Man United signs up Zlatan Ibrahimovic for another season
It is a huge game for the Reds as the Dutch team and Fenerbahce both a point ahead in the table.
“With these six points we would now be in the top four, very close to the first or second, so the hard thing to accept is that we played so well and we didn’t win in those three matches”.
Feyenoord beat United 1-0 two months ago with Tonny Vilhena claiming a late victor in Rotterdam. We are going to executive the option of a second season. “We can not afford to lose”.
“The team has four new players and a new coach”.
“I remember [the Feyenoord game in Holland] because it was not a good game for us”, Darmian added.
But speaking after Mourinho, Ibrahimovic informed the media his future with United in the foreseeable was secure.
“We tried to hide in the players’ changing room, so it was practically impossible and it was no surprise we got caught”, he said.
The main problem for United is in defence, where they have centre-halves Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly out with injury.
The last time these two teams faced each other in the first match of the Europa League, the Premier League giants suffered a 1-0 defeat at De Kuip.
He stressed, though, that does not mean he has completed a U-turn on his pre-season declaration that he wants to win the title in his first season at Old Trafford, despite the club’s joint-second worst start to a Premier League campaign.
“For my players this game is a way to compete with the very top players”.
“With our style of play we are keeping people believing that the good results will come”. Now their approach will be different to then, because United must now win.
“If I was in that position I would have wanted to have seen a few more months of him and see how he handles playing through the winter”.
The former Arsenal man uses a 4-3-3 formation with skipper Dirk Kuyt in the advanced role in the midfield.
Sweden global Lindelof has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, and earlier this week Portuguese outlet Record reported that United had sent scouts to watch him and Nelson Semedo.
