"One centre-forward for Manchester United and everything was on him, the pressure was on him and he couldn't handle it. He should be coming in and out of the team. There should be three or four centre-forwards there. This summer, what do they do? They let him go and they buy another one, very similar, exactly the same! 22 years of age. He's started ok, he looks like he's getting better. But where's the common sense in that?"
"Man United have been criticised for poor decisions Another surprising transfer business done by United was first the signing of Rasmus Hojlund, a young striker who was brought to lead the club's attack and then his sale this summer, considering he was not given a proper chance to develop at the club. Benjamin Sesko was signed this summer to replace Hojlund at the club, a player who is from a similar age bracket and like Hojlund, unproven at the top level."
Manchester United has made several high-fee signings that failed to deliver at Old Trafford, including Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Andre Onana. Recruitment decisions have prioritized big-money moves despite poor outcomes, contributing to sustained squad imbalance. Rasmus Hojlund was signed young, made the focal point of the attack, then sold this summer after limited opportunities to develop. Benjamin Sesko was acquired as a like-for-like replacement, also young and unproven at the top level. The club frequently lacks depth among centre-forwards and appears to repeat recruitment patterns without easing young players into the squad or providing sufficient rotation.
