Southampton defender Jannik Vestergaard has urged Ghanaian youngster Kevin Danso to learn from his red card against Manchester United.
Danso, who joined the Saints on loan in the summer transfer window was sent off during the 1-1 stalemate after picking up two yellow cards.
However, his defensive partner Vestergaard says it was just a result of playing the way manager Ralph Hasenhuttl wants them to.
“We like to be very aggressive, get forward and not wait for the opponent to come to us," he explained.
“Obviously it could have been done differently but sometimes that’s the risk we take trying to win the ball instead of waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.
“It’s unfortunate and we had to dig in deep afterward, but he had played well until then.”
After training with the Ghanaian on a regular basis, Vestergaard believes the sending off won’t affect him upon his return.
“I’m not worried about that”, added the Danish international.
“He knows what he can do. It was an unfortunate red card and it made it difficult for the team to fight for three points and even for holding onto the draw.
“He played well until then and he is an aggressive player who doesn’t wait for anyone to come to him.
“Many times it works well, and we win the ball up high which gives us chances.
“On this occasion, he was late and got a second yellow card. It is what it is”
Southampton will travel to Bramall Lane to play Sheffield United on Saturday in matchday five of the English Premier League.
