Rossi desires Man Utd role
Giuseppe Rossi has asked for a chance to shine at Manchester United rather than Juventus, but Parma insist he wants to stay.
The starlet spent the last six months on loan at Parma, where he proved decisive in helping them escape from relegation.
There were claims he would follow Ducali boss Claudio Ranieri to Juventus next season, but the 20-year-old has ruled that out.
"Joining Juventus is just talk. I've read about it once or twice but it's not on my mind," he told the English media.
"All I will say is that my main goal is still what it always has been - to cut it with Manchester United."
Rossi is currently with the Italy squad in the European Under-21 Championships and is expected to have his first start in this evening’s clash with the Czech Republic.
Parma President Tommaso Ghirardi gave his view on the future of this precocious talent in Serie A.
“I am hopeful, as the player confirmed to me once more he intends to stay,” insisted the patron.
“We have spoken to the Manchester directors and are at their complete disposal to find a solution that suits everyone. We are now waiting and hoping.”
