And if that wasn’t enough drama…
Guardiola’s Unexpected Praise Raises Eyebrows
In an unexpected twist, Pep Guardiola recently lauded a United player — a move as shocking as Sir Alex Ferguson praising Steven Gerrard in his prime. Guardiola’s pointed comment — “If you won’t use him, we will” — felt less like flattery and more like a warning shot aimed at United’s hierarchy.
The mystery player? Fans are betting on Hannibal Mejbri, Amad Diallo, or Shola Shoretire — all young, gifted, and underused under Ruben Amorim. Hannibal, in particular, fits the bill with his long-range strikes and midfield bite.
If Guardiola’s words spark anything, it could be a re-evaluation of how Amorim handles United’s youth — and perhaps force his hand before another talent slips through to the other side of Manchester.
Because one thing’s clear: losing a promising star to City, only to watch them thrive, would be a nightmare United simply can’t afford.
So, who do you think Greenwood’s mystery partner is? And if Pep was talking about Hannibal or Amad — should Amorim finally start them next match?
