In summer, Madrid's "Real" wanted to let Fabio Coentrao go, but he admits that he could have moved to "Manchester United", but now he is determined to prove his worth in the royal club.
On the last day of player transfers, the left-back defender of the Portuguese national team clashed hands with the English champions, but the clubs failed to fill in the transfer documents on time and the footballer remained in Spain.
This season, his place in "Real" was taken by Marcelo, but the Brazilian suffered an injury while representing his country and may be out of action for some time, so F.Coentrao will once again return to the team's main eleven.
"I want to play even better than last season," - said the defender. - "I want to prove that I deserve to wear the 'Real' shirt.
"There was an opportunity to move to 'Manchester United', but I stayed in Madrid and therefore I am ready to prove my worth," - added the former member of Lisbon's "Benfica".
