""Some people are proud of them. Some people are questioning the use of them in certain circumstances. What do you think of that flags debate in the context of what you think about patriotism?""
""I worry about unity. I've seen what we did with the team [England] to unify every community. "I do think there's more that bonds us all than separates us. We should try and focus more on what brings us together than what separates us.""

A Salford match was disrupted when pitch invaders attempted to place a St George's flag, with Britain First claiming involvement.
