Reports emerged that he had been offered to Turkish club Fenerbahce, coached by Jose Mourinho, but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano denied the claims.
Super Eagles legend Emmanuel Emenike reacted to the news, claiming he is not the type of player his former club needs and that they should sign players who are ready.
“Please no thank you. We need much better. Fenerbahce is not a school. We need ready players,” he wrote.According to ESPN, the Brazilian’s signing is one Manchester United have accepted they overpaid for after scouts initially warned he is not worth more than £25mil, but they paid 60mil more.
Mourinho certainly needs reinforcement at Fenerbahce as his job became even more difficult after rivals Galatasaray signed Victor Osimhen on loan to improve their firepower.
