Glendon, 22, was cleared of a rape last Thursday following a trial at Grimsby Crown Court. The charge dated back to February 2016, when Glendon was an academy player at Manchester City.

Rosler says he has a lot of respect for the midfielder for the way that he coped with the pressure of the trial and for being one of Town's most improved players.

Rosler said: "I think (he will cope) the same way he coped in the last three or four months.

"This has been hovering over George Glendon for a long time. I enormously respect how he performed under those pressures.

"I think it is life-changing pressure. I certainly cannot imagine what it does to you.

"The only thing I can say from my point of view is that he is probably our most improved player in the first half of the season. That speaks volumes. For me, I never doubted Glenno."
