Do you know this Ghanaian striker rejected Erik Ten Hag’s offer to join Manchester United? Click for more details
Dutch-born Ghanaian forward Brian Brobbey has revealed that Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag approached him to join his Red Devils side.
However, the 20-year-old has disclosed that he turned down the offer, insisting he wants to continue growing at the Johan Cryuff Arena in Amsterdam.
During an interview with Voetbal International he shared updates about the conversation with his former boss.
“I absolutely wanted to go to Ajax. Erik also wanted to work with me, texted once if I was open to it, but I thanked him nicely. I wanted to go back. My friends here, Ajax’s playing style, it just wasn’t finished yet,” he told Voetbal International.
Brobbey has started two of Ajax’s three Eredivisie games so far this season, coming off the bench on the opening day. He inspired a comeback against Fortuna Sittard in that match, scoring once and assisting another goal.
“I first have to really succeed here as a striker of Ajax. That’s also how the past six months felt, when I played here on a rental basis. I really had the feeling afterwards: I really have to go back. Believe me, in a few years I will provide a nice transfer fee for Ajax and then the club will have made a nice profit.
“There are more good players who play striker: Dusan Tadic, Steven Bergwijn, Davy Klaassen, Lorenzo Lucca. At the moment I am a basic player, but I just have to perform, with good play and goals. Then the trainer can’t ignore me and I start in the team.”
Brobbey belongs to a Ghanaian football family residing in the Netherlands.
He has previously expressed interest in representing Ghana at the senior level.
He has played for the Netherlands at U15, U16, U17, and U21.
