‘Fellaini? Depends on United’ Napoli Coach Rafa Benitez has hinted that the ball is in Manchester United’s court over negotiations for Marouane Fellaini.
The Vesuviani are seen as in continued talks with the Red Devils over a proposed initial loan move for the 26-year-old midfielder.
Reports indicate that there is currently a gap in economic terms and when pressed on the issue,
Benitez hinted that it is the Premier League side responsible for the move’s success or not.
“We cannot discuss the market, we have so many players being named in the newspapers.
I work with what I have. Everyone is working to improve in condition and in play,” began Benitez to reporters today.
“Fellaini is a Manchester United player, it does not depend on us, but it depends on them… “He is a great player, but he is at another team. It appears he is waiting for Van Gaal. We will have to wait. “Is he the right player? We have players that work very well, whilst it also depends on who leaves. It is not easy to name names.
“What features in a midfielder am I after? Players who have the mindset to win every game, then we can start to talk about the technical quality.
“With our same mentality, but with a little more quality…”
It was put to the Coach that someone like Fellaini would facilitate a 4-1-4-1 formation, which was seen in the second half of the weekend win over PAOK Salonika.
“It depends on the players that we have, what we can take into consideration. The 4-3-3 can become a 4-1-4-1, the 4-2-3-1 can be played with three strikers.
“I did not like very much the second half [against PAOK], we had some difficulties in controlling the game, but we have tried it recently…”
