The Old Trafford Dream Quest…
Once again, the Red Devils of Old Trafford have launched themselves into the wacky world of transfer deals with more fervor than a toddler in a candy shop. Manchester United’s latest football treasure hunt involves none other than Brentford’s superstar sprinter, Bryan Mbeumo. It’s as if they’ve found the golden snitch of football in their relentless pursuit. The club management is hoping to wrap Mbeumo in a red jersey well before they start practicing their pre-season samba dance on July 7.
They’ve already brought home Matheus Cunha, who was pried away from Wolves for a cool ÂŁ62.5 million. Now, they’re looking to add more fireworks to their roster as they gear up to tackle Leeds United over in chilly Stockholm. And if that wasn’t enough, the Reds will pack their football boots and shades to jet off to the land of giant burgers and bald eagles, AKA the USA, for some Premier League Summer Series shenanigans. Juggling balls and dollar bills, they’ve upped their bid for Mbeumo to ÂŁ62.5 million, but Brentford’s buzzing brass aren’t giving in, hoping for a bit more cheddar.
Famed football scribbler Fabrizio Romano’s Instagram was hotter than a goalie’s gloves during a penalty shootout, as eager fans double tapped to the tune of 413,000 likes. Among the looky-loos were United players Matheus Cunha and Joshua Zirkzee—probing like penguins with smartphones. Meanwhile, Mbeumo’s been whispering sweet Old Trafford nothings to both Brentford and Tottenham, causing Spurs to shed a tear or two. Former Brentford boss Thomas ‘Mucho’ Frank cautioned that selling Mbeumo would require the ransom of a dragon’s hoard, all while cautiously nibbling his Danish pastry.
