Julen Lopetegui on United’s supposed interest: “I don’t want to talk about absurd things”

Coach Julen Lopetegui is highly respected in Spain and Europe for the work he has done, especially with Sevilla. Currently, the DT is still in command of the Spanish team, although that has not been an impediment for the English press to point out him as a candidate to be placed on the Manchester United bench.

After the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, a large number of technicians have been linked to the ‘Red Devils’, but for now there is nothing official. However, the media take advantage of any contact to try to clarify the picture, and this time they generated some discomfort in Julen.

During the press conference of the match Sevilla vs. Wolfsburg for the Champions League, Lopetegui was consulted directly about the possibility of going to United, a situation that caused him discomfort. “No, no, please. Tell me about the Champions”, The Spanish strategist initially explained.

“The illusion that we have of beating Wolfsburg tomorrow does not allow us to talk about absurd things. With all due respect, we only answer to the reference of the international match“Added the DT, making it clear that he is totally focused on his work at the command of the ‘Nervionenses’.

“Please no. We are an important day away, from a key duel, to talk about other thingsJulen Lopetegui added later, when he received a similar question again.

Let’s remember that the coach went through a bad time a few years ago, when fixing his future in advance: he signed for Real Madrid when he was leading the Spanish team and ended up being dismissed from the ‘Red’ one day before the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
