Erik ten Hag complete transfer for £20m superstar Ajax striker who once snubbed Man Utd

Erik ten Hag wants to seal the deal for the £20 million prize-winning Ajax striker who once turned down Manchester United.
Brian Brobbery, the front man for Ajax, is being considered by Manchester United. He turned down a transfer to Old Trafford in order to return to Ajax in the summer.

Manchester United is interested in Dutch international Brian Brobbey. However, the striker has disclosed that he previously turned down a huge offer to move to Old Trafford in order to rejoin Ajax.

21-year-old Brobbey is having a great time back in Amsterdam following a terrible stint with RB Leipzig in Germany.

However, he has stated that after the Bundesliga team stated they would consider offers for the player in the summer of 2022, Erik ten Hag, the manager of the Reds, wanted to bring him to United.

The forward was first granted permission by the Bundesliga team to return to Ajax on loan in January of the previous year. After determining the player was no longer needed, United was prepared to pay Leipzig’s £16 million asking price for him; however, Brobbey chose to pursue happiness over money.

‘In talks’ for first managerial position after leaving Manchester United is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Ten Hag may have his target this time around as he looks to add goals to his struggling team. It has been suggested that the strong forward is still on his radar.

“My agent would receive millions of euros at United, and I could make multiples of my Ajax salary,” Brobbey recalled telling Erik ten Hag over the phone. But our decision was clear: we wanted to go to Ajax.

“I insisted on going back to Ajax, even though Manchester United wanted to have me.” My agent Jose Fortes Rodriguez even waived a sizable portion of the sell-on clause to make that possible.

Even though Brobbey is rejoining an Ajax team that has had difficulty all season, he is predicted to lead Holland’s strike force at the Euros.

When Ten Hag managed the Eredivisie club at Ajax, he gave him his Ajax debut. However, Brobbey relocated to Leipzig when his contract ended in the summer of 2021.

It was a grave error. “Ajax assured me that no new striker would be added, and then all of a sudden there was Sebastien Haller, the most expensive acquisition ever,” he remarked. It didn’t even bother me all that much. But I was upset to hear that I would essentially not be able to play.

Then, Julian Nagelsmann’s story was so compelling that, to be honest, I believed I would play a part in Leipzig. Nagelsmann and Markus Krosche, the technical director who had hired me, had left the team even before the season began.

But Brobbey might be enticed to relocate to United in order to reunite with Ten Hag.
