Olympique Marseille midfielder, Mathieu Valbuena, has revealed his desire of joining the English Premier League side, Manchester United. The midfielder was talking after the Red Devils won their much-anticipated tie against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, which has left them just
a point away from their record breaking 19th English Premier League title.
The French International has been on the radar of United boss, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985. The 26-year-old was ecstatic to be linked with the League leaders and confirmed that he would certainly consider
moving to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 should an approach be made by the club officials.
The French International seemed excited at the prospect of playing for Manchester United. He mentioned that he would ride all the way to England if the deal gets done. This comment confirmed the interest of midfielder in Ferguson’s side and he further added
that he would prefer riding his bike to England, rather than travel by air.
The Frenchman joined the Ligue 1 outfit in 2006 after spending a couple of years with Libourne Saint-Seurin. There he made 53 appearances and scored 10 goals before making a move to Olympique Marseille. Since landing at the Stade Velodrome, Valbuena has
made 125 League appearances for the club and has bagged 15 goals so far. He also has made seven International appearances for French national side and has already opened his goal account. The player also has won one Ligue 1 title with Les Phoceens in the 2009/10
season.
In an interview given to a local newspaper, the French International mentioned, "Manchester [United]? I would cycle there."
The midfielder hailed the efforts of his possibly ‘to be’ team after they defeated Chelsea, which has opened a six-point gap on the Blues with just two games left to play. He believed that United could go on to win UEFA Champions League as well should they
play in the same manner as they did against Chelsea.
Mathieu is valued at 10.5 Million Pounds by his current club and with Giggs expected to put curtains on his legendary career in the coming seasons, the likelihood of the winger switching to Premier League is not a farfetched notion.
