Manchester United Club with joy and expectation that Cesco officially became a member of the team. At present, the contract between the two parties is waiting for the registration process to be completed successfully, and the contract will take effect immediately. The Slovenia-based forward talent has signed a long-term contract with the club to 2030 and will shine at Old Trafford Stadium in the future.

At the age of 22, Cesco has stood out in the five top European leagues in the past two seasons and has become the best goal scorer among players under the age of 23. Last season, he wore the suit of Red Bull Leipzig and was a big shot on the green field, scoring 21 goals for the team and giving six assists, fully demonstrating his outstanding offensive talent and field control ability.

In fact, Manchester United has invested heavily in the transfer market, which has long been difficult to trigger strong shocks from the outside world. Especially this summer, the competition in the football transfer market is becoming increasingly fierce, like a war without gunpowder. All the wealthy clubs are on the verge of ready, trying to use the recruitment to improve their strength, hoping to take the lead in the new season.

Liverpool showed amazing courage and was able to compete in the transfer market with a "400 million arbitrary behavior". It was very likely that it would not give up until it fully utilized its funds. It was committed to building a super team that was invincible on the field. Chelsea also started the pace of large-scale signings early, spending more than 200 million pounds to continue to add new strength to the team, striving to achieve major breakthroughs in the new season.

Traditional tycoons such as Arsenal and Manchester City are also not to be outdone. They are actively and enthusiastic in the transfer market and invest considerable funds, all of them doing their best to enhance the overall competitiveness of the team. Under such a fierce competition, Manchester United spent 85 million euros to sign Cesco, which is just an ordinary move in this in full swing transfer arms race.

However, what Manchester United lacks most at present is a midfielder with both offense and defense. After all, as the core hub of the team's operation, the team has the opportunity to achieve great results in the game only if they are strong and tenacious enough. Moreover, although Cesco is talented, his weak ability to confrontation has become a clear shortcoming, which has also made many fans not optimistic about his career prospects at Manchester United.
