“I can’t go against my client’s wish” – Agent of £80m World Cup Hero confirms Manchester United switch despite pay cut!
In a sensational transfer twist, Manchester United have won the race for one of the most coveted players in world football, despite stiff competition and bigger financial packages from Premier League rivals. The agent of the £80m-rated World Cup hero has officially confirmed that his client has agreed to join United on a four-year deal—turning down lucrative offers from Liverpool and Chelsea.
Speaking in a revealing interview, the agent admitted:
“We had very good offers from Liverpool and Chelsea, but my client told me he only wants a move to Manchester United. The money United are offering is far smaller than what the other clubs put on the table, but I can’t go against my client’s wish. His heart is already in Old Trafford.”
This shock revelation proves that passion and desire to wear the famous Red Devils shirt has outweighed financial temptation. The player—already regarded as a World Cup hero for his unforgettable performances on the grandest stage—has chosen footballing history and the chance to revive a sleeping giant over short-term riches.
United’s Bold Statement
United have been under pressure to make a statement signing after a shaky start under Rúben Amorim. With fans demanding ambition, the arrival of a player of this stature, even on a reduced salary, is proof that the club’s pull remains one of the strongest in the game.
The deal, which is expected to be officially announced in the coming days, will see the star pen a four-year contract at Old Trafford. The fact that he accepted a pay cut to join further endears him to United supporters, who are desperate to see warriors fight for the badge again.
Rejected Chelsea and Liverpool
Chelsea were prepared to offer a bumper wage package to lure the player to Stamford Bridge, while Liverpool saw him as a key piece in their new era under Arne Slot. Yet, the player’s determination to wear the red of Manchester United left his agent with no choice but to honour his decision.
The agent’s words highlight the emotional side of football that often gets lost in today’s market:
“For my client, it was never about money. He wants to be part of United’s project, he wants to be a leader, and he believes he can write his name in the history of the club.”
A Turning Point for United?
The arrival of this £80m World Cup hero could be the moment that sparks United’s revival. Fans across the globe are already buzzing on social media, praising the player’s loyalty and ambition. Some have gone as far as calling him the “signing of the decade,” even before he has kicked a ball at Old Trafford.
For Amorim, this signing is a major boost. It not only strengthens his squad but also shows that the biggest players still want to come to United—even if itmeans earning less money.
