Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi joked he was so “seduced” by Jeremy Menez that he “intends to marry him!”

The versatile French forward arrived as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain and has scored three goals in the first two Serie A games.

“He’s not a surprise for me,” Coach Inzaghi told Le Parisien newspaper ahead of tonight’s showdown with Juventus.

“Adriano Galliani had the idea of signing him. I knew of his technique and pace, but wanted to know what he thought and so I met him in Ibiza.

“He seduced me in five minutes and at that point I said what I expected from him. I realised that I was faced with a lad who was very open, kind and professional.

“What he has since done on the pitch proves I was right. His approach is perfect. He could’ve run into trouble at the start, but wiped all that out and is really helping the team.”

Inzaghi took the praise for Menez to a new level and joked: “I intend to marry him! He is a generous lad and from the first few days made me realise he was important, so I gave him the opportunity he was craving.

“He’d like to play at Euro 2016 for France. If he continues like this, he will do.”
