Three years later, a tweet from Manchester United from 2020 has gained popularity, most likely because it captures the sentiment of all the transfers made by the Reds that fell short of expectations.
A picture of Donny van de Beek is posted along with the remark, “Some men just look born to play for United. We believe we’ve located one.
After this was published, the majority of supporters praised the new acquisition and urged United to choose Jadon Sancho. Imagine the year 2023: Sancho is there, saying that club executives have “scapegoated” him, Donny is not present with the team, and the tone of the supporters’ responses is entirely different.
Darker Skinn: “It’s time we stopped signing players of average quality.”
“Played less than 20% of the four seasons he was here, and now he has been completely dropped from the squad,” said Chief Nomso.
Buike_042: “Sad ending, it seems.”
Private Figure: “Found him, signed him, then ruined his career.”
In the words of SeewhyChels, “Born to play for Sheffield United lmao.”
“Is this madness or insanity?” asked YusufJamiuOpey1.
Bruno Fernandes ponders: “How did it come to this? You had obligations to fulfill.
Van de Beek has featured in just 60 games for Man United in all competitions since his arrival, along with 7 appearances while on loan at Everton. Despite the Dutchman’s strong preseason performance, he is yet to appear in the current season and wasn’t selected for the Champions League group stage team.
