Ex Inter Milan Defender Reckons: “Man United Interest Sign Of Recognition For Simone Inzaghi | OneFootball

Former Inter Milan defender Antonio Paganin feels Simone Inzaghi is finally earning the respect he deserves as proven by the interest from Man United.

The Nerazzurri manager has been at the club’s helm since replacing Antonio Conte in the summer of 2021.

The 48-year-old had his highs and lows, and was at one point risking the sack in his second season at the club.

Nevertheless, he managed to turn the tide in his favor, mostly thanks to his exploits in the cups. That season, Inzaghi won the Italian Super Cup and Coppa Italia for the second year running.

And more importantly, he reached the final of the Champions League before falling just short against Manchester City.

Last season, the Piacenza native enjoyed his most magical campaign at Appiano Gentile to date. He led the Beneamata towards a historic Scudetto title which unlocked the club’s second star.

Moreover, the majority of the most renowned online bookmakers are tipping the Italian champions to retain their Serie A title despite their relatively slow start to the season, including Soccer Betting at 1Bet, and that is partially thanks to the manager’s prowess.

Therefore, Inzaghi has now established himself as a household name in coaching. Hence, even Manchester United are reportedly interested in his services.

Antonio Paganin Discusses Man United Interest In Simone Inzaghi

For his part, Paganin insists these links show that the Italian coach is finally receiving his dues.

“For Inzaghi, Man United’s interest is a huge sign of recognition,” said the 58-year-old in his interview with TMW Radio via FcInterNews.

“if we also turn back the time to a year and a half ago, he was on the grill. That was before the Champions League final.

“Now it seems like the world has turned upside down. So we must congratulate Inzaghi who has put himself on the line and brought innovations to Inter.”

Nevertheless, Paganin isn’t certain that Inzaghi would thrive in the Premier League.

“I have doubts about his adaptation to the English world. Bringing the three-man system to a world that always plays with four at the back, I don’t know if it could work.

“The Premier League is the football university, it’s true. But if joining Man United, who are not among the elite fighting for the title at the moment, could be complicated.

“He would have nothing to lose, but for me, he would clash with a culture that is different from a tactical perspective.”
