Manchester United were associated with the worst deadline day deals in the recent history of the club.
Romelu Lukaku had reportedly by his own admisstion made up his mind to leave the club in March, 2019. This means United had a little over 10 months to scout a replacement striker.
In the end of it all, after Ole’s disastrous performances as boss and fake optimisim to the media to misguide the United faithful, proof of the scam came when they signed Odion Ighalo, a striker banished by PL.
However, another man who was in competition with Ighalo and very close to sealing a transfer to United was Josh King
“I have to be a little careful about what I am saying here,” King told Norwegian outlet TV2. “A small part of me believed it could happen, and of course it was a bit emotional for me considering I had moved to England as a 16-year old to try and fulfil my dreams and to achieve my goals.
“I aimed to do so at Manchester United, and when it didn’t happen I made a choice and left.
“And when you hear after all that, that you are linked with Manchester United and that there was an offer on the table, then of course the same feelings you had as a 16-year old come back to you.”
