Manchester United surprised me. They signed Brendford's Cameroonian midfielder, Mbeumo, for €75 million.
The player signed a five-year contract.
He scored 20 goals and provided eight assists for Brendford last year, but he was doing it for Brendford.
He's so young, but I'm not sure this is the player Manchester United are really looking for.
I'm curious why they spent €75 million on a player like Osimhen. He's such a young, high-quality striker.
I can't understand what the Manchester transfer committee was thinking when they made this transfer.
Past transfer debacles have changed me this way.
manchester united is a world brand in raising expectations and making fiasco transfers. in the past they have bought players for that kind of money, sometimes even more, and the player didn't deliver what they wanted. pogba, lukaku, maguire and many more examples.
i think they will never change their transfer policy because i don't think they have a financial problem. if they did they wouldn't be so comfortable paying more than 70 million pounds for a player.
there are also some players who have paid a lot of money and have been successful. for instance bruno fernandes or casemiro are examples. but i think manchester united's success rate in high cost transfers is very low.
