In the early morning of October 5, Caicedo contributed 1 goal in Chelsea's 2-1 victory over Liverpool in round 7 of the Premier League. In addition to scoring, the Ecuadorian player also had an explosive day when he performed 11 effective defensive situations, successfully recovered the ball 5 times, made 4 accurate tackles and achieved an 88% accurate passing rate.

Commenting on television after the match, former midfielder Jamie Redknapp called Caicedo's performance " world class". Gary Neville also agreed and considered the Ecuadorian star the number one midfielder in the tournament.

The former MU defender analyzed: “Caicedo is clearly the best central midfielder in the Premier League at the moment, and I feel very confident in saying that. Last season Ryan Gravenberch was impressive, and Declan Rice and Rodri have also maintained high performance in recent years. But at the moment, Caicedo is the most outstanding player in the midfield.”

Witnessing Caicedo's explosive form, many MU fans wish their team had such a powerful midfielder in the midfield. The "Red Devils" had the opportunity to recruit Caicedo himself in 2020 for a fee of only 4.5 million pounds but missed this opportunity.

In the summer transfer window, MU targeted Carlos Baleba - the midfielder Brighton brought in to replace Caicedo. However, the deal quickly fell through when Brighton asked for more than £100 million. Currently, Baleba is also showing signs of decline after an explosive 2024/25 season.

MU's midfield with names like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro or Manuel Ugarte has not performed well since the beginning of the season, causing the team to receive a lot of criticism. Daily Mail commented that the "Red Devils" need to bring in at least two central midfielders in the next transfer windows to strengthen this area, thereby being able to compete with other big opponents.

2 goals help MU defeat Chelsea On the night of September 20, MU struggled to defeat Chelsea 2-1 at home in the highlight match of round 5 of the Premier League thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
