Manchester, England – E be like say Kobbie Mainoo don vex for Manchester United as e dey plan to bounce after dem push am to the sidelines. This young midfielder don’t play any minute for the team this season and na dem promotion wey we dey call ‘first choice’ don turn to ‘substitute’ as he come back from injury last December. Wetin happen?
Mainoo sabi pack his bags if correct offer come, but the market dey hot like jollof rice for mat and him no dey find plenty options before the transfer window close on Monday. Last summer, this guy don shine bright as he score for United during FA Cup final wey dem win against Manchester City. But now, the road no clear as e don dey struggle under Ruben Amorim, wey talk say Mainoo dey compete with Bruno Fernandes for midfield position. Talk about bad timing!
United figure say dem fit let Mainoo go if correct cash show, but dem dey wonder why no club don make serious move for the 20-year-old. Amorim no wan use am for his 3-4-3 formation, as he dey reason say the academy product no get wetin e take to be top choice for central midfield. Halima, wetin una dey call this kind wahala?
Na only Mainoo dey look for exit door. Alejandro Garnacho also don dey hear say he suppose find new club, and dem talk say Chelsea don dey eye am, but dem valuation no dey jive. United want £50m, while Club World Cup winners dey value am £35m but na negotiation wey go hard pass Waec exam.
United dey fear say if dem sell Fernandes, wey fit still become target for Saudi Arabian club after Al-Hilal don drop £100m offer last spring, dem fit use that money pursue Carlos Baleba. Brighton no go gree make dem waka enter their yard unless dem come with big cash. No be small tension.
If we talk about Chelsea, dem wan gather four wingers for their squad and Garnacho dey compete with Jamie Gittens. Tyrique George don get Roma interest and e dey prepare to jam ground. Chelsea still dey think say Garnacho pass Xavi Simons wey dey RB Leipzig. But na who know if dem fit find buyer for Christopher Nkunku wey everybody dey follow like prophet?
As e be now, Major players like Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, and Axel Disasi dey also eye transfer, while Carney Chukwuemeka don already land for Dortmund. Some clubs dey eye Sterling like hungry hawks.
All dis back and forth fit make Mainoo to catch any of these moves wey fit turn his career around sharp sharp. Will he stay and fight for hin place or go for fresh pastures? Only time go tell as the transfer window dey draw close.
