From his quote

“I am confident in my ability and will do my best to play as many games as I can.”

Coming to Manchester United fans and many journalists claimed that his signing was just a marketing frame to sell jerseys abroad.

However, with Sir Alex’s support, his readiness for game made he adapted to the league, his teammates, and life in England more easy .Ferguson once said: “He’s the player everyone would love to have.” He wasn’t known for his technique, but he outran everyone and fought like no one else. A true workhorse.

Praised by Andrea Pirlo and Wayne Rooney, he even captained the team in some matches.

He won 13 titles at Old Trafford with 60 goals,including 4 Premier League titles, a Champions League, and a Club World Cup, playing over 200 matches for the club.

In 2004 won the La Liga golden boot with 25 goals

Macauley Chrisantus, in the u17 World Cup, scored seven goals in seven matches to collect the golden boot at the u17 World Cup 2007. With this success, everybody thought it had a bright future, but his senior career was dramatic compared to his colleague who collected bronze at the same tournament, Toni Kroos.
Immediately after the tournament, Chrisantus’ agent arranged him an eduction visa to Germany, where he had the opportunity to play for Hamburg’s youth team in the 2007/08 season. When he turned 18 in August 2008, he was promoted to join the senior team. After that, he was loaned to Kartstruther SC and FSV Frankfurt in Germany since their move to fvs Laspalmas in Spain’s shunga division in 2012, where he had 66 appearances with 20 goals. Now he will be 35 years old in August 2025, playing in Italy’s Serie D. What do you think is responsible for that?

In the 2009 u17 World Cup, the Golden Ball for the Best Player was given to Nigerian Sani Emmanuel. Emmanuel’s youth career started with Bodens BK 2009–2010 and Lazio 2010–2012, later promoted to the senior side of Lazio in 2012 where he played a 2year move on loan to Salernitana 2012, then loan again to FC Biel-Bienne.
2013, after going to Beitar Jerusalem in 2014 and Oskarshamns AIK 2015 had a total of 16 appearances and 6goals. In all teams. After leaving Oskarshamns, AIK had a trial at Bosnian side, FK Sarajevo, but failed in his attempt. And since then, Emmanuel has been forced to quit football. Compared to who was given the Golden Shoe that year, although both were tied for five goals, Spaniard Borja González Tomás is currently at
Granada.

Kelechi Nawakali won the golden boot at the 2015 u 17 World Cup. Initially, the young outstanding players were signed by Arsenal in 2016 for €3.5m, later loaned out to MV Maastricht and fc port team b, on July 20, 2023, was sold to Chaves from Without Club for €250k but currently with Barnsley since Aug 12, 2024 which conditions of movement are not indicated. Compared to his colleague Victor Osimhen, who collected the Golden Shoe with ten goals that year, Victor, who started for VfL Wolfsburg from 2017 to 2019 in 2020, landed in Napoli had 108 appearances and 65 goals, and is currently on loan to Galatasaray. What is your opinion on the causes of the poor achievement?

Let’s flash our memory back to the 2005 U20 World Cup when two Nigerians happened to be second and third best to the world’s best players, but later world records never brought any of them near him. All this has given me a lot of sleepiness night. What actually causes later poor performance. Maybe we are black, or we are not given opportunities as black ?
Please, I need people’s opinion.

The drama that happened in the FA Cup quarter-final match Manchester against Portsmouth on 8 March 2008, when Manchester United first choice Edwin van der Sar left the pitch with a groin injury and was then replaced by Tomasz Kuszczak. After a short while, Tomasz was sent off after conceding a penalty and Rio Ferdinand had to take over in glove to keep penalty against sulley Murtari which lead Portsmouth to the semi-final. To be very honest, Manchester was so unlucky with the number of chances they got.
