Lyon’s Nabil Fekir: Manchester United Are the Club of My Dreams

It was quickly apparent Fekir had picked up a serious knock and the France side confirmed after the game that he has ruptured cruciate ligaments in his right knee.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas quickly sent his best wishes to one of his side’s star players.

Liverpool target Nabil Fekir has revealed his desire to play for Manchester United once he leaves current club Lyon, according to reports from the Daily Star. Anthony is a very good player, I played with him at Lyon. Of course this is a very large sum.

Fekir is considered one of the brightest young players plying their trade in French Ligue 1 and the striker enjoyed a fruitful campaign last term, scoring 13 goals in 34 league appearances. When discussing Martial’s move to United, the attacking midfielder could not help but reveal his admiration for the Premier League giants, admitting he would jump at the chance to join the club later down the line. “Why not.it’s a club that makes you dream, but we’re not there yet”, said Fekir.

Fekir came through Lyon’s “B” team where he had spent three years and his quality was there for all to see during his early stages at the club. “Then, we will see”.

The pair are now away together on global duty, with Martial earning his first call up for the Euro 2016 hosts ahead of friendlies against Portugal and Serbia.

“It’s normal Rooney doesn’t know me”, he told reporters at a news conference in France on Wednesday. The price is between the two clubs, I don’t see myself under any pressure other than proving myself on the pitch.
