MU is still looking forward to recruiting striker Benjamin Sesko on RB Leipzig, but this is actually not the club's wise country.
MU leadership is “working day and night” to bring Ruben Amorim the necessary tools to rebuild the club. However, when the Portuguese strategist and his colleagues returned to Manchester on Monday after the promising US trip to a big question: Should Omar Berrada CEO should prioritize a new striker and spend more than 70 million pounds for Benjamin Sesko?
Latest, Newcastle sent a new offer to RB Leipzig asked to buy Sesko, and wanted to complete the deal as soon as possible. Now it is time for MU to make a decision to enter or not. But the question is: What is what the Red Devils really need to be a true defensive midfielder instead of the striker?
Manuel Ugarte still shows the inefficiency, no different from the struggle in the previous season, when MU was constantly carved by Everton in a 2-2 draw in the Mercedes-Benz pitch at Atlanta.
The 24 -year -old Uruguayan midfielder made a serious mistake when he lost the ball, resulting in the goal of Iliman Ndiaye, and many times looked like he was “swimming in the mud”, completely lost in the majority of 72 minutes present on the pitch.
When Ugarte gave way to Casemiro – a slow -moving person like a boat pedaling in the middle of a large wave, and Kobbie Mainoo was showing signs of decline, the critical weaknesses in MU's median were once again exposed.
At the top, the trio attacked by coach Amorim in the first 45 minutes including rookie Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Bruno Fernandes – played vividly, flexibly and inspiring.
Although Amad Diallo made mistakes, contributing to the authors of Ayden Heaven (helping Everton to equalize 2-2), but still bring speed and breakthroughs in the role of wing, although he hardly supports center-back Leny Yoro.
Mason Mount then went on the pitch from the bench and set up a super product with a beautiful heart, showing that he could still contribute when needed. Obviously, MU has many players who are capable of scoring, even when Rasmus Hojlund is said to be no longer used and Joshua Zirkzee has not been able to play for injury.
Bryan Mbeumo, a £ 65 million contract from Brentford, has shown the speed, penetration and thinking of playing very well. Cuha may not be a true “killer”, but he showed a permanent threat. And Bruno Fernandes is always the most dangerous when there is a shadow in the foot and proactive creativity.
The replacement of Hojlund with a striker is similar to Sesko, instead of a target for a striker that has confirmed in the Premier League like Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace), it may be a waste of resources, especially when MU's middle line is weak as currently.
Not to mention, Mateta can be recruited for only half of the Sesko from Leipzig. Finding a Rodri player is very difficult, ask Pep Guardiola. But Amorim will definitely trade many things if there is a person like Michael Carrick or Owen Hargreaves in the squad.
The captain Fernandes himself did not hesitate to criticize the “lazy” performance against Everton: “We need to change that. The situation is improving, but the culture here is once a victory, and we need to bring it back.
A lot of people have to leave, who have devoted many years to the club. Fans are paying more money for tickets to the pitch, so we need to repay it with a performance on the field. “
When asked about the speech of the student, Amorim replied definitely: “I am glad that the players feel like that. They understand the situation. We need to maintain stability. But we are progressing. The feeling is perfect to return to Carrington.
The trip has created very good momentum – a positive training environment, optimistic spirit. Now it's time to return to Carrington and prepare to enter the season with the determination that we have a lot of work to do. “
Talking more about strengthening MU, Fernandes had a few messages to the Board of Directors: “I do not want to criticize anyone. The club is doing our best in the current financial context. But it is clear that we need more competition and quality so that all players have to make more efforts. That's what the club and coach are trying to do. Hopefully we can bring it to that two or two rookies to support that.”
So, Omar Berrada start from the biggest problem, not the most noticeable deal. Because a team with holes in the middle of the line cannot win any tournament. Without the strength of the midfield, MU once again race … Top 14 next season is unavoidable.
