Amorim in trouble! Ex-Sporting man battles ghosts of Man United flops | OneFootball

Despite Manchester United heavily investing in forwards in the last transfer market, Ruben Amorim battles the ghosts of the club's recent past flops. This past summer, the red devils welcomed the arrivals of Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Bryan Mbeumo.

The three previously mentioned attackers have the task of scoring 20 goals in the Premier League. The last name to achieve this feat was Robin Van Persie, in the 2012/13 season, which was the last championship won by the Old Trafford club.

Since the Dutch striker, none of the heavyweights signed by Manchester United managed to score two dozen accurate shots at the opponent's goal, speaking of names like Ángel Di Maria, Romelu Lukaku or even Cristiano Ronaldo. The Argentine scored only three, the Belgian 16, and the Portuguese star 18.

In this way, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Bryan Mbeumo will have to do better than the last big signings of the red devils. This attacking trio was signed by the club's management at Old Trafford to secure the goals that have been missed due to the team's low offensive efficiency in recent years.

It's worth remembering that, in their last game, Ruben Amorim's Manchester United beat Chelsea 2-1, last Saturday, September 20, in a match for the Premier League. The goals were scored by Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, who may head to Al Nassr.
