Manchester –
Manchester United It is considered that there has not been a significant increase from last season. In the center forward sector, they even took a big gamble.
From the first four weeks Premier League So far, MU has only won two wins and suffered two defeats. These two wins were achieved with great difficulty, respectively 1-0 over Wolverhampton Wanderers and 3-2 over Nottingham Forest.
Game-wise, the ‘Red Devils’ still had difficulty controlling the game. It is hoped that Sofyan Amrabat’s loan at the end of the transfer window yesterday can provide that control, through his duet with Casemiro.
However, the problem is, the MU squad as a whole is considered not to have experienced significant improvement. Especially on the front line, with names Rasmus Hojlund be in the spotlight.
Former Liverpool player and manager Graeme Souness believes United took a huge gamble by paying £72 million for the 20-year-old striker.
“I don’t think Manchester United will be any better than last season. They spent 72 million pounds on a young center forward, Rasmus Hojlund, who doesn’t have a good goal record,” said the man who is now a commentator, as reported by Football365.
“He played 34 times for Atalanta and only scored 10 goals. Now he comes to a league where it is very difficult to score goals.”
“I could be wrong. But that’s a really big gamble for someone who doesn’t have a convincing track record,” he added.
MU will practically still rely on goals from Marcus Rashford. Meanwhile, the names of other attackers such as Anthony Martial, Antony or Jadon Sancho have never really been convincing.
“I wrote an article five years ago that it was Anthony Martial’s last chance. But he still started the match as the main focus of their attack. He is not the Man United type of player. He makes you enthusiastic and then disappointed,” he continued.
“I still don’t feel that Antony or Jadon Sancho are a long-term solution for United, if they want to win the Premier League and Champions League. They still depend on Marcus Rashford.”
