Ex-Mancester United midfielder Quinton Fortune calls Burley striker Lyle Foster to work on his confidence

Quinton Fortune is hoping Lyle Foster rediscovers the form which made Burnley sign him for.

The former Manchester United midfielder said the player's confidence was not at the required level and the sooner he gains it, he will be at his best again.

"I hope he will come back stronger for South Africa after this World Cup because I was looking forward to watching Lyle, thinking he can bring that experience of being a Premier League player to lead the team because so much is expected from him," the former midfielder told Premier Bet, per Burnley Express.

"I think for Lyle it's probably just a lack of confidence and every player goes through that, but I was really rooting for him during the World Cup given the prospect of having Lyle up front.

"He must have something to him because otherwise why would Vincent Kompany have brought him to Burnley? I just think he's a player going through a difficult time and he probably just needs an arm around the shoulder. He needs support."

“I was lucky when I came over to Europe, I was 14. Everything for me seemed like an adventure. These guys like Lyle are probably having a tough time. They left home later so it might be a little bit harder for them to adapt, but the quality is there.”
