Alan Shearer slams Manchester United's overpayment on Benjamin Sesko, expressing skepticism about the £70 million striker's performance. Sesko's slow start at Old Trafford, marked by just two goals in 12 matches, has raised concerns. The transfer, valued at £74 million, was a significant investment for the Red Devils, who sought to address their goal-scoring issues after a challenging 2024-25 season. Despite the high price tag, Sesko's performance has been underwhelming, with only six starts in 11 matches and a recent injury concern raised by coach Ruben Amorim.
Shearer, a Newcastle legend, criticizes the hefty fee, suggesting it was excessive. He acknowledges Sesko's potential but believes he hasn't justified the investment yet. The Slovenian international's struggles are further highlighted by his national team's coach, Matjaz Kek, who expressed frustration over United's lack of communication regarding Sesko's injury and recovery. The question remains: will Sesko regain his form and justify the substantial fee United paid for him?
