decided to get rid of him.

He wasn't a major loss to the team as Scholes came in to partner the real guvnor in central midfield called Roy Keane and United won the double again even though Ince was sold along with Kanchelskis and Hughes. Fergie knew what he was doing and it proved right.
