Last summer’s transfer window saw Manchester United make attacking reinforcements a priority to try and mount a charge for a place in the Premier League’s top-five. INEOS splashed over £200m on the signatures of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko – resulting in a new-look front three for the 2025/26 campaign. Whilst hefty funds were splashed on the aforementioned talents, such an investment was worthwhile as the trio netted 32 top-flight goals between them last term.
