Nghe An player 'vows to be loyal' to Than Quang Ninh

Similar to the end of last season, Than Quang Ninh is facing the problem of "force bleeding" when a series of pillars are leaving Cam Pha stadium to join other teams. The reason is due to the delay in paying salaries and signing-on fees by the Board of Directors of the coal mining team.

Up to this point, some familiar faces have found new destinations. According to information appearing in the newspapers, the duo Mac Hong Quan - Nghiem Xuan Tu are now on the payroll of V.League rookie Binh Dinh. Meanwhile, two players, Duong Van Khoa and Nguyen Hai Huy, are also on their way to join Ho Chi Minh City Club.

In contrast to his teammates, midfielder Le The Manh affirmed that he will continue playing for the team in the mining land, despite being in a similar situation. Currently, the player from Nghe An is about to complete the injury recovery process and will return to normal training in early August.

Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper, Le The Manh said: "I will play for Than Quang Ninh until the end of this season, then make the final decision on whether to stay or go. Honestly, during the injury treatment process, I received a lot of attention from the team. Moreover, Than Quang Ninh also needs at least 1 more point to ensure relegation. Therefore, I will stay to complete the goal with my teammates."

Le The Manh was born in 1993 in Nghia Dan district, a product of the T&T-VSH training center (Cua Lo town). Before playing for Than Quang Ninh (2019), the 28-year-old player played for Lam Dong, Tay Ninh and Saigon. In addition to his main position as a central midfielder, Le The Manh can also play as a left-back.

At the beginning of the 2021 season, Le The Manh's contract with the Mining team was extended for another 3 years. And notably, Quang Ninh is also Le The Manh's wife's hometown./.
