Manchester United have had an unthinkable summer transfer window with three immediate starters added to a struggling attack.
Last season saw Manchester United score just 44 goals in the Premier League and clearly Ineos thought this was the most important issue to fix over the transfer window.
Ruben Amorim must have agreed, with nearly £200m spent on goals and creativity in the front three within this 3-4-2-1 system that United now deploy.
United spent £62.5m on Matheus Cunha to kick off the summer spending all the way back on June 1st.
Following this six weeks later, United signed Bryan Mbeumo for an initial £65m from Brentford.
Finally, United spent £66m on Benjamin Sesko earlier this month to secure a brand new front three for Amorim.
Now, Harry Maguire has been discussing the trio.

Harry Maguire raves over Manchester United’s new front three
United have added an untold amount of quality to the attack this summer, which we are yet to see the best from.
However during game one, Cunha and Mbeumo both impressed for United, bringing real quality in a position that United have been weak in for seasons.

Speaking about the new attacking line during an interview with Manchester Evening News, Maguire has heaped praise onto all three.
“Like I said, first and foremost, they’re going to be a threat. I think when you play against them as an opposition defender, you’re not going to have an easy afternoon.
“You’re always going to be aware because you know that in one moment Matheus can score from anywhere or he can produce that little bit of magic, or Bryan can, like I say, he can score at the back post or he can curl one in.
“And then Benjamin [Sesko] is just a huge… He’s obviously got great physical attributes and he’s quick and he’s strong and he’s tall. He’s very good in the air, attacking crosses and his movement in the box is really good. I think they’re going to create and score goals, and that’s what this club demands.”
Manchester United can unleash new front three for the first time vs Fulham
Against Arsenal, United started Mason Mount in the front three which led to plenty of rotations around the front-line, however, there was a lack of focal point.
Therefore, against Fulham, we fully expect to see Amorim give Sesko his full debut for the Red Devils, starting in the middle with the excellent Cunha and Mbeumo behind him.
Sesko didn’t get long against Arsenal, but what he did get will prove valuable experience for him to get a feel for English football ahead of a likely full debut on Sunday.
Sesko, Cunha and Mbeumo all starting should strike fear into Marco Silva’s side and should see United get amongst the goals at Craven Cottage.
