After England beat the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the European Cup, midfielder Minnay went straight to the position of "Orange Corps" striker Joshua Shukes and chatted with him for a few moments. The scene caused widespread public speculation that Manchester United were about to sign Shua Shukes, so Minnay was the first to show his friendship to the future teammate.
However, in the extra time of the game, Minnay was replaced while Joshua Shukes went to the bench early. After the game, Minnay walked towards Shua-Shukes with a smile on his face and gently patted him on the shoulder, a heartwarming gesture that immediately became the focus of media and netizens' heated debates. Some people speculate that Minnai may have known that the deal was successful, and specially came to welcome Shua Shukes to become a member of Manchester United.
Manchester United have reportedly agreed a personal deal with Shua Shukes. The Red Devils club now only need to pay another £34 million (around $340 million) to buy out the 23-year-old Bologna shot-stopper, thus securing the deal.
Meanwhile, Dutch international Mathias Dillet is also rumored to be joining Manchester United in a move from Bayern Munich. With the Dutch team out of the tournament, both players can devote themselves fully to United's transfer affairs.
