The international match is over. The Red Devils were able to prove themselves to their coach. Former international Gert Verheyen would remove one of Domenico Tedesco’s ‘favorites’ from the team in midfield.
With Tielemans?
Orel Mangala was fully launched into the national team by Tedesco. But who will be left out of the team when Kevin De Bruyne returns? That is a question mark for the national coach. Verheyen gives his opinion.
“If Youri Tielemans reaches his level, he deserves that place. Otherwise you can also choose Orel Mangala there. He has also done great in the past matches. For the match against England I would have put Orel Mangala there. Now it would be It would be illogical not to choose Tielemans,” he says Sporza.
Or with Mangala?
Amadou Onana is a certainty as a starter and there is no discussion about Kevin De Bruyne. So there is still one position available. Mangala played in all matches under Tedesco, except against Ireland. That’s telling. He is important for the balance in the team.
However, Tielemans is also a player who gets many opportunities. He played in 9 matches out of 12. He was missing twice due to an injury and against Estonia he remained on the bench. Tedesco still has a few months to make the decision.
