United’s potential selling slip-ups emerge…
Manchester United may be playing a game of hot potato with Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, risking another round of red-faced regret if they sell them this weekend. It’s like they’re at an auction, enthusiastically giving away hidden treasures while looking for sunflower seeds in the bargain bin. A glance at past transfers, like Scott McTominay’s transformation into Napoli’s glittering gem in Serie A, shows the danger of shipping off talent only to watch them sparkle elsewhere. Erik ten Hag’s prior praise for Mainoo as the ‘perfect midfielder’ could soon manifest, proving the art critic right once more.
Mainoo dreams on the sidelines for now, yearning to play despite Ruben Amorim’s curious reluctance, while Garnacho seems ready to tango over to Chelsea, leaving United with as many regrets as a cat who turned away a laser pointer. Garnacho, forever hailed by Ten Hag, finds himself out of favor, perhaps due to past antics akin to a mischief-loving bat who can’t resist flapping its wings in the wrong cave. With the potential for a £40m move, the fear is that another United gem may shine brightest only once it’s out of their hands, lighting up the market like a fireworks show scheduled for a rainy day.
