United’s £72M Striker Struggle…
Manchester United’s decision to shell out £72 million for Rasmus Hojlund has them feeling like they bet their house on a two-legged racehorse. Despite initial hopes of glory, Hojlund is now finding his path at Old Trafford as tricky as an ice-skating rink with a blindfold. Meanwhile, the new addition of Benjamin Sesko for £74 million has intensified competition. Just when it seemed Hojlund was ready to fight the fight, rumors twirl about AC Milan eyeing him like a dessert special on a Friday night.
United’s financial crystal ball had predicted Hojlund’s worth back then was more like £50 million – making their £22 million surplus seem like paying luxury prices for a budget airline ticket. Hojlund’s market value now dangles closer to £30 million, much like a bungee jumper who realized he’s scared of heights halfway down. Former Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini, a man with wisdom as vast as a lasagna, previously advised another year in Bergamo. But alas, the allure of Old Trafford’s bright lights lured him away, like a moth to a really overpriced flame.
