Pham Manh Hung did not join Hai Phong, continued to wear SLNA shirt

At the end of the 2018 season, it was thought that Pham Manh Hung would leave the Nghe An team to find a new destination. One of the teams most eager to have the signature of this former U23 Vietnam captain was Hai Phong, where coach Ngo Quang Truong is currently the Technical Director. The Lach Tray team convinced the 1993-born central defender with a 2-year contract and quite attractive benefits.

Receiving an invitation from Hai Phong, Manh Hung initially agreed to move to the Lach Tray Stadium team. However, things then took a different turn, when the defender from Nghia Dan had a frank discussion with SLNA's leadership.

And finally, Manh Hung decided to decline Hai Phong's invitation. Because Manh Hung still has 1 year left on his contract with the Nghe An team. Head coach Nguyen Duc Thang also confirmed this information.

By retaining the former U23 Vietnam player, the Nghe An team will temporarily feel secure with their defense. In addition to his main position as a center back, Pham Manh Hung can also play as a left-back.

When Que Ngoc Hai will join Viettel from next season, it is likely that Hung "crossbar" will play with Hoang Van Khanh in the center of defense. And when necessary, he can also move to the left wing to replace Vo Ngoc Duc or Pham Xuan Manh.

By agreeing to stay at SLNA, the player from Nghia Dan will have the opportunity to find himself again, restoring the trust of the coaching staff and fans of Nghe An. It is almost certain that Manh Hung will be arranged by coach Nguyen Duc Thang to play in his favorite position as a central defender./.
