This season, as Bangladesh Cricket Live runs alongside the football calendar for many fans, several English giants spent heavily in the summer window to sign new strikers in hopes of elevating their attacking power. Manchester United brought in Sesko, Chelsea secured Delap, Liverpool landed Isak, and Arsenal invested in Gyokeres. Each of these moves was seen as a statement of intent, and expectations were high that these forwards would deliver immediate impact.

In reality, the performances have fallen well short of initial projections. While none of the signings has fully lived up to the hype, the contrast becomes clearer when placed side by side. Gyokeres has at least found the net five times for Arsenal. Delap has struggled with injuries, while Isak’s dip in form has been softened by fitness concerns. Sesko, however, has remained available yet has failed to provide meaningful contributions, which makes his situation particularly awkward.

Former players, club insiders, and reporters close to Manchester United have been blunt in their assessments. They argue that Sesko’s overall impact since arriving has been underwhelming. He was never expected to be a pure finisher, as his appeal lay in versatility, physical presence as a focal point, and decent pace for a big striker. Unfortunately for United, those supposed strengths have not translated onto the pitch this season. In contrast, Cunha and Mbeumo have consistently looked sharper, more decisive, and more reliable, leaving the much talked about new attacking trio effectively reduced to just two dependable options.

That context explains why, once the Africa Cup of Nations began, Amorim resisted rushing into offloading Zirkzee, a player he does not fully trust either. Relying solely on Sesko to lead the line feels like putting all eggs in one basket, so keeping Zirkzee as insurance makes sense, even if a move to Roma now seems almost inevitable. Confidence is the lifeblood of any striker, and without goals or belief, momentum quickly fades.

With pressure mounting from fans, legends, and media scrutiny that often feels as intense as a Bangladesh Cricket Live broadcast, adjustment will be crucial. Recent seasons offer little comfort, as United have signed several attackers with limited success. As Bangladesh Cricket Live discussions often highlight parallels in form and psychology, the question remains whether Sesko can reset mentally, or if he will become another cautionary tale in United’s recent transfer history.
