Manchester United fans demand Club must sign one Player after his performance in the Nations League Final yesterday
Manchester United fans are calling loudly for the club to go after one particular star following his electrifying performance in the UEFA Nations League final on June 8. As Portugal clashed with Spain at the Allianz Arena in Germany, all eyes were on the usual big names—Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Pedri, and Lamine Yamal. But it was 22-year-old Nuno Mendes, the dynamic left-back from PSG, who stole the spotlight and set social media ablaze.
In a match packed with attacking firepower, Mendes delivered a performance that combined rock-solid defense with attacking brilliance. He expertly shut down threats from Spain’s flanks, especially the much-hyped Lamine Yamal, and even provided the assist for Ronaldo’s crucial equalizer that brought the game level at 2–2 during regular time. His contributions didn’t stop there. When the game went to penalties, Mendes showed nerves of steel, calmly slotting home his spot kick as Portugal went on to win 5–3 in the shootout.
The reaction from United supporters was instant and emphatic. One fan tweeted their desperation to see Mendes in a red shirt, while another hailed him as the best full-back in the world, praising his rare ability to combine airtight defending with relentless attacking support. Even football expert Guillem Balagué weighed in during ITV’s coverage, describing Mendes as the “nemesis” of Lamine Yamal—an endorsement that only fueled the buzz around him.
United’s need for a top-tier left-back has been glaring this past season. With new manager Ruben Amorim working to rebuild the defensive unit, supporters believe someone of Mendes’ caliber could transform the squad. His speed, intelligence, and fearless approach in big moments make him the kind of player who could elevate United in a season filled with high expectations.
However, signing Mendes won’t be easy. He remains under contract at PSG until 2029, and prying him away would require a hefty investment. Still, the mood among United’s faithful is clear: they want their club to be ambitious and make bold moves. Mendes’ standout showing on the international stage might just be the spark that forces Manchester United to act. As far as fans are concerned, the message is simple—get him to Old Trafford, no matter the cost.
