I thought the window we got Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane was excellent but that season turned out to be a complete nightmare so I'll reserve judgment until I actually see how they all bed in.

Manchester United have signed RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko for £73.7m.

The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford, with Man Utd set to pay an initial £66.26m (€76.5m) with £7.36m (€8.5m) in performance-related add-ons for the Slovenia international.

People got carried away but Ronaldo was past it and Varane injury prone as hell so all hope was on Sancho who was overhyped. These guys seem the real deal in their prime to me but of course anything can happen

Sesko & 30 mill for Isak who says no?

Isak 😂

Balbea looks a good player, just don't see that one happening myself without a few departures from Utd. Plus, not sure why Man Utd are obsessed with finding a midfielder whose strength is not passing the ball. Your squad is absolutely massive now too!

Garnacho to Chelsea seems inevitable it’s just whether it’s closer to 50 or 40 mill. Antony is rejecting moves hoping for Betis but his departure is inevitable too. Someone has got to snap up Sancho🤷‍♂️ they’re trying to force Hojiund out but apart from that can’t see anyone leaving maybe Onana if we sign a GK

Cunha screams Garnacho part 2 to me, he's a ticking time bomb. Mbeumo had one amazing season (propped up by penalties) but before that he was pretty ordinary and was only seen as Toney's less good sidekick. Sesko could easily be another Hojlund. After 3 consecutive seasons of horrendous starts I'm reserving all initial judgments.

Sheesh, jury is out on Sesko but I’m pretty confident on the other they seem like Amorim kind of players

I think Cunha is the one personally. Mbuemo is a solid signing on paper, but it looks like his position will change, so who knows really.

Some interesting signings though, but I do think this adds an element of pressure. I'm not sure Amorim and anyone really can come out with many excuses when the likelihood is they're going to end up with a huge net spend. As always though, part of the problem with the Utd signings is on paper they seem great, but it's the culture, media circus and pressure that holds weight.

The toxic atmosphere seems gone now. Great new facilities too. I like the culture Amorim has created. Goal threats, pace and energy everywhere now. It’s a whole diff vibe for sure.

I mean, I wouldn't be so sure. You can't turn a culture around in 6 months. Old Trafford will be booing before too long if you're not beating West Ham, Bournemouth and Wolves at home.

Personally for me as an outsider, for a system which relies so heavily on the wing backs I find it a bit strange that's where Amorim hasn't tried to shift a few players out. Just don't see how you can have Amad and Fernandes in the same defensive line if you have Cunha/Mbuemo as your #10s. For a team that was quite solid defensively last season, that seems like a strange mistake to make.

Ole turned the atmosphere around and look how that turned out.

Depends of course on if all of the poison has been exercised from the dressing room or not

I think it goes much deeper than the dressing room though.

Throw 300m every summer at players and somethings bound to stick!!

Well it’s far more likely the wingbacks will be Dorgu and Dalot/Mazraoui and then if the team needs a goal maybe Amad or Mbuemo will replace Dalot. if Bruno is playing CM you expect his partner to be a DM which is why they want that Brighton guy as Ugarte is a headless chicken

Im sure Rasmus is a nice guy but genuinely the most average striker I’ve seen at Man Utd in a long time

Good he finally gets the message. Loan is risky I have no faith he’ll look good enough to seal a permanent move. Hopefully someone offers 35-40mill and that chapter can recover
