Coutinho will not leave for Manchester United

Philippe Coutinho will not leave for Manchester United, because he respects Liverpool and the time connected with this club. The footballer’s agent Kia Joorabchian announced the Barcelona’s Brazilian winger’s position. The agent told that he has clients amongst the Red Devils, but as for Coutinho, the Brazilian will stay true to himself and will never move to Manchester United.

Joorabchian stated in an interview to talkSPORT the following,

“It would be very difficult for Philippe to play in Liverpool opponent’s squad, as he has an immense attachment to the club. He spent there an incredible period. His heart is still with Liverpool.

Certainly, if Coutinho returns to the EPL, it will be Liverpool, but for now it is difficult to make it happen and everything depends on them.”

There were many rumors in the pre-season transfer window regarding the Brazilian’s possible transfer to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team, but the Red Devils were scared off by the price on the halfback and the absence of desire in the footballer himself. Coutinho was connected with the return to Anfield, as Barcelona were looking for other options to replace the champion of America, who did not leave up to expectations.

Coutinho moved to Barcelona in the winter of 2018. Since then, the Catalan club was eliminated from the Champions League play-offs, winning at home with a difference of three goals. Last season they were passed by the Roman Roma at the quarter-final stage and this season Liverpool scored four goals at Anfield after an away defeat with a score of 3:0.

However, it cannot be said that Coutinho in Liverpool’s squad would achieve great heights. In his last year in the Merseysiders’ squad, the Brazilian often dragged the blanket over himself and shot from long distances, not taking the ball to the last third of the pitch. Now players roles in Liverpool are clearly distributed, therefore there are no problems with egoism. The result of bringing the ideas of Jürgen Klopp to the ideal was the Champions League Cup and the whole team’s journey to it.
