MARSHALL Munetsi’s Paris FC have now gone EIGHT games without defeat after their impressive 3-1 away win over Metz in their latest France Ligue 1 game at the weekend.
The Zimbabwean midfielder was an unused substitute during the win, which followed their stunning 4-1 win over Monaco.
Paris FC are now in 10th place on the table, 13 points away from relegation, and have momentum going into the business end of the season.
While Paris FC will be safe, if they maintain their form, Munetsi’s parent club, Wolves, are set to end their eight-year stay in the English Premiership.
Wolves would have been relegated at the weekend had Tottenham, who are also struggling, not conceded a last-gasp equaliser.
A win for Spurs, who are also fighting relegation, would have condemned Wolves into the Championship.
Wolves were well beaten by Leeds United, which was their 22nd loss of the season.
The current scenario appears to favour Munetsi staying at Paris FC instead of returning to England to play in the Championship with Wolves.
The Zimbabwe international joined Les Parisiens to aid their bid to stave off relegation back to French Ligue 2.
He has been key to Antoine Kombouaré’s side edging away from the relegation places, with his four goals in 11 games in Ligue 1 guiding Paris FC slowly up the table.
“I feel good here alongside some players that I know. We get on well and you see that on the pitch. You can’t buy this atmosphere; it’s there, or it isn’t. I came for six months and I am focused on the six games remaining.
“We will see what discussions are had at the end of the season. There is a great project here.
“My family like it here in Paris. My two boys were born in France. It is also my country a bit,” said Munetsi
