How did Liverpool and Manchester United miss out on signing Mamadou Sangare, who is now a Brentford hit? French football pundit Julien Laurens is perplexed by the decision of bigger clubs to overlook the Ligue 1 star. Sangare, named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year, signed a club record deal with Brentford worth around £41 million.
The Mali midfielder was praised for his exceptional performances last season, ranking second in France's top tier for tackles won. Despite both Liverpool and Manchester United scouting Sangare in the previous season, they did not make a formal move. Laurens believes the big clubs will soon regret their missed opportunity and considers Sangare as the Premier League's Signing of the Season.
He suggested that the top English clubs may be hesitant to invest in a player they believe might not be ready, allowing him to develop further. Laurens commended Brentford for securing Sangare, stating that the data was outstanding.
