Manchester United icon, Dwight Yorke, has taken aim at the club’s transfer decisions, suggesting three alternative signings to Rasmus Hojlund. Yorke’s comments come amid his expression of empathy for the struggling young talent.
Expressing regret for the plight of Hojlund, who has faced difficulties since joining the Red Devils from Atalanta for a substantial £72 million last summer, Yorke highlighted the club’s missed opportunities.
“I think they [Man United] should have paid £150 million for Haaland. Harry Kane is an obvious choice. And Osimhen is another I would have tried for,” Dwight Yorke conveyed to the Daily Mail.
Yorke’s poignant words encapsulate the sentiment of many football enthusiasts as he laments the situation surrounding Hojlund, emphasizing the lack of prior awareness about the player prior to his high-profile and high-cost transfer to Manchester United.
The scrutiny of Manchester United’s transfer strategies, combined with Yorke’s heartfelt concern for a struggling talent, sheds light on the complexity and challenges inherent in modern football.
