🥹💬 Wayne Rooney’s message to Kobbie Mainoo [via @BBCSport]:
“Hi Kobbie, just a quick message to say good luck at the World Cup. Just be yourself and you’ll be a star there mate.
“Also, how you’ve handled everything this season has been a lesson to all young football players, a great example to young and old players.
“And finally, you might not see, but having two lads in the United Academy, you should realise you are an inspiration to them and to the young lads there. Keep doing what you are doing, be yourself.
“Much love, Wazza.” #MUFC
Manchester United have played this brilliantly with Elliot Anderson. It is apparent they had moved on from him for a while once they knew the ridiculous asking price, but have stayed in it long enough to force City into paying full freight & break the transfer record for him anyway.
Better yet, Marinakis could go completely insane, rejects all bids & then draws it out so he ends up staying at Forest. Now United just have to go finish the job by finding far better value in the market, sign Mateus Fernandes & make their money stretch far better than this deal.
Comes a point where the juice isn’t worth the squeeze & we are well past that.
It’s not that he is too critical.
It’s how he’s constantly negative about us.
It’s about the fact he lied about Bruno and hasn’t apologised.
The fact he is now business partners with MARK GOLDBRIDGE.
Get with reality and out of your bubble, Gary.
Mitoma, Ferguson, and Baleba all missed/missing out on big moves cause of nonsense like this.
Huijsen’s the smartest guy for putting a £50m release clause cause we all know Bournemouth would’ve asked for £90m
Signed for United & going to the World Cup a week later…. United juice is just different.
You could still make it in time if you get a move on tonight @LewisHall
Manchester United, time to move on. Mateus Fernandes is next in, then it's Lewis Hall & Aurelien Tchouameni, Alex Scott, Carlos Baleba or a mystery 3rd CM in the door, a LW, ST & CB.
Elliot Anderson has to stay at Forest thanks to Marinakis.
Manifest.
