Portuguese soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo officially joined Vincent Aboubacar at Al-Nassr, on December 30. If everyone thinks that the two players will form a hell of a duo in the attack of the Saudi club, rumors of a possible transfer of the Cameroonian striker to Manchester United, during this mercato, are being heralded since last Sunday.
Author of a good African Cup of Nations in 2022, finishing top scorer of the tournament and a fairly satisfactory World Cup (two goals), Vincent Aboubakar would be in the sights of Manchester United. According to the Daily Mail last Sunday, the Cameroonian would be very interested in the Red Devils' leaders, following the termination of the contract of the Portuguese legend, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Aboubacar-Ronaldo, the crossroads?
The United are looking for a striker to replace Ronaldo, who became an official player of Al-Nassr since December 30. The Daily Mail has advanced the option Vincent Aboubakar, last Sunday. According to the same source, the 30-year-old striker would be available on loan, which is exactly the type of recruitment desired by MU, which wants to strengthen its attack during this mercato.
Author of a satisfactory performance at the World Cup 2022, the Cameroonian proved to the whole world his qualities of a finisher. This is probably what attracted the attention of Erik Ten Hag, the coach of Manchester United. The top scorer of the 2022 African Cup of Nations (eight goals) has scored four goals and provided two assists this season with his club. If the rumors about the transfer of Vincent Aboubakar to Man United are true, he and the Portuguese would replace each other in their former clubs. An operation that would be reminiscent of Odion Ighalo, a transfer that nobody saw coming
Very little play time since the beginning of the season at Man U, CR7 has lived the worst period of his career in his club football history. When the Portuguese made his return to the Mancunians in 2021, it was with the intention of supporting his former club. Unfortunately for him, everything did not go as planned. Less than a year after his return, the 37-year-old player already wanted to leave the Red Devils, who were to play in the Europa League, for a club in the Champions League. This arm wrestling with the club's leaders is the reason for the departure of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, six months later. But, the misfortune of some is necessarily the happiness of others because it could reopen the door to Europe for Vincent Aboubakar, the incredible striker of the Indomitable Lions.
