Comparing with Ronaldo + Rooney + Tevez! SMC Trident cost 220 million euros, helping Manchester United to win the Premier League championship

On August 9, Manchester United officially announced that the signing of center Sesco from Leipzig will have a total transfer fee of 85 million euros. With the previously introduced Mbemo and Cunya, Manchester United's new SMC offensive trident has been built! Just counting the basic transfer fee, the sum of SMC three people reached 220 million euros!

Previously, England's legendary center Hiller said that if Manchester United wants to reach the top six of the Premier League in the new season, they will definitely introduce another top center. If they cannot, Manchester United's performance will be much better than last season if they sign Mbemo and Cunha.

With the transformation lineup basically meeting expectations, Amorin's ambition, who is obsessed with the 3-4-2-1 system, is probably not satisfied with qualifying for the top six Premier League Cup, or even the top four Champions League qualification, but is aiming for the championship trophy!

Amorin's current situation is somewhat similar to Ferguson twenty years ago. In the 1998-99 season, Manchester United, which won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League triple championship, reached its peak in the Ferguson era. By 2005, the "Manchester United Dynasty" seemed to have run out of energy and missed the Premier League championship for two consecutive seasons. The ones who rose to dominate Arsenal, Wenger coached and Chelsea coached by Mourinho. The "Christmas offensive" that had counterattacked in the past became a desperate pursuit. In the Champions League, the Red Devils have long lost their competitiveness.

Ferguson made drastic adjustments to the lineup. In the summer window of 2003, he failed to introduce Ronaldinho and signed Portugal's hope star Ronaldinho. A year later, he signed the English supernova Rooney, who was younger than Ronaldo, who was in a stronger momentum. In the 2006-07 season, Manchester United won the Premier League championship, Ronaldo became the team's first scorer, Rooney's second scorer, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, but was eliminated by the final champion AC Milan.

In the summer of 2007, Manchester United loaned Argentine striker Tevez from West Ham United, which was a very critical signing. Ferguson's assistant coach Queros began to try out Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez's three-headed monster tactics in front of the field at Manchester United. The positions of the three forwards are not fixed in the middle and wings, with Ronaldo as the core. In the 2007-08 season, Manchester United beat Chelsea with a 2-point advantage to win the championship. In the penalty shootout in the Champions League final, he defeated Chelsea coached by Mourinho again to win the championship. Ferguson and Manchester United ushered in the second period of dynasty.

2007-08 season, the top scorer Ronaldo won 31 goals in the Premier League, winning the Golden Boot, 42 goals in various competitions; Tevez scored 14 goals in the Premier League, 19 goals in various competitions; Rooney scored 12 goals in the Premier League, and 18 goals in various competitions. The three men scored a total of 79 goals in various competitions.

Now, what is the offensive firepower of Cesco + Mbemo + Cunia under Amorin's tent? We can only refer to the previous data at present.

Last season, Sesco contributed 21 goals in 45 games for Leipzig, including 13 goals in 33 Bundesliga. Mbemo has contributed 20 goals in 42 games for Brentford, all of which are Premier League goals. Cunha contributed 17 goals in 36 games for Wolves in various competitions, including 15 goals in the Premier League. The three of them scored a total of 48 goals in the league last season, 4 goals more than Manchester United's 38-round Premier League goals.

Cesco, Mbemo, and Cunya are far less famous than Ronaldo, Rooney, and Tevez, but on paper, they are Manchester United's strongest trident in the post-Ferguson era. You should know that Salah, Firmino and Mane, who helped Liverpool win the Champions League and Premier League championships, were not very famous when Anfield's combination was first formed.
