In Partizan, we work thoroughly before every game and not only when we talk about tactics and video analysis, but also about the human relationship.

I think this is just the beginning of my success, and the motivation is there.” Sadiq UmarSadiq who was part of the FK Partizan side that were eliminated by Manchester United in the Europa League this season said he believes United who are highly interested in securing his services were shocked by their display against them in the first leg of their encounter in Serbia.

“As for Manchester United, I think that they were surprised by our game in Belgrade and that is why they played the best team during the visit, which was not the case afterwards. That speaks enough about respect for Partizan.” SadiqSadiq, 23, was part of the bronze-winning Rio 2016 Olympics Nigeria U-23 18-man squad, appearing in all of Nigeria’s six games, and scoring four times in the process, including a brace in the third-place match against Honduras.
