Ruben Amorim’s Promise and Transfer Deals…
Ruben Amorim promised sunshine and rainbows, and while Manchester United might not have hit the jackpot, they’re certainly seeing a few beams of light after last season’s grim 15th-place finish. The transfer window was smoother than a cat on a waxed floor, as they scored Premier League-proven talent to boost their attack after a pitiful 44 goals. Their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo was more complex than explaining why cereal is technically a soup, but they got him in the end. Comedic negotiations with the ‘Bees’ for Mbeumo and Newcastle’s signing of Yoane Wissa rounded off United’s summer antics.
Benjamin Sesko is like furniture from a flat-pack store – full of potential but not immediately functional out of the box. With Amorim carefully managing his minutes and Mason Mount taking center stage, fans should brace themselves for a slow-brew coffee rather than a quick espresso. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Altay Bayindir’s mistakes were so glaring that even the stadium pigeons were facepalming. But with the young Senne Lammens stepping up, hope springs eternal for the goalpost guardians. Midfield remained untouched, much like the broccoli on a child’s dinner plate, as Brighton’s Carlos Baleba remained priced out. Despite these hiccups, the club’s dealings ended up impressively sunny-side up.
