Musonda: "Many English clubs wanted to buy me. Man U, City, Arsenal."
Charly Musonda is the new diamond of the Red Devils. On loan at Real Betis, Musonda arrived to a team who had not won a game in eight matches and then helped them go 6 games unbeaten. It is no surprise that his performance for Betis has caught the eye of Belgium national team coach, who could include him for the summers EURO.
"Admittedly, it's even better than expected, but I also said several months ago that I immediately would be ready. I have trained over the years with global players who won the Premier League, I knew what I could. I was not nervous at my first match with Betis. Why would I? Football is all my life," said Musonda.
"It's football, it's what I do. I just want to enjoy it. And of course you can enjoy as a teammate as Joacquin Sanchez says I'm a star in the making. Not that I need confirmation, but it does of course have fun."
Whether he should have been more patient at Chelsea? "Nobody could know what Mourinho was with me in mind. It was simple: many English clubs wanted to buy me. Man U, City, Arsenal ... but only a loan was an option for Chelsea. And mattered to me alone: ​​play! Whether I return or not. There was interest from France, Netherlands. My ex-coach Yannick Ferrera, with whom I have much contact, asked me for Standard, but I did not want to return to Belgium. And eventually went Betis."
Musonda expressed his disappointment about not being selected for the Belgium first team. "Honestly, I was a little disappointed when I was not selected. And at the same time either. Playing for Enzo Scifo, my idol, is also good. But maybe my time will come."
