  • Al-Nassr have mutually terminated their contract with Vincent Aboubakar
  • According to reports, Al-Nassr needed to clear up space in their squad as they have reached the full capacity for foreign players
  • Meanwhile, the Cameroonian has been linked to a move to Manchester United, who are in desperate need of a forward following Ronaldo's exit

Football fans across the micro-blogging App, Twitter, have expressed their disappointment with Al-Nassr's decision to part ways with Vincent Aboubakar.

Aboubakar, who scored an iconic goal at the 2022 World Cup, was expected to form a lethal partnership with Ronaldo following the latter's move to the Middle East.

However, the supposed partnership has hit a snag with Al-Nassr opting to part ways with the Cameroon captain in order to make room for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Meanwhile, Aboubakar is also arousing interest from Ronaldo's former employers Manchester United, who are in need of a striker, talkSPORT reports.

Amid the ongoing situation at Al-Nassr, many football fanatics, particularly on the African continent, took to social media to register their displeasure with Aboubakar's exit.

Below are some of the comments sampled by Sports Brief:

@Hajjsani04 believed Vincent Aboubakar has been served a raw deal by Al-Nassr:

"It’s unfair. This player was very happy to see CR7 in the club and he is ready to be benched for Ronaldo to play."

Another fan, @aeorzooo argued Al-Nassr's decision was based on Ronaldo's off-the-pitch additions

"Sad for Vincent who would have been more decisive on the pitch than Cristiano. But hey, he brings back fewer followers. Damage."

@cfcportal boldly claimed the Cameroon captain was better than Ronaldo:

"He’s literally the better player."

@igrBARCAenjoyer opined with the assertion of @cfcportal:

"I think they terminated the wrong player."

@Abather_Idba believes CR7 has ruined the fortunes of Al-Nassr following Aboubakar's departure:

"Ronaldo ruins yet another club. Typical."

Al-Nassr parts ways with Aboubakar

Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr have reportedly terminated Vincent Aboubakar's contract.

Aboubakar shone for Cameroon at the 2022 World Cup as he captained his country and scored two goals in three matches.

Al Nassr needed to clear up space in their squad as they have reached the full capacity for foreign players, hence arriving at the decision to part ways with Aboubakar, per SportBIBLE.

Aboubakar to join Man United?

Sports Brief earlier reported that English Premier League club Manchester United have reportedly agreed to sign Vincent Aboubakar on loan from Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.

The Red Devils are desperately in search of another striker after terminating Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract at the end of last month.

Aboubakar, who scored one of the iconic goals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, has already spent 18 months with Al-Nassr, scoring 13 goals in 39 matches in all competitions.
