Victor Boniface has opened up about turning down a move to the English Premier League, despite receiving attractive offers in the past. The Nigerian striker, who currently stars for Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, said he’s not a fan of the Premier League and prefers to avoid clubs that come with too much pressure.

Speaking on The Culture League podcast, the 24-year-old explained that he always considers the style of play and environment before agreeing to any move. “It’s not that I wouldn’t go to the Premier League if the chance came,” he said. “But for me, it has to be the right team. I look at the way they play, how they operate, and how much pressure comes with being there.”

He revealed that after a strong season in Belgium, he received big-money offers from England but turned them down because the fit didn’t feel right. “Some players don’t perform well under intense pressure,” Boniface said. “So I chose a team where I felt I could truly grow and enjoy football.”

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken on the controversial offside goal in Manchester City’s recent derby win over Manchester United and shared how Manchester United had actually benefited from a similar decision in the past.

He recalled that three years ago, Manchester United won a derby game against Manchester City with a goal that was allowed to stand despite an offside decision.

“Three years ago, we lost the Derby at Old Trafford with a goal that had to be disallowed. No one apologised. We are still waiting for the apology, Sometimes it happens for you, sometimes against you. It’s football.”

The comments came after Manchester City’s 1–0 win over Manchester United, in which Erling Haaland’s goal was initially ruled offside before VAR overturned the decision. The refereeing body later acknowledged that the decision was incorrect.
