Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi has broken his silence on speculation that he is a potential candidate to become the next MUFC manager. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, amid the rumours flying around that his services is needed at Old Trafford, he can confirm that his entire focus remains on Marseille.
De Zerbi added that the French club is the right place for him because the supporters are passionate football fans.
His words, “My focus is on Marseille. I wanted to come here, I’m here before a very important match and there’s nothing else on my mind. I feel good here and I have nothing to say about the future, we’ll talk about that later. I feel very good in this city and this club.
Marseille is the right place for me, because the people love football and they feel the passion. It’s a religion more than a sport, and it’s more than a job. If you want to work at the club, you have to eat, drink, and sleep football. At the moment, I feel very good at this club. We’re building something special. [Sporting director] Medhi Benatia, [president] Pablo Longoria, and I are working to make Marseille better.
I feel my work in the city is not finished. In the future, for sure, the Premier League is a different fashion to any other league in the world, but at the moment, my focus is just on Marseille. The Premier League is absolutely the best league in the world, and I have great memories of when I worked in Brighton. It was an amazing experience for me, and I feel the league is getting better and better.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
