opes:Bro at the end the cost or afcon isn't the issue. That's what we talking about. Manu didn't just want a good striker |

frog12:Lol Someone finally said it ![]() The clubs in England,simply did not want to pay Osimhen the large wages he believed he deserved. So they all shut him out. The End Forget all these false narratives about Afcon,his "bad" attitude (Diego Costa at Athletico anyone? Yet Chelsea still signed him) his first touch is bad,he misses chances etc. It all boils down to the large wages issue. English clubs all said "Mbanu!" |

What Bennie McCarthy said isn't 100% true but it was partially bcus of it. That trend didn't start today, it started right from Fergie days. Fergie never like signing African players bcus of this same Afcon, and even when he eventually signed some like Quitone Fortune, Eric Djemba Djemba and Manucho. They were all fringe players and not main team players, so weren't always missed when they attend the Afcon. . Some people mentioned several clubs who had African players always going to the Afcon, and the question is how many of those clubs could afford more than one at a time going to the Afcon. It's only Chelsea that always had multiple African players going to the Afcon, and Chelsea could do so at the time bcus of Abramovic deep pockets of buying dozens of players at will with no interference of financial fair play. Man United already had Amad who at the time they signed him hadn't decided to play for Ivory Coast, they took the risk by adding Mbeumo who was needed bcus of his epl proven record, and you want them to add Osimhen to it thereby losing 3 key players for a month. We all know how much the lost of just Mbeumo and Amad cost United. . Now lets rewind back, Chelsea used to buy African players without minding the Afcon bcus of Abramovic deep pockets. Since he sold the club and FFP came to play, has that been happening again. How many African players has since played for Chelsea since over 5 or 6yrs ago since Abramovic exit. Now lets come back to the main issue. Among the big 6 in epl, it's only Man United that has 3 players that went to the Afcon, Liverpool had only one and Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Spurs had none. Spurs bought Kudus knowing full well Ghana didn't qualify for the Afcon. Like I said earlier, McCarthy's suggestion wasn't entirely why but it was part of it couple with either Osimhen's high wage demand or attitude. So it's not only Man United that thought of that, other big epl clubs are thinking about the Afcon too. But in my final submission I think Osimhen's snub by the big clubs was bcus of his attitude and not bcus of his wages. The clubs especially Chelsea who offered Osimhen a ridiculous offer just used that wages as an excuse. My ten cent opinion |

Urgent1Million:Who and who is talking about him, McCarthy has now turn they, no doubt Osimhen may have done something huge we can't say. But the biggest lost goes to Osimhen cus Man United would have propel his name higher than it's now |

femi4:I'm not doubting that, but I am answering your talk of it's bcus we didn't sign him that's why we are where we are, then I said what of Arsenal and Chelsea that also went for him but didn't sign him, did it make them to be or not to be where they are now? |
| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by Ojagun(m): 3:34pm On Feb 27 |
Kalulu44:Lol You clearly dont know the English.Osimhen not playing in England is a blessing in disguise. If he were to be playing at Man U for example this season and earning over 300k as wages,if he were to have 3 chances in a game and miss 2,the English would moan and moan and moan and moan about Osimhen scamming English clubs until they would pursue him out of their league |

Why was Salah, Mane and other big stars signed then, stop giving the clubs excuses, and stop psyching African players up not to want to show up for their countries. |

What a lame excuse 😠 |

Osimhen must be very happy in Turkey where he has to threaten strike action before he can be paid his wages😂 Benjamin Sesko is younger and better than Osimhen and he is more level headed. femi4: |

IgOga:We are well aware. Imagine depending on ur striker then lose him to afcon for a mnth. It's a hard pill to swallow. |

So Amad and Mbuemo didn't participate in Afcon ![]() |

Ojagun:Lolz! It's you I should be laughing at. If he comes and he flops, who's to blame, him or the press. To whom much is giving much is expected. If he comes, he should keep them quiet with his performance. But my initial take on his lost is about his image which would have been huge by just wearing that United shirt. Let me give you an example. Are you still hearing the names of Garnacho, Sancho and Rashford loudly like when they were still in United. Garnacho and Sancho has totally gone quiet while Rashford is still help a little bcus of Barca but not still as pronounced as when he was in United. That's the power and popularity of Man United. |

| Re: Why Man United Did Not Sign Osimhen — Benni Mccarthy by ogascomax: 4:56pm On Feb 27 |

Kalulu44:Right from when Osimhen was about to win the Italian league with Napoli and there were murmurs about him moving to England, fans from the top teams in that country have always had negative vibes towards Osimhen because they knew he would cost alot of money and his wages would be high.Those fans (they were many and still are) simply did not want such huge sums to be spent on Osimhen. Personally,i believe Osimhen has moved on from that whole situation but Nigerian fans of those English clubs especially haven't.Osimhen is earning millions (over 21 million euros after tax a season),he controls his image rights,he is adored by his club's fanbase and despite playing in a league that is not popular,still manages to remain relevant in world football discourse. The world of club football does not begin & end with English club sides |
