Manchester United Likely Regrets Selling Star Striker Now Outperforming Rashford and Tel

Manchester United’s recent struggles in the transfer market have left them regretting some past decisions, including the sale of Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker, who United sold to Inter Milan in 2019 for £73 million, is now thriving at Napoli and outperforming United’s current attacking options.

Lukaku has scored 9 goals and provided 6 assists in 21 appearances for Napoli this season, helping them to the top of the Serie A table. Meanwhile, United’s Marcus Rashford has only managed 7 goals, while new signing Mathys Tel has yet to score.

United’s current strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are both experiencing scoring droughts, highlighting the team’s struggles in attack. New manager Ruben Amorim has been tasked with improving United’s fortunes, but the lack of a clinical finisher is proving problematic.

While Lukaku’s style of play may not always be eye-catching, his goal-scoring ability is exactly what United have been missing. His success at Napoli serves as a reminder of what might have been had United retained his services.

As United continue to search for attacking reinforcements, the decision to sell Lukaku looks increasingly shortsighted. His current form suggests he could have been a valuable asset in United’s bid to return to the top of English football.
