Aston Villa legend Gabriel Agbonlahor has vowed to move countries if Manchester United sign Ollie Watkins this summer. He recently revealed that MUFC signing the prolific goalscorer would surely hurt him.
Reports have said that the Villa are reportedly eyeing a move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin in case Watkins leaves the club.
Reacting, Agbonlahor disclosed that Aston Villa wouldn’t dare agree to such a deal, especially if the club is looking to sign free agent Calvert-Lewin as his replacement.
According to him, he’ll be very hurt if Watkins’ move to MUFC eventually happens because Ollie has been a very crucial player for Aston Villa.
“Why you lying for? Don’t lie. Don’t you dare, don’t you dare. Who put that in there? You think you’re going to take Watkins and we’re going to get Calvert-Lewin?
No way, I’d move countries. Because Man United, of all clubs, taking Ollie Watkins would really hurt me,” he said.
After signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo from Wolves and Brentford, respectively, Ruben Amorim is currently trying to add a new No.9 to his squad and further bolster the attack.
The Red Devils have narrowed their striker search to two candidates: Aston Villa’s Watkins and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
