In an effort to improve their attack, the Manchester team spent more than 200 million pounds to bring in the trio Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.

MU also pushed out a few famous players, including Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund, with loan contracts until the end of the 2025/26 season.

Among the names that have just left Old Trafford, no one has recovered as quickly as Hojlund - the striker who joined Napoli in the final days of the summer transfer window.

The Danish striker has scored two goals in four appearances in Serie A and has also scored twice in the Champions League.

On the BBC's Sacked in the Morning podcast, Schmeichel said: "Looking at what Hojlund is doing at Napoli with De Bruyne and McTominay, his ability to score goals is clear.

I've been saying this for the last two years. Rasmus Hojlund will be a 25-goal-a-year striker for Manchester United. But he needs to be pumped up regularly.

United let Hojlund go based on the statistics that he scored few goals last season and then brought in Sesko along with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo.

The club spent more than £70 million on Sesko, while MU needed another quality central midfielder and a new goalkeeper.

Why did MU recruit another striker, a position that is not really necessary? Because the new head of recruitment from RB Leipzig - Christopher Vivell wants to make his own mark."
