Ferdinand speaks: Manchester United don t buy Sesco, go buy future Golden Globe winners

As Manchester United devoted themselves to chasing forward Benjamin Cesco, the club's legendary defender Leo Ferdinand made a shocking and completely different voice. He publicly called on the Red Devils to give up Sesco and instead throw all their budget on another player. He is Carlos Baleba of Brighton.

The future Mr. Golden Globe

Ferdinand's amazing remarks are not groundless. In fact, Baleba's talent has been recognized by many top players, including Manchester United's new player Cunha and current Ballon d'Or winner Rodri.

And the 21-year-old himself is ambitious. "I want to win the Golden Globes like Rodri," Baleba said in an interview.

Leo's full recommendation

On his own channel, Leo explains in detail why he is so optimistic about the 21-year-old midfielder. He believes that Baleba is a perfect Amorin-style player: excellent physical fitness, strong dribbling ability, high tactical qualities and abundant energy.

Then he gave the decisive choice: "So, if I have money, should I buy Sesco or Baleba? A No. 9 who I am not completely sure about, a little young and inexperienced, or a Baleba who has experience in the Premier League, do you know what he can do?"

"Sorry, I will buy Baleba. I will lose everything for him."

Leo firmly believes that Baleba's joining can have a huge impact on the entire team and liberate other midfielders.

Ferdinand's advice undoubtedly put forward a new and extremely attractive direction for Manchester United's transfer strategy.

In the context of increasingly complex transfer negotiations about Sesco, should we continue to bet on a high-potential striker, or follow the legend's advice and sign a midfielder who can immediately improve the team's hardness? Amorin and Manchester United executives are facing a key choice.
