Monaco manager Adi Hutter has been full of praise for Barcelona loanee Ansu Fati after seeing the youngster open his account for his new club.
Fati has four goals in four games for the Ligue 1 side and
scooped the club’s MVP award for September.
Hutter says that Ansu’s looking sharp at the moment but wants to look after him as his team deal with a busy fixture list.
“Ansu is on the right track at the moment, although we have to manage him because we have a lot of games in this period, so we have to be very careful with him,” he told reporters.
“But I have the impression in any case that he is stronger, that he has more energy, so then we will have to take him into account to manage his playing time. He is young but already very experienced and the Champions League is his level, as he showed against Manchester City.
“He is the kind of player who can make the difference in a match, because he can score. Even what he did tactically with Maghnes (Akliouche) in our 5-4-1 system, the way he defended on the left flank with Krépin Diatta, it was impressive. I hope his impact in the coming weeks will still be very positive.”
Monaco play Nice next in Ligue 1 and Fati will then get a rest due to the international break.
