The former Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would have been a great signing for Manchester United in the Premier League more than the London side Arsenal as it could be evident following the reports surrounding his future at the end of the season.
This could have been the case for the Gabonese International moving to Old Trafford with United needing something special from a center forward to their own benefits at the Theatre of Dreams.
He’s done pretty well for Arsenal football club and many United fans would have loved to have him the feature alongside the duo of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the Red Devils attack.
With the rumours surrounding the Arsenal hitman future amid the Corona Virus Brouhaha, we evaluate the (3) reasons why he could have been an ideal signing for Manchester United.
1. He is better than Romelu Lukaku
The French-born star is one of the best strikers in the world despite his age at the moment. He ranks among the best striker with Luis Suarez, Lautaro Martinez, Victor Osimhen and Kylian Mbappe making up the list.
He’s a special player that could bring something different and worthy of note for Manchester United. He’s obviously a better player than former United striker Romelu Lukaku following his incredible form and consistent showings at Arsenal week in week out.
His partnership with Roberto Lewandowski then at Borussia Dortmund was a match made in heaven as it drew rare view across Europe.
This helped Dortmund compete neck to neck with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga (German) at that time.
2. Her’s a world-class player
Aubameyang is a top-quality striker by all standard as we have seen following his exploits at German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.
He’s followed it up with his goal-scoring display for Arsenal in the Premier League for the past couple of seasons. His match statistics speaks volume about his immense attacking ability, especially in the final third.
This is arguably more than what Manchester United strikers have produced in recent season. He’s a world-class striker dreaded and well known in every league across Europe.
His reputation has risen in the past season for Arsenal as he continues to put in world-class performances for Arsenal despite the inconsistency Mikel Arteta, led Arsenal is facing at the moment.
3. He’s of big economic significance
The former Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has built a massive reputation for himself as a striker following his goal-scoring exploits over the years.
His lethal partnership with Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has earned him a good profile while making him one of the fan favourites at Dortmund and beyond (even in the Premier League with Arsenal
Football Club).
This may have seen his fame spread abroad as his shirt sales continue to turn out a dividend for his past clubs especially for the Gunners at the moment. Such would have been his case at Old Trafford if he was signed by the Red Devils side.
He’s a player of massive economic significance with technical relevance and superior attacking qualities being able to operate from the wings thus given room for Alexandre Lacazette in the center-forward position.
He’s performed at the highest level to help the club lure fans to come to the stadium for games. This may have increased the club fan base as well as the revenue generated for his shirt sales and involvement at the North London club which portrays his loyalty to the team’s course.
This is what the Red Devils may have missed out on via his signature at Old Trafford though possibility lies in the future with Solskjaer’s side having the chance to bring him (Aubameyang) in at the end of the season pending the situation of things in the transfer window.
