“He’s agreed to join Manchester United, but I just want him to know… he won’t be lifting trophies anymore.”
That was Pep Guardiola’s blunt reaction after missing out on a €99 million-rated striker — a player both Manchester giants were fighting for. Despite City’s dominant appeal and Guardiola’s own interest, the forward opted for Old Trafford, declaring:
“I’ve been a Manchester United fan all my life. That’s where I belong.”
The transfer is now complete, personal terms signed, and a medical underway — marking a huge win for Erik ten Hag’s rebuild with a marquee striker now on board.
Pep’s Frustration Boils Over
Known for staying quiet on failed pursuits, Guardiola didn’t hold back this time:
“He’s gifted. Yes, I wanted him. But if it’s trophies you want — you already know which side of Manchester delivers.”
More Than Just a Signing
This deal symbolizes a battle of philosophies:
United: Passion, tradition, and a mission to restore glory.
City: Ruthless efficiency and consistent silverware.
The striker’s decision to join United over the reigning champions is seen as a bold challenge — and Guardiola’s comments only intensify the spotlight.
Who’s the Player?
While no name is confirmed yet, speculation suggests it could be Victor Osimhen, Dusan Vlahović, or Benjamin Šeško. Manchester United are expected to make an official announcement soon.
What It Means:
* United secure a top-class striker for their future
* City suffer a rare blow in the transfer race
* The rivalry between Guardiola and Amorim just escalated
This isn’t just football anymore — it’s war. And United just fired the latest shot.
