Manchester United are set to welcome new manager Ruben Emolian, who is rumored to be planning to bring in goalscorer Keokinis, but the Portuguese newspaper Record has revealed Keokinis' move. The Swedish international, who has been described as the "new Ibar", is hesitant to make an offer to United. At the same time, the "magic wing" Sting also due to internal confusion, chose to stay in the team.
Rubin Emolian has said that Keogh Kinis has a release clause of up to 100 million euros and that Manchester United might make a move in the transfer window next January. But the newspaper of record pointed out that the 26-year-old Keogh was not keen on United's offer. Even if he is interested in leaving Sting, he will not choose United as the Red Devils' disorganization in recent years has deterred him.
In fact, when Kiokinis was asked if he would like to join Manchester United, he quickly denied it and said, "Join Manchester United with Emolian? I am not sure. I'm happy to continue playing alongside you. I'm sorry to see Emolian leave the team. I wish you all the best for the future." In 65 games for the team, Keokinis contributed 59 goals and 23 assists and Arsenal were rumored to be interested in bringing him in.
