Starlet claims United interest
Paris Saint Germain starlet Youssouf Mulumbu is content with life
at Parc des Princes, despite claiming that Manchester United have
been in contact with him.
The 20-year-old - who is playing in his first season as a
professional - has emerged as a promising prospect for Paul Le Guen
having played 15 times this term.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is an admirer of the versatile
performer, according to Mulumbu himself, along with European giants
Juventus and Valencia.
However, PSG's DR Congo-born midfielder admits he is happy with the
chance handed to him by the French club ahead of proposed talks
over his future.
"It is always nice to play regularly for every club, but it is more
encouraging when it is for PSG," Mulumbu told But.
"It is not easy to trust youngsters here, so I can't show bad
performances like I did at Toulouse.
"Manchester United, Juventus and Valencia are still following my
performances, they keep on contacting me.
"But they know that since I signed a professional contract, it is
more difficult for them.
"Regarding my future I don't know what I will do. We will sit down
and discuss it with my agent and the coach. It is really
encouraging to be followed by such clubs.
"The most important thing for me is to play, and I can't complain
because I have played nearly 20 times and it is only my first pro
season. I am proud."
Meanwhile, PSG will be without Pierre-Alain Frau for the remainder
of the season after the striker suffered a muscle injury in his
foot.
The capital club are currently seven points clear of the danger
zone with three games to go, but Frau will be unable to assist
their bid for salvation after an MRI scan confirmed he will be
sidelined for a month.
