United’s £74m Coup Leaves Rivals Jealous…
Manchester United’s signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig has left not just Premier League rivals in disbelief, but also clubs across Europe scratching their heads in a collective ‘How did they do that?’ moment. While Old Trafford celebrated this coup, fans couldn’t help joking that the only thing certain at United this summer was the need for bigger shelves to store all their new signings! With Sesko’s arrival, United edged out Newcastle, who might now be considering auditioning new strikers during halftime shows.
Barcelona were particularly miffed, as they had Sesko marked as the heir apparent to their aging superstar Robert Lewandowski. This setup was looking just as promising as trying to train a parrot to sing the national anthem backwards. Barcelona’s director Deco had high hopes for Sesko, especially as Lewandowski’s contract is tiptoeing towards its end. As Barca grapples with financial woes, they’ll have to explore cheaper talent next year, possibly even browsing the local neighborhood teams for promising No.9s playing for peanuts.
