Furthermore, the Spaniard would be of the opinion that he can take ‘a further leap in quality’ under Max Allegri, citing the cases of Morata and Paul Pogba.
Asensio was thought to be one of the players who would step up in the No 7’s absence, but the 22-year-old surprisingly warned ‘it’s not up to me to carry this team’ earlier in the week.
