Gary Neville has opened up and claimed that Chelsea should have completed the signing of Manchester United striker Bryan Mbeumo in the summer window, rather than signing Joao Pedro.
CHELSEA sanctioned another stunning spending spree, bringing the likes of Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho and Estevao Willian to Stamford Bridge, but at times this season, those players have been unable to shine like many had hoped for.
Arguably the best summer addition for Manchester United was Mbeumo, who has scored ten goals so far this season following a £65m move from Brentford, and Neville has been impressed with ‘good and solid signing’ Mbeumo.
Neville has also been impressed by Pedro but believes Mbeumo would have been a better signing for Chelsea and says United’s £65m star would have been ‘a sensation’ at Arsenal.
Assessing Manchester United’s deal for Mbeumo on the Stick to Football podcast, Neville said: ‘If you look at it now, Mbeumo would probably have been better for Chelsea and Arsenal than the players they got.
‘I think Joao Pedro had done quite well but Mbeumo… I mean, he would have been a sensation for Arsenal wouldn’t he?
‘He’s a good signing for Manchester United, a really solid signing. I like him a lot.’
Should Chelsea Have Signed Bryan Mbeumo?
The choices were clear from CHELSEA, they could have signed Pedro, who is younger and has alot of potential that Chelsea believed they could get the best out of. Or they could have signed Mbeumo, who is more Premier League proven and more dangerous with his pace.
The Blues went for Pedro, and although he has not impressed as much as many Blues fans would have liked this season, he has done a decent job in his first season at Chelsea and will only get better.
Mbeumo suits the way he plays at Man United and Pedro suits how he is being played at Chelsea, so maybe both players made the right moves for their careers and they would have been worse of if Pedro was at United and Mbeumo was at Chelsea.
We will never really know will we?
