I've no idea but I don't think he refused or bottled it. I imagine he hasn't been there long enough or performed to a high enough standard (yet, hopefully) to gain his manager's trust. Too much too soon for him. I've never really taken to him at the Albion tbf but I'd like him to come good...
What a bellend comment based on..... no inside knowledge whatsoever! You haven't a clue whether he hid away, none of us do, you are just projecting your agenda.
So, the Man U youngster missed the crucial pen..... so perhaps it was the correct decision to let the more experienced Boro players take them over Connolly.... (take note Southgate?)
