Why Benjamin Sesko is the final piece of Manchester United's puzzle: Inside the Iceland board summit to solve misfiring forward line, why he fits Ruben Amorim system perfectly... and why they turned him down in 2019

When Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada met Sir Jim Ratcliffe at a summit in Iceland recently, they set about tackling a glaring problem: their team could not score goals.

Manchester United, known worldwide for free-flowing football and 'attack, attack, attack' were the fifth-lowest scorers in the Premier League last season, with nobody hitting double figures.

Only three players in Ruben Amorim's team scored more than four league goals and strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee - brought in for a combined £115million - hit just seven between them.
