Arsenal left-back Andre Santos has ‘apologised’ for his actions at half-time against Manchester United.
Andre Santos has offered an apology to Arsenal fans for swapping shirts with Robin van Persie at half-time during Saturday’s match.
Santos was lambasted by supporters and even criticised by Arsene Wenger, while his wife defended his actions on Twitter.
Now the Brazilian himself has stuck his head above the parapet, to offer an apology to supporters.
Here is what he had to say, speaking in The Sun:
“I’d like to apologise to supporters who felt aggrieved by it.
“Did I think it would cause such a commotion? Of course I didn’t, otherwise I would have told Robin to exchange the shirts away from public view.”
So to sum up, he is sorry supporters are upset, rather than sorry he did it. We’re not so sure that cuts the mustard.
What do you think of Santos’ apology? Time to move on?
