Chicago, Illinois – No be small matter as Manchester United fans dey wait for Bryan Mbeumo make hin first appearance for the club this Saturday against Everton. The match go happen for Atlanta, and e dey come after some serious ginger for the summer transfer market. But wahala no dey far today o, as dem still dey chase RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko like say na hot jollof rice dem dey pursue!
Mbeumo join the Red Devils alongside Matheus Cunha inthe midst of United’s hefty £130 million summer shopping spree. But no be joke o, him debut don delay make hin fit catch up with hin new padi dem wey don dey train since. You fit imagine say Brentford start their pre-season training one week later! Even Amorim don talk say Mbeumo go play, and him dey excited to see wetin Mbeumo fit bring to the squad (we go just dey hope say e no go flop for hin first game, sha).
Wetin dey surprise people be say, despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe don talk say the club fit ‘go bust’ if no serious cuts happen before December, United still find neck for money matter to splash. Sources dey talk say na because of Rashford’s salary being bankrolled during hin loan to Barcelona and some sell-on clauses wey don activate that make dem fit dey spend all this cash.
No forget say United still dey try get Sesko, but recent reports don drop for Slovenia say the boy don pick Newcastle. E no go too dey surprising if e choose dem, but make we see who go finally win this battle of the strikers.
Meanwhile, for the goalkeeper department, it don dey clear say Andre Onana go still hold hin position as first choice. The Cameroonian has been taking hin fitness seriously after he injure him hamstring about the time pre-season start. Though e no go fit play against Everton, fans dey pray say he fit join the squad against Fiorentina on August 9, where dem go face off with former United keeper David de Gea (you know say reunion fit bring some sweet drama ehn).
Amorim don talk say dem dey look for ways to improve the team, but e no easy at all! Players dey fit go, and new ones dey come. Some suspicion dey about who fit leave the club, with guys like Garnacho and Antony on the market. Hojlund’s future dey shaky too, as dem dey chop the market everywhere!
For potential new signings, na Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko dey top the list. United no get decision yet, but dem don dey explore how much each deal go cost. Aston Villa dey hold Watkins tight like say e be diamond, but United dey optimistic say dem fit bring am in for around £40 million – no be like wetin dem dey demand from Arsenal before sha!
Watkins don score 75 goals in 184 Premier League games, meaning say e don show say e fit handle the league well. Plus him don dey gel well with Mbeumo from dem time wey dem dey for Brentford, talk say chemistry dey intact. But Sesko? E no be small fish o! Dem talk say to get am go run to around £70 million, and that one still dey hot!
So, as the action dey unfold, we dey ready to see who go come out top in this striker chase! United fans, get your popcorn ready, because this transfer window go sweet pass pepper soup!
