According to Dutch football reporter, Mike Verweij, Manchester United would be the idea destination for Ajax striker Brian Brobbey.
The journalist was speaking to Dutch outlet Soccernews when he revealed his thoughts on United being exactly the type of club that could interest in 21-year-old for the next step of his career.
It probably helps that there would be so many familiar faces at United since his former manager Erik ten Hag, who gave him his Ajax debut, has brought several players to Old Trafford from Amsterdam.
Brobbey is having a decent season in front of goal for Ajax, too. The 21-year-old has scored 12 goals in 24 matches across all competitions.
A recent report from The Mirror stated that Ten Hag is already starting to think about attacking reinforcements ahead of next season, with Brobbey being one name on the club’s radar. The striker has also been linked with a move to Arsenal.
Verweij went on record to claim: “After Ajax, Brobbey does not want to go to the absolute top, but just below the top. Then Manchester United would be a very good one at the moment.”
That seems to be either a dig at United or Ten Hag, but it’s one that we will let go under the radar because it has been such a torrid campaign for the Reds.
The reporter added: “That also seems very sensible to me. If a club like Real Madrid were to come, I do think he would say yes, but he has it in his head that the absolute top might not be a very good idea yet.”
Let us know in the comments section if you would like to see United sign Brobbey this month or in the summer.
