Cong Phuong will not return to Vietnam to join the team; Duc Huy asks to stay with Van Hau

This weekend, Sint Truiden will face Eupen in the Belgian national championship. Therefore, Cong Phuong cannot return to Hanoi to join the Vietnamese team, as planned on August 26. Therefore, he will fly straight to Thailand 3 days before the match.

Besides Cong Phuong, 6 Hanoi players, Do Duy Manh, Pham Duc Huy, Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Do Hung Dung and Nguyen Van Kien, also gathered late. They are currently in Turkmenistan to prepare for the second leg of the AFC Cup inter-zone semi-final against Altyn Asyr on August 27.

In the list of 27 players, there are 2 players playing abroad, Cong Phuong and Dang Van Lam - who is playing for Muangthong United. The Vietnamese goalkeeper will not stay in Thailand, but will return to Hanoi to join the team. Today, the other members of Vietnam will gather at La Thanh Hotel (Hanoi). On September 1, the team will move to Thailand.

Duc Huy asked to stay with Van Hau

As usual, the list of accommodations for each time the Vietnam national team gathers is reviewed and listed by the coaching staff before the gathering day. Some players consider this a normal thing. Others have problems with the team leader's arrangement.

In this training session, Duc Huy and Duy Manh were assigned to the same room. The central defender born in 1996 arrived late to the training session due to a match with Hanoi FC. Perhaps this made Duc Huy unhappy because he had to be alone in the coming days.

Therefore, on the day of the training camp, the midfielder born in 1995 proactively asked to change rooms with the staff at the hotel where the Vietnamese team is stationed. "Duy Manh will be training in a few days, but Van Hau will be there tonight. I want to change rooms, stay with Hau, and Manh will arrange things later," Duc Huy suggested.

Sanchez is coming to Inter?

On the evening of August 26, reputable transfer sources in the Italian press reported that Sanchez was about to join Inter Milan. Two leading journalists specializing in reporting on transfers in the land of spaghetti, Fabrizio Romano and Gianluca Di Marzio, revealed that Inter's leadership was taking the final steps to recruit Sanchez from MU.

The former Arsenal striker could leave Old Trafford as the Red Devils are suffering heavy losses in terms of personnel, especially in the forward line. After Romelu Lukaku left for Inter Milan, MU only has 4 real strikers in the squad including Sanchez, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and young talent Mason Greenwood.

After the 1-2 loss to Crystal Palace in the third round of the Premier League, striker Martial suffered a thigh injury and has not yet set a return date. If Sanchez leaves, MU will only have Rashford and Greenwood who can play as strikers. The British press initially said that Man United were waiting for the results of the French striker's medical examination before deciding to push Sanchez to Inter Milan.

However, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems to not want Sanchez to continue to be in the MU squad, despite the ongoing striker crisis. Speaking after the loss to Palace, coach Solskjaer revealed that he is ready to let the Chilean player leave if he receives a reasonable offer.
