Luis Suarez To Manchester United? 3 Reasons Why This Will Never Happen

Luis Suarez To Manchester United?

Reading some of the transfer rumours felt like waking up on the first of April. The biggest or craziest rumour to have come out in recent times is the fact that Manchester United are looking to sign a Barcelona forward.

While we have heard such rumours about Neymar being targeted by the English clubs, this time, it is his strike partner who is in the limelight and it isn’t Lionel Messi targeted by Van Gaal. Luis Suarez is the player in question and even if Manchester United do throw about some crazy money, the deal looks highly unlikely to take place.

Football might be a crazy world and we have seen some rather ludicrous deals take place but here are three reasons why this deal will never take place.

1. The Patrice Evra incident

Everyone remembers the Patrice Evra incident and why Luis Suarez was banned for eight games. Manchester United fans will never forget the incident and Luis Suarez probably won’t ever either. The Uruguayan who played for Liverpool at that time still pleads his innocence.

Expecting him to return to the Premier League and sign for the club that almost got him kicked out of the country for no matter how much money there is on the planet would certainly question his character and more importantly, would Manchester United fans want to welcome a player that they vilified so regularly and cheer for him when he scores?

2. He is playing for one of the best clubs in the world

Luis Suarez joined Barcelona to win things and he has been doing it with aplomb. The former Liverpool striker might have started his career a little slow at the Catalan club with only 25 goals in 43 appearances but this season he has been on fire and is the main striker of the team with 19 goals in just 21 games.

Suarez won all that there is to win at Barcelona under Luis Enrique in his first season and he would want to continue that this year as well. Barcelona are first in La Liga and could well be looking to do a League and Champions League double, something that has never been done in the Champions League era.

Barcelona are also in a better place in terms of team strength and certainly Suarez moving to Manchester United can only happen in dreams.

3. Liverpool Factor

Even if the Manchester United fans forgive the Barcelona star for the Patrice Evra incident, they cannot forget that he played for one of their biggest rivals and had a real blast when the club defeated them 3-0 under Brendan Rodgers during David Moyes’ first season.

Luis Suarez loves Liverpool and there is no way that he would be making the same mistake as a certain Michael Owen did and dilute his legendary status at the club. Luis Suarez might be one of the deadliest strikers in the world but he wouldn’t want to commit career suicide by joining Manchester United at this time.

Doing so might make Manchester United better overall but certainly it would mean that Luis Suarez would be looked down upon by the Liverpool faithful, who still hold him in high regard, despite him moving away to Barcelona. This deal cannot happen and will not happen, surely not, surely.
