The head coach of the youth national team of Ukraine Dmytro Mykhailenko confirmed that the UAF is actively working on the naturalization of MU winger Zakhary Baumann.
- "Of course, we have been following him since he expressed his desire to play for the Ukrainian national team. Our representatives have been in touch with him and his parents. If a player wants to get citizenship, it is definitely a positive thing and we should encourage it. In times of war, there are more and more such players. Therefore, we are actively tracking players with Ukrainian roots.
First of all, when calling up players from foreign clubs, we must adhere to the sports principle, and there is no difference where the player plays - he must match the level of the best players of the Ukrainian national team, this is the main indicator," said theUFcoach.
