“It Won’t happen again” – Man United use Chelsea man as inspiration for new transfer strategy
According to reports, Manchester United is content with two rather surprise additions they made this summer in an effort to make sure its new owners, INEOS, don’t pass up players like Moises Caicedo of Chelsea.
According to Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is eager to make sure that players like Caicedo don’t leave the team again like they did in the past. The Red Devils recently signed two wonderkids in the form of Chido Obi-Martin and Sekou Kone.
Caicedo was a notable example of a player Man Utd were alerted to when he was still a youngster and not very well known, but he ended up being rejected in favour of so many of the big-name signings the club made instead, with flops like Casemiro among their recent midfield additions.
Instead, Caicedo went to Brighton and showed what a talent he is, later earning himself a big move to Chelsea, so the chance for United to get him during his peak years is surely now gone.
Moises Caicedo transfer failure to inspire new Man United strategy?
According to Romano, INEOS feel that failures like this ‘won’t happen again’ now that a new structure is in place at Old Trafford, so fans will hope this can eventually lead to improvement on the pitch after a difficult few years and a general decline at the club since the retirement of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
Caicedo is now a star player for Chelsea and it must be frustrating for United fans to think they could have signed him on the cheap a few years ago, with the Ecuador international clearly one of the top midfielders in Europe now.
