Turkey international star Enes Unal joined Villarreal on a €14 million move from Manchester City over the summer.

The 20-year-old became the highest scoring Turkish international player in Eredivisie history.

City were however, unable to play Unal due to not having a work permit.
Unal gave an interview to Marca revealing all to the Spanish publication.
An interesting revelation made by Unal was that his idol is actually a Manchester United striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“Growing up I would watch football all day on the weekends and honestly Zlatan Ibrahimovic is my idol,” Unal said.
“He is the complete footballer.
“I also admire Cavani and Lewandowski, they are hard working strikers.”
Ibrahimovic is currently without a contract but United could offer him a new deal.
“It’s possible. It’s open,” Jose Mourinho was quoted as saying by ESPN. “We wanted to be honest and open and make a decision if his desire was to leave. There was no new contract.”
The big Swede scored 28 times in all competitions for the Red Devils last season.
City could end up signing Unal back if he does well at Villarreal. The Manchester based outfit have a buyback option for the next free seasons.
