“What I learned is….” Danilo finally make clear comment towards City Ground future revealing where he see himself before season kick on.
Amid speculation of a potential move to Manchester United, Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo has made comments that align with manager Erik ten Hag’s expectations for players.
Since joining Forest last year, the 23-year-old Brazilian has become a crucial part of the team, helping them avoid relegation. His performances have reportedly drawn interest from both Manchester United and AC Milan, with a £34 million price tag rumored.
Ten Hag has been clear about his desire for players with a “great mentality” who can “perform under stress.” Danilo claims to have developed these qualities during his time at Brazilian club Palmeiras.
In an interview with The Athletic, Danilo highlighted the importance of staying grounded and focused, lessons he learned from his former coach Abel Ferreira. He also expressed ambition to help Forest achieve success similar to Brighton and Aston Villa.
Ten Hag’s requirements for new signings, which include a winning attitude and the ability to handle pressure, seem to match Danilo’s mentality. This alignment could make Danilo an attractive option if United’s pursuit of PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte falls through due to price disagreements.
Danilo is reportedly one of several midfield targets for United, alongside players like Frenkie de Jong, Sander Berge, and Youssouf Fofana.
