It was revealed that Manchester United regretted not signing the new Haaland for 30 million! The forward line has been affected so far, spending more money not to score

Failing to sign Benjamin · Seshko more than two years ago, United's forward redesign plans have been adversely affected so far. Both Jim · Ratcliffe and INEOS regretted the decision, with the club spending more money on it and goalscoring ability remaining a huge issue.

Manchester United have held talks with Sheshko's agent, Elvis · Bassanovic, in the 2022 summer transfer window, to sign the high-potential goalscorer. The then 19-year-old was planning to leave RB Salzburg, but the Red Devils did not complete the move and joined sister club RB Leipzig for a fee of €24 million (£20 million). Today, the 21-year-old Slovenia striker has scored 24 goals in 51 appearances for Leipzig.

British media revealed that Salzburg asked Manchester United for 30 million euros for Seshko that year, and he scored 29 goals in 79 games in Austria at that time, and was hailed as the "new Haaland". Manchester United did not agree, so Leipzig signed him and agreed to keep him on loan for another season at Salzburg.

Sheshko also said he did not think a move to Manchester United would be the ideal option at the time. "Actually, I wasn't really involved in transfer negotiations. "But I think it's better to join Leipzig. For me, it's very important to go to a team that plays something like football. I already knew what I had to do and didn't have to go through the whole learning process anymore. It would be great to play in the Premier League, but for now, let's focus on the present and then see the result.'

United had intended to sign Sheshko and buy an experienced goalscorer the following year, preferably Harry · Kane. But the Red Devils have always had a good plan and a skinny reality, and eventually gave up on bringing in Kane because of their dealings with Tottenham chairman Daniel · Levy.

After the 37-year-old Ronaldo's contract was terminated in November 2022, Ten Hag signed Netherlands compatriot Waout Wa·deo Weghorst on loan from Burnley in the winter transfer window in January, and the "Wowo" scored just two goals in 31 games and failed to score a single in the Premier League.

Last summer, with Napoli striker Osimhen's £150 million price tag out of reach, United considered France striker Muani and Denmark teenager Hojlund. In the end, Manchester United signed Hojlund for £73 million, while Muani moved from Eintracht Frankfurt to Paris Saint-Germain.

Hojlund was 20 years old when he joined the Reds and scored 17 goals in 48 games for the Reds, which was okay but a bit injured. However, due to his high transfer fee, it has affected the recruitment of other positions in the team. Moreover, Manchester United ended last season in the Premier League with a humiliating -1 goal difference. Manchester United signed Joshua · Zirkze from Bologna for £36.5 million this summer, with a release clause in his contract with Bologna, but he has scored just one goal in his first ten games.

After spending £110 million to bolster their strikers, United have scored just five goals in seven league games this season, the second-lowest in the Premier League. Since joining Tottenham for £86.4 million last year, Kane has made 54 appearances for Bayern Munich, scoring 54 goals. Sheshko signed a new five-year contract with Leipzig in June with a release clause of £55 million.

Manchester United are still being shown to be keeping an eye on him, with the club still hosting his agent Bassanovic at least twice. Sheshko has six goals and three assists in nine games this season, and Arsenal and Bayern are also looking to bring him in. The Slovenia striker is likely to move next year, but his demand is that the team must play in the Champions League.
