Rennes midfielder Stephane M’Bia has turned his back on
interest from the likes of Everton, Arsenal and Real Madrid, and
instead focused his attentions on securing a ‘dream’ move to
Manchester United.
It was The Toffees who showed the most substantive interest in
M’Bia over the summer, only to be knocked back twice in their
attempts to sign the Cameroon midfielder.
M’Bia has since penned a new contract which ties him to Rennes
for one more year, but guarantees him the right to seek a transfer
elsewhere next summer.
“Who could be better than Real Madrid or Arsenal? Manchester
United. It is my dream to play for them,” he said in the News of
the World.
“Real were first to show interest [this summer], then Newcastle
and Valencia. But I have a big season the offers will be even
bigger.
“When I was at the Olympics with Cameroon, I asked Rigobert
Song, Samuel Eto’o and Geremi about it. They told me I should stay
at Rennes another year.
“I’m happy with another season there.”
