And the signing of a centre-forward seems to take people even higher, delivering peak levels of exhilaration. That’s certainly the case for Manchester United’s fourth new face of the summer: Benjamin Sesko.
Our goalscoring problems were much commented upon last season. In the Premier League we found the net just 44 times in 38 matches – only the relegated teams and Everton scored fewer.
The club’s attempts to help Ruben Amorim fix that particular problem have been swift and straightforward: two of the league’s top 10 scorers from 2024/25, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, have been added, and Sesko’s arrival means that an entirely new front three could take to the pitch this season.
