Inter Miami head coach Phil Neville has revealed Gonzalo Higuain was dropped last season due to a lack of fitness and commitment to the cause at the Major League Soccer side.
The one-time Chelsea loanee was not a regular last term after initially dropping out of the side due to knee problems. Higuain featured as a substitute eight times between the end of April and mid-July, starting just once.
Following this period, after scoring goals off the bench in back-to-back games against Philadelphia and Charlotte, the striker was reintegrated into the starting XI and helped secure Miami's playoff berth. Neville has now opened up on his decision making, showing a ruthless streak Sir Alex Ferguson often displayed during his success-laden time in charge of United.
