Landon Donovan on Thursday laughed off rumors that he could make a sensational move to Manchester United now that former Everton boss David Moyes is taking thereins at Old Trafford. The Los Angeles Galaxy forward completed two successful short-term loan spells at Goodison Park during the MLS off-season in 2010 and 2012. Moyes had expressed interest inbringing Donovan to Everton on a full time basis.
“Well … I’m pretty sure that they prefer players that can make penalty kicks,” he said. Donovan has missed two penalty kicksfor the Galaxy this year, both in losses. “So perhaps if I can get that back under my belt, I’ll have a chance.”
The 31-year-old said he thinks Man United has made the rightchoice in bringing in Moyes to succeed the retiring Alex Ferguson. “It was, in my opinion, the pretty obvious choice. I think anybody who has come across him probably in hisplaying career and definitely in his coaching career has a ton of respect for him and is very happy for him,” Donovan said. “I’ve never heard anybody say a bad thing about him. I havenothing but great memories of my time there, and I think he’s going to do really well.”
Donovan to Man U? Now you’re doing too much SA and where ever else this came from! Please…this is irresponsible reporting!
