Spending over 200 million Pounds, MU continues to face disappointment

The three new arrivals at MU still have not contributed meaningfully after the opening two Premier League matches.

Manchester United remains the center of attention as their three major summer signings—Sesko, Mbeumo, and Cunha—have yet to leave any mark after the first two rounds at the Premier League. Despite the Red Devils investing over 200 million Pounds to bring in these new players with hopes of boosting their attack, the on-field reality has exposed many weaknesses.

In both recent matches, all three newcomers started but failed to register any goals or assists. Statistics show that they have all been “silent” in front of the opponent’s goal, causing the Red Devils’ offense to continue struggling to score. This raises serious questions about their adaptation to the Premier League environment and the tactical system that coach Ruben Amorim is implementing.

The pressure on these new players is immense, especially since MU endured a disappointing 2024/25 season, finishing 15th—the club’s worst ever Premier League result. Consequently, the management had to spend heavily to reinforce the squad, particularly the attacking line. However, after two games, these expensive signings have yet to improve the team’s offensive capabilities.

Beyond the dry statistics, their on-field performances have also fallen short of expectations. Hesitant decision-making, limited coordination with teammates, and difficulties advancing the ball have made it hard for Man Utd to break through opposing defenses.

With a tough schedule ahead facing strong opponents like Manchester City and Chelsea, the pressure on coach Amorim and the new signings will only increase. Fans are eager to see a timely breakthrough to prove the true value of this 200 million Pound trio, rather than continuing a frustrating goal drought.

If their performance does not quickly improve, these new signings risk becoming “a prolonged disappointment” in Manchester United’s already turbulent transfer history.
