Apparently the guy reporting it is fairly reliable for Egyptian league related stuff and has done work for the Guardian.

 

[Champ]

When they have to reuse clips over again on a YouTube highlights reel, you have to start to worry a tad.

 

[Drizzle]

Regardless of how reliable this source is, I'll put this out there:

If we sign this guy, I'm making every red café member a dish of ful medames, and then will live-tweet entombing myself in a purpose-built pyramid.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

I like this video better:


What I like about him is that he looks strong, quick, direct, comfortable on the ball and full of confidence. For the price why not take a punt?

Not a lot of channels showing Egyptian league games to get footage.

There's probably a few in Egypt I'd wager...

He gives the ball away as many times as he wins it back in that video!!
I don't get it, he must have something of United are scouting him, but in what's supposed not be 'highlight' reels I am just not seeing it!

 

[BFernandes]

23 eh

 

[TrustInOle]

23 eh

25 in two years, which is practically 30.

 

[pascell]

Pass, he looks horrendous.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

After that link to Caicedo, who ended up at Brighton, I don’t trust these random links anymore until I see a concrete bid has been accepted.

 

[Rampant Red Rodriguez]

Too raw. Unless we ship him on loan for a while, which does not suit our requirements..
L

 

[Lash]

As mentioned in the tweets page, looks like he's having a good tournament and we're only scouting him. Quite standard I'd imagine. Al Ain supposedly had a 6m bid rejected already. Unless he blows our scouts away, I doubt we'll move quick enough.

 

[CM]

If we're determined to target a pure DM I'd sooner see us take a punt on someone like this than spend a large chunk of the budget on a Declan Rice. The scouts are there for a reason.

I don't think our midfield will function as we'd like before getting in another player who can dictate the tempo, though.

The lads playing in Egypt?

Sounds like a pyramid scheme

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Not a great highlight reel.

 

[MiceOnMeth]

Our scouts seem pretty rubbish.. We should just wait until Dortmund or Leicester target a DM and sign him instead

 

[Ali Dia]

caciedo looked to have a lot more about him and he was cheaper.

silly season links. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up in turkey/greece or somewhere. He was linked to Galatastary not so long ago

what happened with Kamaldeen?

 

[crossy1686]

This is a weird as when we were linked with that Brazilian lad in Turkey

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

It’s not like the people who make YouTube highlights are a major presence in Egypt.

 

[Idxomer]

Excellent for Al Ahly and looks unbeatable at times.

Currently, I don't think he's anywhere near good enough for United. The link is also most likely made-up.

 

[the_cliff]

As an avid African football watcher I have to say In about 4-5 years everyone will be complaining that we didn't sign him earlier when he's at a team like Southampton and they're asking for 80 mill.
Unfortunately I don't believe the links as rarely do any players go directly from Africa to a major European team, there's always a stop gap, so can see him at a Southampton or Brighton before we'd have any serious interest.

 

[Lash]

Again, the link is we're sending scouts to the CAF semi finals. Easily true.

He's been told it's particularly to watch this lad, also probably true.

The rest is extrapolation

the big fella with the rocket shot, ex Benfica? …. What’s his name again?

Edit: Talisca. That took me ages to find.

Repetitive, just like the music. Also some of the footage looks like it could be from the 90s, which would make you question his age.

Nothing to see here, the music is shite, he's shite and he's never going to play for Utd.

 

[SAFMUTD]

25 in two years, which is practically 30.

Probably wont even end the decade before retiring.

 

[WhyYouGottaBeSoRuud?]

Either Ole is looking for his own Djemba-Djemba/Manucho/Bebe-esque signing so he can be more like Fergie or option #2 It's rubbish.

Spoiler alert!
No chance, it's rubbish.

 

[Irrational.]

We’re being linked with every Tom, Dieng and Harry. Silly season is well and truly upon us.

 

[lenny_1248]

New Manucho?

In all seriousness, if it's just couple of millions and not a primary signing for the DM position, then who cares? They can buy 3 of them.

1.25 looks like he's playing in the 1990 World Cup.

Talisca?

Hahaha yeah. Thanks! I spent about 20 mins looking for ex galatasaray players but he was Besiktas!

 

[lysglimt]

He is so bad they only named him once

 

[Champ]

Oppo Reno 2 came out in 2019, which makes that clip two years old, but possibly recorded using a potato.

That's the one. Went to China in the end

 

[The Stain]

We're signing this lad so we can afford both Sancho and Grealish. Think about it.

 

[stevoc]

Him and Fred together would be great fun.
