However, there are concerns about the lack of movement in the transfer market. Despite Ruben Amorim's promise of changes, only Marcus Rashford has left the club this summer. It is believed that Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia have all been told to find new clubs, but Amorim may still start the season with players he no longer wants.

The club's perceived spending spree has not materialized, with only three new signings: Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Diego Leon. While they are quality players, they are not the "superstar" signings that United should be targeting.

Amorim's target, Viktor Gyokeres, has signed for Arsenal and will face his former manager on the opening day. The Swedish striker would have been an ideal addition to United's front line.

The lack of movement in the transfer market and the perceived disorganization behind the scenes raise concerns about the club's preparation for the season. A coach without the players he wants and forced to play those he doesn't want or rate is a recipe for disaster.

There are suggestions that Benjamin Sesko or Ollie Watkins are now being targeted, but what are their numbers like, and who might be better suited to the role? Watkins is an experienced front man with Premier League pedigree, but he will be 30 by the end of the year. Sesko has been the main man for Leipzig in front of goal and has only just turned 22 years of age.

Over the past two seasons, Sesko has scored 33 goals and provided eight assists in 71 matches, while Watkins has bagged an impressive 54 goals and 27 assists in 117 games. Both players have an identical 43.9% stat for shots on target, with Watkins just shading the shot conversion accuracy.

There is a difficulty in comparing the pair like-for-like because Watkins has effectively played an extra season's worth of fixtures compared to Sesko. A final decision may not only come down to age over experience or vice-versa, but what else either player brings to the party.

United's board and Amorim can't afford to get it wrong in the market again, so their next purchase needs to be well thought out and everything considered before making a final decision.

There are pluses and minuses to both signings, and the sooner the choice has been made, the better for all concerned.
