In a shocking turn of events that has left many Manchester United fans reeling, Nigerian sensation Mbemuo has officially given up on his dream of joining the Red Devils and is now setting his sights on arch-rivals Liverpool. Once seen as a future superstar and a perfect fit for United’s attack, the talented youngster has walked away in frustration after more than a month of unproductive talks with the club.
Mbemuo, who had long admired Manchester United, didn’t hold back in his emotional farewell. He revealed that it’s been 44 days since initial contact was made, but nothing meaningful followed. In his words, “They moved quickly for someone like Sancho, but with me, there’s been nothing but silence. I’ve had enough. I’m moving on to Liverpool. They made me feel wanted. United had their shot — and they blew it.”
For United fans, this blow cuts deep. A club once known for decisive transfer action now appears sluggish and confused. Mbemuo’s frustration has only intensified those feelings, particularly as he referenced how quickly the club secured Jadon Sancho in the past.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has stepped up. Under new manager Arne Slot, the Reds are aggressively rebuilding their attack, and Mbemuo is reportedly seen as a key part of that vision. Their prompt and professional handling of talks has swayed the player completely.
The sense of loss is more than just about missing out on a transfer target — it feels like a public embarrassment. Mbemuo was willing, eager, and emotionally invested in a United move. Now, he’s heading straight into the arms of their biggest rivals.
While fans vent their anger and rivals gloat, the harsh reality remains: this talented player is on his way to Anfield because Manchester United simply failed to act when it mattered most.
