Manchester United’s £108 million striker problem continues to haunt them 😬🔴. Despite splashing the cash on Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee, their goal returns have been underwhelming 📉.
⚽ Højlund – 7 goals
⚽ Zirkzee – 5 goals
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy is tearing up the Champions League 🎯. Leading the scoring charts with 10 goals and outshining the likes of Robert Lewandowski ⭐🔥.
💰 The £14m Opportunity Manchester United Missed
Back in January 2024, United had the chance to sign Guirassy for just £14 million 😳💸. At the time, he was neck-and-neck with Harry Kane in the Bundesliga scoring race 🏆🇩🇪, spearheading Stuttgart’s rise from relegation survivors to Champions League contenders.
Despite his electric form, United chiefs deemed him not worth the price ❌💰. Critics labeled him a “one-season wonder”, and the Red Devils passed on the deal.
Fast forward to today, and Guirassy is proving them all wrong 🚀. After securing a stunning second-place finish with Stuttgart, he moved to Dortmund, where he’s thriving under new boss Niko Kovač ⚫🟡.
⚽ Guirassy’s Red-Hot Form
🔥 6 goals in Kovač’s first 6 games
🔥 4 goals in Dortmund’s 6-0 thrashing of Union Berlin
*🔥 3 assists in the Champions League
Dortmund now face Lille 🇫🇷 in the Champions League Round of 16 and could meet Benfica or Barcelona in the next round 🏆🔜.
Meanwhile, United are stuck in the Europa League 😞, with their striker struggles persisting under Rúben Amorim. Could Guirassy have been the missing piece to keep Ten Hag in charge and fire United back to the top? 🤔💭
