Man Utd's offer to Roberto De Zerbi revealed! Italian coach 'showed Marseille players contract' from Red Devils as part of team talk to inspire dressing room

<p>The Italian was linked with a move to United earlier this year but ended up <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/roberto-de-zerbi-new-job-marseille-announce-italian-manager-s-appointment-after-shock-brighton-exit/bltfcded87683796b30" target="_blank">joining Marseille instead</a>. However, according to<em> </em><a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/-vous-m-avez-humilie-vous-avez-humilie-notre-club-devant-notre-public-un-coup-de-gueule-et-des-doutes-pour-de-zerbi/1519430" target="_blank"><em>L'Equipe</em>,</a> the former Brighton head coach used a projector to show his Marseille players a copy of the contract he had been offered by the Red Devils. The 45-year-old allegedly said he put "passion before money" to come to the French giants.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>United ultimately stuck with Ten Hag and extended his contract until 2026, before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/time-finally-runs-out-for-erik-ten-hag-man-utd-set-to-sack-coach-nightmare-start/bltbc78659f6992704c" target="_blank">firing him in late October</a>. Now, Sporting CP boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruben-amorim-new-man-utd-head-coach-red-devils-confirm-appointment-portuguese-boss-start-date-delayed-two-weeks/blt557a09768631c671" target="_blank">Ruben Amorim will succeed him at Old Trafford</a>, with the Portuguese facing a daunting task at the struggling Premier League giants.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>De Zerbi admitted on Friday that he was "ready to leave" Marseille after their poor <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/roberto-de-zerbi-threatens-to-quit-marseille-job-home-defeat-newly-promoted-auxerre-mason-greenwood-penalty-in-vain/blta2bb6723c9c7a582#csf752d98639084dd2" target="_blank">3-1 home loss to Auxerre</a>. He told reporters after the defeat: "I have to take responsibility for this home defeat. We have difficulties at home, that’s clear. I don’t know if it’s a lack of courage or personality. I came here to play at the Velodrome because I wanted to live the experience. If the problem is me, I’m ready to leave. I’m leaving without the money, I don’t care about the rest. I don’t want to make excuses and talk nonsense. I’m not going to escape, we have to face reality. That’s what I have to do."</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amorim's first game in charge of United will be away to lowly Ipswich Town on November 24 but before then, interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will be in the dugout for Sunday's clash with Leicester City.</p>
