Manchester United's Biggest Concern This Season
Strong criticism has been reported on Manchester United's recruitment of Timo Werner (27, Leipzig).
Manchester United's biggest concern this season is its "scoring ability." As the strikers show sluggish performance, frustrating games are being played every game.
Rasmus Hoyleun, who was brought in for a huge amount of money, has just scored his Premier League debut goal, while Marcus Rashford remains sluggish. Alejandro Garnacho also has ups and downs in every game, and Antony has not scored a single point on offense this season. Midfielder Scott McTominay is in a serious situation as the team's most prolific scorer with five goals.
Manchester United is looking for a striker in the upcoming winter transfer market and has recently been linked with Werner. The British newspaper Metro reported on the 2nd that Manchester United has started negotiations with Leipzig over Werner's recruitment.
Werner played for Chelsea from the 2020-21 season and experienced the Premier League stage. Werner received high expectations when he scored 28 goals in 33 league games for Leipzig in the 2019-20 season.
However, he bowed to poor performance at Chelsea. In particular, he was nicknamed "big chance miss" as he constantly missed critical chances. Werner had only 10 goals in the league during his two seasons with Chelsea and eventually returned to Leipzig last season. He had only nine goals in his first season after returning to Leipzig, and he has only two goals in eight games this season.
Despite the worst slump, other teams' interest in Werner is still high. Before Manchester United, Real Madrid also paid attention to Werner. Vinicius Junior was injured and was a hurriedly searched replacement. Real's interest cooled down quickly, but Werner's name is still appearing. 사설토토
Despite this, British talk sports host Dean Thunder was furious about Manchester United's alleged recruitment of Werner. "Will Manchester United really bring Werner? Werner is fast and moving, but he has a talent for missing a goal," Thunder criticized.
"Werner has always been like that for Chelsea. Why are they pursuing this recruitment?" he added.
