Manager Ruben Amorim talked about the attraction that Man United still has during the summer, has shot down all the rumors that Cunha and Mbeumo joined the club due to the money offered.
“Cunha and Bryan, they had different solutions [offers]. They had champions League offers. And they wanted to come here. People who say they come here because of money … It’s a lie. That I know with certainty. So I’m really happy with that. “”
It also goes without saying that the Red Devils rarely had trouble convincing the players to join the club when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge. United was at the top of the food chain in English football at this stage and even attracted Rio Ferdinand from Rivals Leeds United in 2002.

As revealed by the Grand Bryan Robson, Ferguson and Eric Cantona both pleaded with Jude Bellingham to join Man United in 2020, before finally rejecting the club in favor of a move of 25 million pounds Sterling to Borussia Dortmund. Given how things have proven to be, it is difficult to blame the midfielder for refusing the Red Devils.
“You know, I was disappointed because I myself, Sir Alex and Eric Cantona all met Jude when he spoke to United, and we therefore thought that we probably obtained it because of this meeting with the three of us in Carrington.
“I was really disappointed when he went to Germany but the child did good. I mean, he did it at the highest level with Real Madrid and he is a leading player.”
