It gave me a good laugh on occasions.
Vincent Aboubakar
- Thread starter UnitedSofa
- Start date
He played for Porto for years, when fit he is a good player, but he is very injury prone and not even close to United level.
Very weird if true.

I criticized the video, not everything has to be made into compilation with disco music but nothing really happens there.
Plays like a top striker in a good Asian league.
Don’t even play the same position
To be fair, that can be said about any player and every compilation. Goals, assists and dribbles are what makes a compilations, so it's impossible to judge a player based on that. Anyhow, this is far from his best compilation. I'm not exactly a big fan of him, but if you wish to be a bit more impressed than you were from watching this compilation, try watching the one from Brazil Scout Premium.
Looks to have good feet for a big man. I think he would be a good loan signing.
Jeez.
This is a joke link right? This only has legs because Ronaldo went there and somehow we’re getting him because that’s just crrrrazy banter!
Who the feck is this
Does anyone really know who this cnut is ffs?
He's the captain of Cameroon, you not knowing who he is says more about your football knowledge than his ability.
It makes sense if our only option is a loan. Soneone who is an international captain and well travelled may settle quicker.
Please no
His numbers are irrelevant. Its what his presence offers to utd up front. Big and strong enough to worry a whole defensive line. If that makes more space for rashford/bruno/antony then great.
We arent looking for a elite striker in january, we need another striker to take the responsbility off rashford (whos in red hot form).
Also has CL experience with Porto.
Top scorer at Afcon in 2022, by a mile.
2 goals and an assist at the WC.
Looks OK as an option up front.

Is he Cameroon's best player? Has anyone been watching Cameroon recently and can comment on his performances for them? That might be a better indicator than the Saudi League.
I'll be the first to admit that my knowledge of Cameroon football doesn't extend much beyond Roger Milla.
People need to wake up and realise that nearly any centre-forward is an upgrade on current Martial. Martial is offering next to nothing in a team with quite low xG I'm pretty sure. Maybe people are getting carried away with talk of a title challenge but we need to ensure we finish in the top four and I think this fella can come in and score about ten goals, based on his world cup anyway.
Aboubakar isn't a upgrade on Martial. This guy is just a stop gap, experienced body. That's it.
Best abs in football award?
Geremi and Samuel Eto'o!
If we have no money after the summer spree and/or a long term target that's not available until the summer then someone seasoned makes perfect sense.
Have you watched Martial this season? He is offering next to nothing. At least Aboubakar is coming off a good world cup.
Slightly ott there. I think Martial still offers us a good outlet up-top with his hold up play and composure but I agree he could be doing better in and around the box.
You’ve got a better chance of winning a playing contract at Real Madrid than that happening.
I actually didn't know he was from Cameroon
, don't pay that much attention to internationals. Great player though.have there been any credible links at all? I've only seen the original report from OKAZ, but I don't think any English journalist has even mentioned his name. Nothing in this, surely?
I think he’s going to turkey and we’ve been stuck in as per usual to get more money or drum up more interest
No, but he got the same agent as Alex Telles, so we all know how it will sound when Arsenal or Chelsea snatches him right infront of us…
Delicious
Nah this has legs. As much as teams often throw our name in to bump up prices or negotiate new contracts or whatnot, those teams are never Fenerbache and bloody Al Nassr
Quite a lot
1) people said the same thing about Ighalo, and Cavani, and Ronaldo… this club needs a long term strategy. Short term fixes are not the answer. I’d rather play Garnacho through the middle and develop a new area of his game. Or have a punt on one of the u21s
2) he’s absolutely nowhere near good enough for the premier league, let alone Man Utd
No not “this”
it is a terrible idea and you’ve made me ashamed by agreeing with it
Yeah, and he has always been a really strong performer in the Champions League. Just checked, he got 14 goals in 24 games.
These videos
The club has one, hence waiting till summer to spend the money. A loan without obligation to buy gets us over a short term hump.
The guy is captain of cameroon and scored and played in WC. Dont be so myopic.
I feel your pain and like, of course we do.
But it just comes down to this.
1. At the end of Q1, as of 30 Sep, we had what 25m in the bank. Q2, ending 30 December, will be really poor due to all home games missed due to the WC. Do we even have access to more than 10-15m? And our transfer budget is surely depleted.
2. To draw on our revolvers — which we could do, probably — we need Board approval. The Glazers owns the board. When we missed out on Gakpo, we can only assume that the Glazers did not make the necessary money available to close that deal.
3. Until mid May, we will play weekend/mid-week-weekend, with only a few exceptions. We still have 2 PPed games that have not been scheduled because there are no openings.
4. We have not replaced Christiano Ronaldo or Donny van de Beek.
5. The light at the end of the tunnel comes in the summer if we get a new owner. Our climb up towards the top will be greatly improved if we finish top 4. If we are to finish top 4, we must have a deep squad. How do we get a deep squad for the rest of the season in light of the above? How do we add at least 2 players?
Only way of adding 2 players is sorting out loan deals for this guy/Depay and Felix. There is no way that Atletico will let Morata leave or AC Milan with Giroud either.
