Wilcox was Director of their youth academy after coaching successful youth teams at City, that’s why he wanted Sancho out in the summer, he’s aware of him being hard work and there were rumours of Sancho smoking after a city youth game.
True, but can we afford a finished article who is good enough? Also, I don't think we'll buy a player who is 27 or older unless his contract is running out. It’s a tricky situation.
Disagree with Sesko - he's far more developed and proven than Hojlund was when we bought him
If our goal truly is to win the Premier League title in 2028 then it makes sense.
The link has been corroborated by a more reliable journalist, but he downplays it by stating that United haven't gotten in touch with Dortmund yet (Tier 2):
not very good?
Never heard of that player but I’d be reluctant to deal with Dortmund again so soon. They have a habit of pulling our trousers down.
Will £87m suffice do you think?!
He's good, but he was involved in some controversy before his Dortmund move where he made some homophobic remarks. That'll come under the spotlight as the links to United become more substantial.
Not good enough to improve us.
Ye because players look class in there league but not in ours. Plus he couldn’t make it at city. We don’t want city rejects
We shouldn’t be looking at it like that though. We could pick up a championship midfielder and he could help us be better. We need quality not average players because there better than our below average players.
Given Wilcox’s history we are in danger of this becoming ‘a thing’.
Sesko has a level of potential that Hojlund and Zirkzee have never shown.
That's pretty debatable
True but i think we should be looking for someone that would truly takes our midfield up a few notches given limited resources. We can't afford to sign duds or also-rans anymore.
Deleted, my bad!
If you've never watched Sesko maybe you could argue he's shown a similar level to Hojlund, if you have you'd realise they're worlds apart.
Nothing concrete yet but I’m really disappointed with the mutters of rumoured central midfielders we’re linked to. It’s all been average all action midfielders.
Sesko has a level of non-united player bias that Hojlund and Zirkzee cannot show anymore, even though they both had plenty of potential at their previous clubs.
Hojlund showed at Atlanta the same levels as Sesko ? Right.
I didn’t say anything about comparing Rasmus to Sesko. I said Rasmus and Josh showed potential which they have.
Whilst replying to a post about how much more potential has shown than Sesko.
Fixed it.
Højlunds previous season for us is as good as any season Sesko has played goalscoring-wise. And he did it in a much tougher league. You can also check their all time head-to-head in the Champions League on Sofascore where you will see Højlund have a much better record in Europe, despite playing less games.
He‘d get along greatly with Mazraoui.
No, the potential both he and Zirkzee have shown is in the Italian league. Likewise the potential Sesko is showing is in the German league - which whether you think is better or worse than the Italian league isn’t the Premier League. Like our two, Sesko also hasn’t played for a club anywhere near the size, stature, exposure and pressure of United.
