Manchester United Spends £193.9m on Forwards in Summer Transfer Window

Manchester United has invested heavily in new forwards this summer, spending over £66 million on Benjamin Sesko alone, bringing their total guaranteed fees for three forwards to nearly £194 million, with additional costs potentially pushing the total over £200 million when including agent fees and Premier League levies. Sesko, a 6ft 5ins striker known for his speed and powerful finishing, has developed into a formidable forward likened to Erling Haaland, though he still lacks consistent goal-scoring prowess. United's recent pre-season concluded with a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina, where Sesko was introduced to fans, raising questions about Rasmus Hojlund's role. Meanwhile, Liverpool is targeting England international Marc Guehi to strengthen their defensive options, but his potential transfer depends on Crystal Palace's legal battle regarding Europa League qualification, which could influence the club’s decision to retain him. Guehi represents a key defensive asset for Palace, who might prioritize Champions League qualification over selling him. Liverpool's pursuit of Guehi appears more feasible now as Chelsea, despite injury setbacks, are reportedly focusing on other targets.
