MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER Louis van Gaal “has nothing to do with” Marouane Fellaini’s potential move to Napoli, according to Rafael Benitez.
Fellaini has been linked with a loan move to the Serie A outfit, who claimed a 1-0 pre-season friendly win over Barcelona last night.
Asked why Javier Mascherano, who was also chased by Napoli, never made the move, Benitez said coaches played no part.
“It didn’t depend on the coach but on the project,” Benitez said. ”That will be the case with Fellaini too. Van Gaal has nothing to do with it.”
Benitez said he was “still missing something” in his squad as Napoli look to close the gap on Serie A giants Juventus and Roma. Asked if Fellaini was close, Benitez told Sport Mediaset: “Is he? I don’t see him.
“When I talk about revenue and wages, I am referring to the ability to construct a strong squad. Our squad is strong but clearly we are still missing something.
“We must continue to form a strong group to recover the lost ground from Juventus and Roma.”
That’s shocking to be honest. He shouldn’t have went to Thailand if he was going meeting up with the international team.. I didn’t even know he was Jamaican
I Believe it was a tour for the owners who are from there. But I agree with you general.
If he’s too tired to play now how will he cope with the extra games next season. Leicster may want to sign a couple new center backs. Huth and Morgan are both in their 30s and who’s the current back up?
Prob smoking to much Green.
