Man United signings 'not good enough', told they should have signed Liverpool star instead

Former Manchester United star Teddy Sheringham has slammed the club for signing players who are not used to English football.

He believes that they should have invested in players who are proven performers in the Premier League. He added that Manchester United should’ve moved for Alexander Isak instead of signing Benjamin Sesko.

The former Newcastle United striker is undoubtedly one of the best players in the Premier League, and Isak joined Liverpool for a British transfer record fee earlier this summer. There is no doubt that he would have been an exceptional acquisition for Manchester United.

Man United should have signed Alexander Isak

He said (h/t TEAMtalk): “They could have got Alexander Isak this summer for £120m, and they got Benjamin Sesko instead.

“Sir Alex Ferguson would have always gone out and broken the bank to get that leader, to get that top player, so that everybody looks at him as soon as he pulls that shirt on and goes, wow, what a player. I want to play like him. I want to be like him.

“When you get players that are not quite sure about their own ability or coming into the Premier League for the first time, they are looking around for a bit of help, but it doesn’t work like that. When you’re a £70m player, you should be showing us the way.

“So it’s not rocket science for me. The reason why Manchester United are where they are now is because of the stature of the players they have been buying are not good enough.”

Can Benjamin Sesko make his mark?
