Manchester United’s Precious Gems: Keep or Cash In?…
Ryan Giggs has weighed in with some heartfelt advice for Manchester United concerning their young stars. According to the legend himself, it’s “really important” to keep promising players like Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo before clubs like Napoli and Chelsea come with their big wads of cash. Picture this: Napoli already tried snagging Garnacho in January, while Mainoo’s contract coffee talks have been hitting as many snags as a cat chasing a laser.
Now, United’s a bit like a kid at a candy shop with only a fiver. Thanks to Profit and Sustainability rules, no player is unsellable these days. Yeah, even those academy kids might have price tags, as clubs need to balance the books like accountants with a penchant for adrenaline. But hey, they’re holding the fort for now and playing it cool.
Giggs, who practically grew roots at United with 963 appearances, shared his wisdom like a sage at a Foundation 92 dinner. “It’s super important to keep these kids,” he declared, eyebrows arching higher than a David de Gea save. The mantra? Keep ’em coming to the field and maybe, just maybe, show those silver-haired veterans what being a Red Devil is all about—besides the hair-dye bills. Not just for United, but for club cultures everywhere. After all, fans love a homegrown hero, and Giggs knows that better than anyone.
