Mourinho: Messi will never leave, he belongs to Barcelona
Posted Thursday, November 24, 2016 by Tribalfootball.com
Jose Mourinho has poured cold water over reports that Manchester United could soon make a move for Lionel Messi.
The Argentine ace is being rumoured to potentially depart Barcelona at the end of the season, with Manchester City also linked, but United boss Mourinho feels very strongly that the 29-year-old will spend his entire career at the Camp Nou.
"Messi is every season the same story, every season he is going to leave and he never leaves," he said ahead of Thursday night's Europa League clash with Feyenoord.
"Honestly, I hope he never leaves because I think he belongs to Barcelona, I think Barcelona belongs to him.
"I think the natural tendency and the beautiful thing would be for him to start and to finish his career at Barcelona.
"For Manchester United, no for sure, and I think he will stay in Barcelona. That's just a personal opinion."
