“New talks” – Top journalist provides update on Man United star’s potential transfer to Euro giants

Why is JJ Gabriel looking to leave Manchester United?

“There is the special interest of elite European clubs: Bayern Munich (Christoph Freund has already admitted his admiration for the player), PSG, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. These four clubs are famous for winning titles virtually every season. That’s why the decision was made that Gabriel would leave United, as they’re not a club currently used to bringing in silverware at any comparable rate of frequency. And he wants to win titles,” Falk explained.

This is pretty damning for United, but it could perhaps also be a useful wake-up call for the club as they’ve struggled to move with the times in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.

MUFC surely need to improve a lot if they are to remain one of the most attractive destinations in world football, with this being a team that has relied on its reputation alone for far too long.
