Tyrone Mings has hit back at Graeme Souness for his criticism after the defender was stripped of the Aston Villa captaincy.
Former Liverpool boss Souness issued a damning verdict on Mings after Steven Gerrard made the decision last month to replace him as Villa's captain for midfielder John McGinn. The Villa boss also decided to drop Mings for their opening day trip to Bournemouth - a game they lost 2-0.
Following the decision by Gerrard to replace him as captain, Souness made a brutal assessment of the defender. He wrote in his column for the Mail: "I won’t be joining the love-in for Tyrone Mings, the man Steven Gerrard has stripped of the Aston Villa captaincy in a move which, summed up in one sentence, says: 'I just don’t fancy you.'
