Brighton boss De Zerbi: No pressure on Fati going to Man Utd

Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi insists there'll be no pressure placed on star signing Ansu Fati.

Fati joined Brighton on-loan from Barcelona on deadline day a fortnight ago.

De Zerbi said: "I want him to enjoy the game and I want to enjoy his ability. I don't want to put any pressure on him. He has had only had three or four training sessions.

"He can play number 9, 10 or 11 as well. He's a big talent, but I've only been working with him for a week. If you ask me again in one month, I can be more precise."

On going to Manchester United tomorrow, De Zerbi added: "Manchester United are still a great team, great players and a great manager, one of the best managers in Europe.

"We have very important month. We start with United and we finish with Liverpool. We play against big teams and we are excited to start playing."
