MU completed the recruitment of striker Benjamin Sesko and introduced him officially in a friendly match against Fiorentina. So, where can the Slovenian striker kick in the Red Devils squad?
MU is clearly determined to correct the mistakes of the previous season, if they look at what they do in the current transfer window. Although the club's leadership has been constantly having financial difficulties during the past 12 months, the Red Devils still spend 229.7 million euros for the rookie, mainly in the attack.
Yesterday (August 9), the club announced that he recruited striker Benjamin Sesko, surpassing Newcastle to own the signature of the Slovenian striker at the initial fee of 76.5 million euros.
When analyzing Sesko's potential more carefully, it is easy to understand why both teams are willing to spend a large amount of money for this young striker. Newcastle in the context of Alexander Isak's concern that he wanted to move to Liverpool had considered Sesko as a replacement for their number 9. Meanwhile, with Man United, they always crave for a blessing striker after suffering from disappointment with Hojlund and Zirkzee.
The question now is how Sesko will integrate into the full star of coach Ruben Amorim. And where will you kick in the starting line of the Red Devils this season?
The highest stone in the 3-4-3 diagram
It was not surprising that Man United recruited Sesko because he was a talented young man. The 22 -year -old striker scored 38 goals in 87 matches for RB Leipzig in all competitions, before 29 goals after 79 matches for Red Bull Salzburg.
Despite being able to kick left, Sesko went to Old Trafford to play a striker, and in many ways he could completely squeeze into the main stone squad of Amorim coach.
Although Rasmus Hojlund confirmed that he wanted to stay and compete in the position, the appearance of Sesko was almost sure to push him into the bench. Hojlund has only 26 goals after 96 matches for Man United, the number is difficult enough to keep the main kick.
In Amorim's preferred 3-4-3 diagram, Sesko is likely to receive new attacks, with Matheus Cuha and Bryan Mbeumo supporting both sides. This is a significant upgrade compared to the previous season.
Briefcase with Hojlund in 3-5-2
However, Sesko also brought Man United many tactical options. He can kick alone in attack, but often play with Lois OpenDa in Leipzig. With the fierce density of modern football, Amorim now has enough personnel to rotate and change the system when needed.
The biggest beneficiary from Sesko could be Bruno Fernandes. Last season, the Portuguese midfielder played more than any other Manchester United player – up to 442 minutes, and sometimes affected by the big load.
With CuHa and now Sesko, Amorim can move to a 3-5-2 diagram, with Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo played the central midfielder, while Bruno plays the number 10. In the absence of Bruno battles due to injury or rest, CunHa will replace the number 10 stone.
At that time, MBeumo could back down the Wing-back, and Hojlund would also have the opportunity to play more, play with Sesko in attack. This layout can be applied when MU meets weaker opponents.
