Manchester United have returned in mischief in the transfer market. Reports have indicated interest in Dusan Vlahovic, the Serbian goal-scorer who’s contract at Juventus is nearing the end. According to sources, United smell opportunity—and, for once, it might not reek of panic. With Juventus allegedly ready to cash in for around €20 million, the Red Devils could pull off a heist worthy of Netflix dramatization.
The Sesko Situation: Talent on Pause
Benjamin Sesko, United’s shiny new toy, has so far looked like a sports car stuck in traffic. Two goals in eleven appearances isn’t catastrophic, but it’s hardly the eruption fans were promised. The kid’s got class, sure—but Old Trafford is no place for slow burners when the top-four race is already a forest fire. Amorim reportedly wants instant goals, not future potential.
Dusan Vlahovic: The Winter Wildcard
Consider Dusan Vlahovic, a striker who plays like he’s always angry at the goalposts. With five goals in 13 games, he clearly hasn’t been winning any Ballons D’or, but the sheer havoc he wreaks up front—brutal, beautiful, and at times, ballistic— defies description. Rare as they come, he is a classic No 9 with the requisite emotional range and a frightening body language, proclaiming to everyone around him, “Feed me or die.” United need that menace.
The Author’s Take: Worth the Gamble
Here’s the thing—€20 million for a striker of Dusan Vlahovic’s calibre is practically daylight robbery in football economics. Yes, there’s risk. His salary is high, and his injury record isn’t spotless. No longer a project, United needs a predator to regain their fear factor. The public goes first to the theatre of dreams. If the deal goes through, the thunderous roars of the past will once again fill Old Trafford.
Fans are longing for belief and, perhaps, this is the thing that could help United’s fire rage once more.
