Manchester United was held on a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina in their last prescription game on Saturday in Old Trafford after unveiling the signing of £ 74 million from Benjamin Sesko
The Supporters of Manchester United have begged the club to sign a midfielder after watching Casemiro Zwoegen in the last friendly of the preseason. United was held on a 1-1 draw by Fiorentina in Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, and underlines that they still have a long way to do under Ruben Amorim.
United was 1-0 after just eight minutes when Simon Sohm was left completely uncomfortable from a corner to put Fiorentina in front. Shortly thereafter, the hosts went with their own goal from Robin Gosens from their own piece, but could not find a winner.
Amorim Field Casemiro next to Captain Bruno Fernandes in the central midfield, where Mason Mount played as a false NR .9 in the front with new signing sessions Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. Benjamin Sesko was introduced to the crowd before the kick -off after completing his £ 74 million step from RB Leipzig and fans called for a new transfer during the game.
Casemiro is now 33 years old and has been to United for three years after a move from Real Madrid. He has been associated with a switch to Saudi Arabia, but that is not materialized and some fans are frustrated by his versions.
“Casemiro does everything in Slow Mo,” they wrote on X. “Casemiro's knees have really disappeared, he is now a Masters player,” another added. A third wrote: “Casemiro is completed. So slow. You desperately need a midfielder.”
It is clear who the fans have in mind: Carlos Baleba. The Brighton star is linked to a move to United, but the Seagulls appreciate him in more than £ 100 million, making a deal very difficult to do. Nevertheless, Casemiro's performance against Fiorentina has convinced that Baleba is worth it.
“The legs of Casemiro have disappeared. Ugarte is error -sensitive. United urgently needs a DM,” wrote a fan. “He only plays Casemiro and Fernandes in midfield, so he can demand that Baleba will be inside on Wednesday,” added another. A third joke: “Wise of Amorim to choose Casemiro in midfield to emphasize why we need Baleba.”
Did you say! Does Manchester United Casemiro have to replace this summer? Respond below.
Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo both appeared from the bank against Fiorentina in the second half, while Toby Collyer was a different midfield option in the team. In the meantime it was to say that Rasmus Hojlund remained on the couch, even though no other Center-Forward was available.
Hojlund's place is clearly threatened after the arrival of Sesko, who scored 21 times for Leipzig last season. The Dane struggled last season and only reached 10 times in all competitions, with only four in the competition, and could be sold to raise money for further deals.
United has already splashed more than £ 200 million to bring in Sesko, Cunha, Mbeumo and left back Diego Leon, but still want further additions. A new keeper to challenge Andre Onana and Altar Bayindir is on the cards, as well as a no.6 midfielder. The club has until the end of September to strengthen their team, which ended 15th last season.
