Manchester United is set to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko for 74 million, pushing their summer spending on forwards past 200 million. Despite new attacking arrivals, the midfield situation remains a challenge for the team. Head coach Ruben Amorim's system requires two deeper midfield players, which may not suit current candidates, particularly Bruno Fernandes, who prefers to roam rather than fill a traditional box-to-box role. The club is quietly exploring a deal for Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba from Brighton to address these concerns.
Bruno Fernandes likes to roam and find pockets of space, but he is not someone who you would rely on being alert to danger.
Amorim's system involves two deeper midfield players, wing-backs who push high up the pitch, two inside forwards, and a striker.
Manchester United's agreement to sign Benjamin Sesko for 74m raises concerns about midfield after a weak goal output last season.
Amorim stated that Bruno runs a lot and has endurance, addressing concerns about his physicality in midfield roles.
