Rene Meulensteen’s thoughts on Sesko…
Rene Meulensteen has waved a giant red flag over Manchester United’s possible signing of Benjamin Sesko, news hotter than a volcano in the latest from the Manchester Evening News. United’s confidence is growing like a balloon at a birthday party, as they believe Sesko prefers a move to Old Trafford despite Newcastle’s higher offer. United snatched Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford this summer, leaving Newcastle feeling emptier than a cookie jar in a kindergarten class. With 39 goals in 87 games for RB Leipzig, Sesko seems promising even if he lacks Premier League experience.
However, Meulensteen compares Sesko’s potential arrival to “basically replicating the Hojlund experiment,” a scenario as unpredictable as a cat wearing roller skates on ice. Sesko’s successful transition depends on whether he can start scoring quickly, much like Hojlund at Atalanta and then United. Meulensteen suggests going for Ollie Watkins instead, a player already baked with Premier League experience, saying that the investment in developing Sesko could cost United more than hiring a magician to make money appear. United, intrigued by Sesko long before he hit star status, might still take the leap, trusting he’ll adapt to the Premier League’s rough and tumble nature faster than a caffeinated kangaroo.
