Football Insider reports Sunderland have no plans to sell Brian Brobbey in 2027 despite Manchester United’s interest. The 24-year-old scored a hat-trick in Sunderland’s 5-3 loss to Manchester City before the international break and is contracted until 2029.
Football Insider says United have had Brobbey on their shortlist since 2022, when he rejected a chance to follow then-manager Erik ten Hag to Old Trafford. The article’s own reliability assessment gives the report an overall score of 6/10 and says Football Insider is not very reliable for United news.
Brobbey scored eight goals and had one assist in 33 games last season, then scored three times in four matches at the 2026 World Cup. The article links United’s search for more goals to Joshua Zirkzee staying at Old Trafford, Benjamin Sesko’s struggles and injury absence from the 1-1 Fulham draw, and Matheus Cunha being used at No. 9.
