Man Utd are regretting their decision to not sign Fiorentina forward Moise Kean instead of Benjamin Sesko over the summer, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils significantly boosted their forward line in the summer transfer window with INEOS spending around \u00a3200m on Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.<\/p>\n
There were rumours that Man Utd<\/strong><\/a> were looking at buying Viktor Gyokeres before the Sweden international eventually moved to Arsenal over the summer.<\/p>\n Once Gyokeres had moved to the Emirates Stadium, Man Utd moved quickly to bring in Sesko with Newcastle looking to get a deal done for the Slovenia international.<\/p>\n Man Utd beat the Geordies to the signing of Sesko in a deal worth around \u00a374m, while Rasmus Hojlund \u2013 who scored just four Premier League goals last term \u2013 departed Old Trafford to join Napoli on loan<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n There were some fans and former players who thought buying a defensive midfielder with the Sesko money would have been a better choice amid interest in Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Man Utd star branded \u2018a wet blanket\u2019 who offers \u2018absolutely nothing\u2019 to Amorim\u2019s side<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 22-year-old Sesko has come off the bench in all three of the Red Devils\u2019 first three Premier League matches of the season as he settles in to life in the Premier League.<\/p>\n And TuttoJuve claim that<\/a> Man Utd \u2018regret\u2019 their decision to turn down former Juventus and Everton striker Kean in favour of bringing in Sesko over the summer.<\/p>\n Kean, who scored 19 Serie A goals last season for Fiorentina, was \u2018offered to\u2019 Man Utd in the summer after the Red Devils \u2018launched a full-blown search for a striker\u2019 with the Red Devils \u2018seriously considering\u2019 a move for the Italian.<\/p>\n Former Man Utd midfielder Nicky Butt reckons the Red Devils are \u201cmaking the same mistakes\u201d with Sesko as they did with Hojlund, who signed from Atalanta in 2023.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Butt told BetMGM:\u00a0\u201cI hope I\u2019m wrong but I really hope they aren\u2019t making the same mistakes with [Benjamin] Sesko as they did with Rasmus [Hojlund].\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cHonestly, for what it would have cost, I would have gone and brought in someone like Ollie Watkins, someone to help and pull the young strikers out of a bad patch.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen young players are just coming into the club, when the onus is on them to score goals, if they\u2019re having a few bad games they have to have the safety net of being pulled out of the firing line. Ollie Watkins, or someone like that, would be who I would have been looking to bring in.\u201d<\/p>\n Slovenia team-mate\u00a0Andraz Sporar insists Sesko will come good if Man Utd stick with the striker, despite him failing to score for club or country so far this season.<\/p>\n Sporar said: \u201cWhat does he bring to United? Everything. He has speed, power, intelligence, good football IQ.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe he can be a complete striker in the next two or three years. But he\u2019s still young. He will help Manchester United a lot, they just need to be patient. I believe he\u2019ll score the goals and every year he will be better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd are regretting their decision to not sign Fiorentina forward Moise Kean instead of Benjamin Sesko over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[5758,94,225,98,59450,12,101,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-413665","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-benjamin-sesko","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-home-page","11":"tag-manchester-united","12":"tag-moise-kean","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-premier-league","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115181157396587944","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
