Paul Merson: Manchester United should sign Spider-Koe, he is more suitable for the team than Seschko

Hupu September 26th Arsenal legend Paul Merson recently said in an interview with the media that Manchester United should sign Atletico Madrid's Argentine striker Alvarez this summer, rather than chasing Seschko.

In August 2024, Atletico Madrid introduced Alvarez from Manchester City, and the Argentine star has scored 33 goals for Atletico Madrid in 63 games. Merson believes that Alvarez should have been the perfect partner with Mbermo and Cunia. Manchester United finally chose to sign Seschko from Leipzig, the Slovenian striker has not yet scored a goal since joining.

Merson said in an interview with Sportskeeda: "Sheshko needs better support to score goals, and Manchester United's current style of play is not suitable for him. Mbermo wants to score goals by himself, Cunia likes dribbling, and I don't expect them to pull crosses to create opportunities for Sheshko. To be honest, I don't know when the first goal of Sheshko will come, which is a huge hidden danger for Manchester United. They should chase forwards like Alvarez. Players of this type can cooperate well with Mbermo. Cunia."

In addition, Schmeichel said in an interview with Premier League Productions: "I have no personal bias against Sheshko - but we don't need him. What we really need is a core player who can control the rhythm. This is the real problem we have always had, but it has not been solved yet."
