Former Manchester United defender, Marnick Vermijl, has said that he was fed up with professional football.<\/p>\n

The former Red Devils defender said that for this reason, he started working as a postman.<\/p>\n

Vermijl revealed that he developed an interest in becoming a postman because football had become tiresome.<\/p>\n

Vermijl, a product of Red Devils academy, played for the club\u2019s U-18 before being promoted to the senior team in 2012.<\/p>\n

He ended up playing just two games for Manchester United first team before he was sold to Sheffield Wednesday in 2015.<\/p>\n

He now plays for Belgian side, Thes Sport, a club he joined in 2020.<\/p>\n

According to Manchester Evening News, Vermijl said he now spends his time between playing for Thes Sport and being a postman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was fed up with professional football,\u201d he said, adding that depending on the managers and coaches was also a big factor.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a postman I have to get up at four o\u2019clock, but now I am home around noon and can pick up the children from school every day. That is a luxury.\u201d<\/p>\n
