Brobbey has established a reputation as being the finest hold-up frontman in the Premier League, with defenders finding it almost impossible to manoeuvre him out of the way. Those qualities could be put to good use at the so-called ‘Theatre of Dreams’, but is the Dutchman prolific enough to be the leading man for title hopefuls United?
In response to that question, Kilgallon said: “He’s a monster, isn’t he? He’s one of them who will chase that ball down the line, still spinning behind, hold the ball up. How many strikers do you see do that anymore? Everything’s to feet, isn’t it? You never see these strikers spin anymore.
“And when you’re clearing one as a centre-half, he’s leaving one on you. He’s a pain in the arse to play against. Goal-wise, I mean, he’s been playing for Sunderland, who have done well, but how many chances is he really getting? He’s playing for Holland now and he’s got a few goals.
“If you put him in that team where you have most of the ball, they dictate play, you’ve got Bruno Fernandes behind you and can slip you in, I think he’s going to score goals. I think it’s a great shout for him.”
