The agents are a problem too. They identify the best SA players and tie down from a young age - they have good contacts within in Spainish/Portugese football so they got a very hefty cut when the first move to Europe (which they wouldn't get if the player was to move straight to United). The expectation is they will perform there for 2-3 years and get the big move where again the agent will get a hefty fee.
The agent probably won't be selling the English dream to them but rather instructing them to move to Portgual first or direct to Barca/Madrid if they are good enough.
