Bruce dismisses insulting insinuations

Steve Bruce

Steve Bruce has told Setanta Sports News that he ‘dismisses’ any suggestions his Wigan side will not be giving 100 percent in their last game of the season against Manchester United.

The Latics face The Red Devils on Sunday and with Bruce coming up against his former club and manager he could prove to be the undoing of both.

However, some have alluded that the former United captain may instruct his side to ease up against United, who are chasing the Premier League title.

That is a supposition that understandably angers Bruce and one which he says is an ‘insult’ to his team’s integrity.

“We will do as best we can, that’s for sure.  Nobody’s going to question us, the whole spotlight’s on us to go and make sure we perform and play like we have done over the last few weeks,” Bruce told Setanta Sports News.

“We’re insulted a little bit that we’re just going to roll over.  I don’t think Sir Alex or his team would expect that anyway, so I just dismiss that question.”

Setanta readers' comment of the day

“United deserved the title. why can't everyone see that? Why are there all the recriminations from TV and people on here? It was a clear penalty and the rio incident one wasn't. Yes, scholes could've been sent off but how many times do you see the ref show leniency in such situations? Chelsea couldn't even win anyway so any argument is completely moot.”
