Bryan Mbeumo has decided he wants to join Manchester United.

His thought process must be, "I've just had my best season in the Prem, I know what's next. How to start my decline as a professional footballer." Newcastle would have been his perfect fit. You need to fire your agent ASAP

abpow.bsky.social•20 days ago

guess he wants his midweeks off

prestonpanacea.bsky.social•20 days ago

Good luck with that!

hindumonkey.bsky.social•20 days ago

@fplfrasier.bsky.social be calm

Be. Calm.

fplfrasier.bsky.social•19 days ago

Haha. I am taking all the credit here.

andydaly.bsky.social•20 days ago

These players know the score. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

noaholoya.bsky.social•20 days ago

Or maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, every team in the top 7 already has a RW who'd start over him. Even Spurs do. It was literally his only choice if he wanted out of Brentford. Not saying it's not a good signing, but it's not like he has a bunch of options.

ferventix.bsky.social•19 days ago

This is some gullible nostalgic bullshit.

There is something deeply wrong with this club, and selling more shirts ain't gonna fix it.

andydaly.bsky.social•19 days ago

There is something deeply wrong with this club, yes. The ownership - i.e. the Glazers. However, the club has been around since 1878 and will also be around long after the current owners have gone.

Knowledge is power, France is bacon.

rich03.bsky.social•20 days ago

Porridge is Knowledge. Kevin is bacon.

ferventix.bsky.social•19 days ago

Anyone joining United should arrive with an ambition to fix whatever is wrong with the club, because something is deeply wrong.

Not with some deluded hope of winning trophies.

andrewwilkie.bsky.social•20 days ago

In all seriousness, why would any professional footballer think that joining United is a good idea?

noaholoya.bsky.social•20 days ago

Where else is he gonna go where he'd be in the first team? It was stay or take the pay rise at United.

gabrieltussini.bsky.social•20 days ago

They can't get worse. Getting worse would mean getting relegated, something i highly doubt would happen

So nothing to lose playing for a big club, for big money, which can only get better, at least slightly

virginianx.bsky.social•20 days ago

Because it's one of the biggest clubs in the world and steeped in tradition

ferventix.bsky.social•19 days ago

I guess if you ignore the past 12 years.

imcalvin.bsky.social•20 days ago

That's all well and good but if everyone who goes there has severe damage done to their reputation and value as a player, I probably wouldn't be too keen on them as a destination. Their huge fan base isn't a positive if they all hate you

therealsduffy.bsky.social•19 days ago

So you go to a lesser club for one guaranteed season of European football? Or you join the biggest club for 4 or 5 years?

jadaphoenix.bsky.social•20 days ago

Cos they’ll pay him 200k a week…

rj-travel.bsky.social•20 days ago

And how much does he get paid for this? It's all about the cash, not the kick.

pizzanobone.bsky.social•20 days ago

a brilliant player retiring so early is a shame. and gtech currently a better place to go than old trafford

husshunter.bsky.social•20 days ago

Some salty, salty replies here.

sws1972.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hated, adored and all that…..

therealjlacy.bsky.social•19 days ago

There’s a sucker in every team

streamedhams.bsky.social•20 days ago

scraping the barrel

williamvalkeaoja.bsky.social•20 days ago

No I’m sure he’s got plenty of offers.

streamedhams.bsky.social•20 days ago

he has outperformed his xg for one season and underperformed it the three before that… we will overpay for him based on one anomalous season as is the united way

virginianx.bsky.social•20 days ago

You are not paying anything.

streamedhams.bsky.social•20 days ago

i pay to watch them be awful

onepablo.bsky.social•20 days ago

williamvalkeaoja.bsky.social•20 days ago

That’s definitely the case yeah 🙂

antikrish.bsky.social•20 days ago

Be positive.

streamedhams.bsky.social•20 days ago

lol id rather be good

mywayorthe.bsky.social•20 days ago

Good player. Will he be able to handle the pressure at Utd and replicate last seasons form? We’ll see.

iaindowie.bsky.social•20 days ago

anyone saying it's anything to do with the £200k a week on offer is a cynic.

codeblackdirective.bsky.social•20 days ago

😅

claytona07.bsky.social•19 days ago

That's not how it works.
Ok then, I have decided I want to join Manchester United

thistimesurely.bsky.social•19 days ago

Out of interest, how does it work then?

claytona07.bsky.social•19 days ago

I know nothing of his background or context so I assumed from the headline he just woke up one morning and said, I fancy playing for United.
I always thought the buying club (or the player's agent) instigated a transfer.

thistimesurely.bsky.social•19 days ago

He’s evidently been approached by several clubs. He’s seemingly decided from those discussions he wants to join United.

claytona07.bsky.social•19 days ago

Ok thanks

fino76.bsky.social•19 days ago

It is exactly ‘how it works’ if 4 clubs -including United- have contacted your agent and asked about your availability.

runcorn.bsky.social•20 days ago

Another promising career about to be ruined

sandandsea.bsky.social•20 days ago

I think you’ve misspelled City.

deeceebee72.bsky.social•20 days ago

hopefully low rent Romano got his nice cut of some agent cash like the guy he wants to be

thelovingpalms.bsky.social•19 days ago

If Mbeumo was signing for any of the other clubs the jokers on this thread support he’d be hailed as excellent acquisition for their team. It’s pure unadulterated jealousy 😆

lizmgreene.bsky.social•20 days ago

Complete madness.
