Michy Batshuayi, as is often the case, can barely back his excitement.
This time, it's about on-field matters. The Belgian striker is relishing the opportunity to face off against countrymen Romelu Lukaku and Marouane Fellaini in the Champions League. Valencia, the well-traveled Batshauyi's club this season, meets Manchester United on Tuesday at Old Trafford.
“We spoke about it during the international break and I’m thrilled to play against them,” the forward, who turns 25 on Tuesday, told SI.com. “We’ll see how it goes but between us, I hope we win.”
Batshuayi is currently at Valencia on a season-long loan from Chelsea, representing his fourth club since 2016.
