MANCHESTER UNITED summer transfer target Brian Brobbey has revealed his dream to one day play at the club, despite snubbing a summer move.
The forward snubbed a move to Old Trafford over the summer in favour of a £13million transfer to Ajax.
But the 20-year-old has now revealed he actually intends to play for The Red Devils one day.
In an interview with ESPN’s Dutch branch, he was asked what one team he would want to play for in the future was.
He responded with “Manchester United” and burst out into laughter at the irony of the statement.
Brobbey also revealed he had received a message from United boss Erik ten Hag during the window.

“Erik (ten Hag) sent me a message, yes. To congratulate me, and to tell me that he would like to have me there in Manchester,” he said.
“But I’m not done at Ajax yet, I want to show something here first.”
Brobbey has already hit the ground running in Amersterdam this season too, scoring two goals and contributing a further two assists in the opening five games.
The striker is actually yet another product off of the Ajax conveyor belt, but RB Leipzig snapped him up as a teenager in 2021 before loaning him back to Ajax again for the season.

They then completed the cycle by selling Brobbey back to Ajax.
After the departures of a number of Ajax stars, including Ryan Gravenberch to Bayern Munich, Sebastien Haller to Borussia Dortmund, and Lisandro Martinez and Antony to United, Brobbey has been afforded an excellent opportunity to establish himself.
And if he and Ten Hag both get their respective wishes a transfer could well materialise by next summer.
