Mendes has made great progress this season. |
In PSG's 2-3 defeat to Aston Villa in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals early on April 16, Mendes was one of the away team's scorers. He entered the penalty area, feinted past an Aston Villa defender before firing past Emiliano Martinez, making it 2-0 for PSG in the 27th minute.
A Man Utd fan wrote on X: "My club chose to buy Patrick Dorgu instead of Mendes? What a pity". Another account commented: "We missed out on a 'beast' like Mendes". Another fan spoke up: "Without a doubt, Mendes is the best left-back in Europe right now. Look at the way he tormented Aston Villa's defense. Our Man Utd missed out on such a player".
Former Aston Villa player Dion Dublin spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live about PSG's performance, saying: "PSG worked hard to create chances. Ousmane Dembele attracted the attention of the Villa players, and Nuno Mendes was on the edge of the box to score. They created chances easily."
During the January transfer window, journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that United had Mendes in their sights. He shared: "United are looking for left-backs and have added Patrick Dorgu to their recruitment list. Milos Kerkez and Nuno Mendes are rated higher on the list but are more expensive."
Mendes was also not interested in the prospect of joining MU. He quickly extended his contract with PSG until 2029 and received the trust of coach Luis Enrique. Mendes' impressive ability to participate in attacks and contribute to the style of play helped him become an important "link" for the Ligue 1 club.
