I would love to play for Man United this summer – On Loan Everton striker makes Surprise Man United contract demand as Sir Jim Ratcliffe sent transfer message

On-loan Everton forward Neal Maupay has sent a message to Manchester United

Neal Maupay has hilariously put himself forward to join Manchester United this summer.

The 27-year-old striker, who’s currently on loan at Everton from Brentford, hasn’t been linked with a move to Old Trafford in any way, shape, or form, but one supporter has tried to sign him for the Red Devils.

On Tuesday evening, Maupay posted a video to X, which is formerly known as Twitter, of himself at a driving range. The Frenchman racked up over half a million views in less than 24 hours, with lots of fans poking fun at his shot, which he somehow managed to chip at a 90-degree angle.

Under Maupay’s tweet, @LARSENMUFC wrote: “Neal, I signed you on loan for my Manchester United career mode and I’m wondering if you are happy to stay as a rotation option? I’m happy to make the deal permanent as-long you accept the squad depth role. Lmk.”

The forward’s reply reached two and a half million people on X, raking in over 35,000 likes. He hilariously replied: “With the wages they pay?! Where do I sign mate [crying with laughter emoji].”

While Maupay hasn’t been linked with a move to Old Trafford recently, his Everton teammate Jarrad Branthwaite has.

The 21-year-old defender, who sees his contract at Goodison Park expire in 2027, has featured 32 times in the Premier League this season, helping Sean Dyche’s side climb out of the bottom three.
