Paul Merson has made a slightly bizarre accusation against Paris Saint-Germain striker Moise Kean after he stamped on a Manchester United player.
It’s not quite clear what Merson is getting at here, but watch the video below as the Sky Sports pundit seems to suggest the youngster did it because he’s on loan from Everton…
“Kean’s just stamped on one of their players, he’s on loan from Everton so…”

Is Merson suggesting that this is the kind of thing Everton encourage their players to do? Or that they might be keen to injure Man Utd players to boost their own cause this season?
Either way, it seems an ill-informed comment, even if it was meant as a bit of a joke.
Everton have been portrayed as a modern day Wimbledon this week since the derby. Liverpool players, manager, pundits etc. We have remained silent about this as a club but I really hope Carlo addresses this disgraceful behaviour in his press conference tomorrow.
