Manchester United has taken a swipe at Newcastle United following the completion of Benjamin Šeško’s transfer to Old Trafford.
The club’s official social media account posted, “It was only ever United,” accompanied by a photo of Šeško in a Manchester United shirt. This post is seen as a pointed remark, highlighting Newcastle’s failed pursuit of the 22-year-old striker.
Newcastle had placed a club-record bid for Šeško, reportedly higher than Manchester United’s offer. However, despite the financial commitment, Šeško chose to join Manchester United, citing the club’s history and future prospects as key factors in his decision. He expressed excitement about being part of a project aimed at competing for major trophies.
The failed transfer is another setback for Newcastle in a challenging summer transfer window. The club has faced difficulties in securing top targets, with several players opting for moves elsewhere. As a result, Newcastle is now exploring alternative striker options, including Ollie Watkins and Lois Openda, to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
