🚨 Benjamin Šeško: “Your world changes when you move at Man United, this is something I love!”.
“Obviously there is pressure, but pressure is something I take as a privilege... It's good, it gives you a push”, told Sky Sports.
Even with all the problems at Manchester United they are still the biggest club in the country, probably second only to Real Madrid globally*. Even with the wretched Glazers, the debt, decaying stadium and years of poor recruitment, over-paying and under-achieving post-Sir Alex Ferguson, United are still a huge draw. That will be confirmed if Benjamin Sesko does follow Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in signing for a team who finished 15th last season.
Great clubs don’t lose their reputation overnight. United have a huge fanbase locally, nationally and internationally. It’s why the media cover them in such endless depth. Interest. It does need highlighting that the club laid off hundreds of loyal staff to save money and still have £70m for a 22-year-old. Sesko still an upgrade on the willing but shot-shy Rasmus Hojlund. United just need a dynamic Baleba-type in midfield and probably a more reliable goalkeeper than Andre Onana.
It’s still a long way back, other clubs have far better squads and are far better run, but United have a good head coach in Ruben Amorim determined to make his 3-4-2-1 system work (still a sadness for those of us who love United’s tradition of flying wingers). They have bought well this summer with Cunha and Mbeumo, who bring goals, assists and PL nous, also there’s the promise of 18-year-old Diego Leon. Patrick Dorgu looks to have settled in. Amad excellent. Mason Mount is fit, creating and scoring pre-season, but he’s 4th on the list for the two 10 slots. Amorim still has plenty to sort out. #MUFC
*the biggest club in the country/world will always be *your* club - because they matter most to you.
🚨💣 BREAKING: Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United, here we go!
Green light from Brentford and club to club agreement reached for £70m package, as @TheAthleticFC reports.
Contract agreed weeks ago with Mbeumo as he only wanted Man United move.
After Cunha, Mbeumo next for #MUFC.
“Giving the number 10 to Cunha is disrespectful to Rashford.”
Is it? You know what else is disrespectful?
➤ Going clubbing the same day you get humiliated by your biggest rivals
➤ Clubbing again a month later and skipping training the next day
➤ Showing the middle finger to your own fans
➤ Falling out with almost every manager you’ve had
➤ Jogging on the pitch when your team needs you
➤ Bringing a poor attitude to both matches and training
At some point, you reap what you sow.
