Swindon boss Wellens backing Man Utd keeper Kovar for big things

Swindon boss Richie Wellens is impressed by on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper Matej Kovar.

Former United forward Wellens says Kovar has every chance of making it at the top level.

“When you play in an Under-23s environment every single week it can be a little bit easy and the game does come very easy to him," he said. “But when we're 4-2 up with five minutes to go, we don't want you playing the ball around in our box.

“So I'm just trying to develop his game management because he's never been in this scenario before where every single week he's playing for three points and playing for an important win. It's just the next stage of his development because the lad has got everything to be a top 'keeper, so we just need to keep improving him."
