Corentin Tolisso considered more suitable to join Manchester United

DBasia.news – Former Manchester United defender, Rafael da Silva believes Bayern Munich midfielder, Corentin Tolisso is more suited to join the Red Devils.

Tolisso is currently still under contract with Bayern Munich until June 2022 but his name has been linked to sales next summer due to difficulties in securing regular playing time under the direction of Hansi Flick. Old Trafford then emerged as a possible destination for Tolisso, who joined Bayern in 2017 from Olympique Lyon for € 41 million ($ 47 million).

Rafael played with Tolisso in Ligue 1 and praised the French player, emphasizing that he would be a perfect addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.

“[Tolisso is] one of the best midfielders I have ever played with. I think he will be perfect for Manchester United. Hopefully he goes there, “Rafael said in response to Tolisso’s report opening a discussion with the Red Devils.

Tolisso himself has made 24 appearances for Bayern this season, scoring three goals and contributing five assists, but has only played as a starter 15 times.

After a bright start to his career in Germany and winning the 2018 World Cup with the French national team, Tolisso suffered an anterior ligament tear at the end of 2018, but has recently called the injury to have made him more determined to prove his quality.

“I think the injury has made me grow mentally, it made me tough me,” Tolisso told reporters in September last year. “That changes the mindset.

“I know that I have to work hard to get back to the top level. I have to continue like this and find my true level before my injury. That depends on me. I have to give myself a little time.

“Together with Bayern, I have also worked a lot. I made good preparations. It depends on me to continue. “

Meanwhile, Rafael is no stranger to giving transfer advice to Manchester United, stressing that in April new players should not come to the club just to make money.

“It has taken a while to get back on track. Two years should have been enough to do so but now it’s been seven years. We [United] have made a lot of mistakes. We started recruiting expensive players and giving them lots of money. “I don’t agree with that,” Rafael told ESPN.

“Just because a player is worth £ 150 million doesn’t mean he’s good for the team. That depends on the character of the player. We have made some mistakes, but I hope now we can get back on track. “
