If Man should be allowed to freely sign those players, I’m scared they’ll be unstoppable next season and I don’t want that”: Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola urged Premier League clubs to rise and hijack four of Man United’s transfer targets who’ll make them unstoppable next season if signed. PEP IS SCARED OF THOSE GUYS COMING HERE NEXT SEASON.

Pep Guardiola Sounds the Alarm as Rio Ferdinand Recommends Four Potential Game-Changers for Manchester United

 

Manchester United’s transfer ambitions are making waves—not just among fans, but with rival managers. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is reportedly unsettled by the Red Devils’ aggressive pursuit of four top talents, warning that if United seals these deals, they could become an unstoppable force next season. He even urged other Premier League clubs to step in and hijack these potential signings.

 

Meanwhile, United legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his own vision for reshaping the team, naming four key players he believes would instantly elevate the club under new coach Ruben Amorim, who is expected to operate with a 3-4-3 formation.

 

1. Adam Wharton – The Engine Room Upgrade

 

Ferdinand highlighted the importance of adding a commanding presence in midfield to complement reported target Manuel Ugarte.

 

> “I’d bring in a midfielder who can take control, connect play and feed the forwards. Adam Wharton is the man I’d pick.”

 

 

 

The Crystal Palace prodigy has caught the eye with his composure and intelligence in midfield. Both Real Madrid and Manchester United are monitoring his progress closely.

 

2. Victor Osimhen – The Ideal Frontman

 

Concerned by United’s current attacking woes, especially with Rasmus Højlund’s inconsistency, Ferdinand named Victor Osimhen as the must-have striker.

 

> “If I’m at United, I’m doing whatever it takes to bring Osimhen in next season.”

 

 

 

Napoli might be open to selling their star forward this summer, especially with pressure from Juventus and Premier League rivals. United could capitalize on the opportunity with the right offer.

 

3. Matheus Cunha – A Versatile Forward Option

 

Ferdinand’s third pick brings creativity and versatility. Matheus Cunha, currently at Wolves, has impressed with his flair and goalscoring ability.

 

> “Cunha wants to leave, so why not go and get him? He’d be a great addition.”

 

 

 

United are reportedly already in contact with Cunha’s camp, signaling serious interest in the Brazilian attacker.

 

4. Jeremie Frimpong – Modern Wing-Back Reinforcement

 

To round out his dream quartet, Ferdinand turned to the backline, recommending Jeremie Frimpong as a dynamic right wing-back—perfect for Amorim’s system.

 

> “Frimpong is the one I’d target. He fits the wing-back role perfectly.”

 

 

 

United are said to be in talks with Frimpong’s representatives as they look to inject pace and attacking threat from deep positions.

With transfer season heating up, United’s bold shopping list is drawing attention across the league. If even a few of Ferdinand’s picks land at Old Trafford, the Red Devils could be set for a serious resurgence.
