The disastrous penalty shootout of three new MU players

In the early morning of August 28, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, two of Manchester United's three expensive summer signings, failed in the penalty shootout, while Benjamin Sesko seemed to avoid taking the responsibility of taking the penalty.

Bryan Mbeumo could not overcome the pressure, missing important penalties.

In the second round of the League Cup, MU was held to a 2-2 draw by Grimsby, then lost 11-12 in the penalty shootout. Bryan Mbeumo missed the decisive penalty in the 13th round, while Matheus Cunha also missed the decisive chance in the 5th round.

If Mbeumo hit the crossbar with his 13th kick, directly causing MU to be eliminated, Cunha was also to blame for his poor shot that the Grimsby goalkeeper could save. At that time, the penalty score was 4-4 and if the Brazilian rookie had successfully kicked, MU would have won the right to go through.

More notably, Benjamin Sesko, the new striker worth 75 million euros, only dared to take the 10th penalty - a decision that was considered strange. Former MU defender Gary Neville commented that normally strikers would take the responsibility of taking the penalty early, but Sesko seemed to be mentally unstable and did not dare to take it.

MU therefore had to let central defenders like Harry Maguire or De Ligt shoot first. Sesko was even the second-to-last MU player to take a penalty in the first round (for 11 players on the field), because goalkeeper Andre Onana was forced to take the 11th round.

Sesko, who was expected to be the spearhead of the attack after moving from RB Leipzig for €75 million, showed a lack of confidence when facing the Grimsby goalkeeper in the official match. He shot high into the air from 3m out, missing the chance to decide the match. The new signing of MU is seriously lacking in confidence.
