He has since denied suggestions that there is a rift between him a Vardy: “I have a good relationship with him. We know Jamie – after he lost he is angry, it’s normal for a player.
“If I thought one of my players was disrespectful to me or the club there would be a sanction but that was not the case.”
Vardy has made it known that Puel’s system doesn’t suit him and was unhappy when placed on the bench back in October despite him declaring fit.
His wife also ‘liked’ tweet, those included: “Genuinely waste of time him playing under Puel” and “Vardy was nonexistent. He’s been like this for the vast majority of Puel’s time here. Surely no coincidence?”
Puel spoke after his side’s defeat to Man Utd, he said: “The first feeling at the end was a question, ‘How can we lose this game?’. It is a big shame and big disappointment after this game.
“We have had a lot of chances without finding the good clinical edge.
“I think we made a bad start again. Perhaps this time we expected too much from this team. We had the first good ball to make a good counter attack but often we played too laterally or behind.
“It was a shame because we often we made the difference in good situations to shoot or cross, and we didn’t take our responsibility.”
