Manchester United s 74 million new players are so miserable: 20 touches in the game, teammates zero support

1:14pm, 15 September 2025【Football】

The Red Devils lost to Lan Yue 0-3. Foden scored twice in the second half, and many Manchester United fans who were away from home left early. After the game, Luke Shaw, Ugath, and coach Amorin will be criticized, while Scheshko, who is at the forefront, is too isolated on the court, even Manchester United fans can't bear to blame him.

The 22-year-old Slovenian striker joined RB Leipzig for £74 million this summer, replacing Danes Hoylen, who scored in his Serie A debut on the same day. Last year, Hoylund, who was the same age, was often isolated on the court because the whole team could not provide him with any support. So eventually, my confidence was exhausted and I went to Serie A in the summer window. Facing Manchester City today, Seschko almost copied that scene, and all the "remedies" in the summer window seemed like a joke.

This is the data sheet handed over by Xieschko:

only touched the ball 20 times in the 80th minute, 0 in the penalty area;

The only shot appeared shortly after the opening and was easily confiscated by Donnarumma;

9 confrontations only won 3 times;

14 passes were only successful 8 times;

The average position was even further back than the three teammates - he actually landed in the middle circle! It is understandable that attacking midfielders Mbewumo and Amade Diallo are even higher, but left-wing guard Dorgu is both higher than his average position. In fact, his position is almost parallel to the two central advancements of B Fee and Ugat, and is only slightly ahead of right-wing defender Mazravi. After a less successful Premier League starter experience, the discussion about Sheshko on social media was in a blast. Some fans said: "I feel sorry for Sesco, and I will be turned into the second Hoylund again." "I used to scold Hoylund, but now I think it's a problem with the striker? The ball can't be passed under his feet!" "If I don't change, Sesco will follow Hoylund's old path." "No one can find him, exactly the same as Hoylund."

Amorin called on the outside world to be patient with Sesco in an interview with the media. "He will feel that this is the strongest league in the world. We can help him play his characteristics, but it takes time."

In any case, Old Trafford will play against Chelsea next week, Manchester United and Sheshko must show stronger impact and fighting spirit, because the patience of the fans is gone.
