Manchester United should be ready to pay a staggering £200 million ($265m) transfer fee to sign Cole Palmer from Chelsea, Scott Sinclair has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the England international remains one of the Premier League’s elite talents despite his underwhelming season hampered by fitness issues, so MUFC must be prepared to pay top money.
He, however, added that failing to secure Champions League football could force the playmaker to consider his future at Stamford Bridge.
His words, “Cole Palmer is a quality player and we all know his attributes. It’s about finding him, getting him on the ball, facing forward to attack players, and creating. For me, he’s a player who can change a game in an instant. When he gets forward and he’s on it, he’s a top player.
His links to Man Utd? I’m not sure. From the outside, I think he seems happy enough and is enjoying his football. We just need to get that top, top level form back. I don’t think he’d be looking elsewhere.
If Chelsea don’t make the Champions League spot, then that’s up to him to decide. But Chelsea is a massive club and I don’t think any player would want to leave.
He’s a top player, probably one of the best in the Premier League. I’m sure that sort of price tag, maybe £200 million, will come along. He’s contracted and signed a long deal, so only time will tell.”
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.
