Richard Keys has noted that top players no longer see Manchester United as a place to improve their career.
He said the club has lost its appeal following their failure to hijack Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo deal.
The English defender has joined the Blues after his contract with Fulham expired.
Keys pointed out that the Red Devils’ failure to persuade the player to move to Old Trafford instead of Stamford Bridge speaks volumes of their pulling power.
The beIN Sports presenter wrote on X, “If Utd can’t persuade the likes of Tosin Adarabioyo to join them that tells me they are no longer a ‘go to’ destination for top players.”
The Daily Mail had reported that the Red Devils tried making a late play for Adarabioyo, but he’d already agreed to join the west Londoners.
His arrival at Stamford Bridge was confirmed on Thursday (June 6), and he will officially join on June 30.
