Chelsea and Manchester United both invested heavily in the summer transfer window, but their new recruits have failed to live up their lofty transfer tags. Caicedo arrived at Stamford Bridge from Brighton for a British record fee of £115 million ($146m) but is the flop of the season so far, according to former Scotland striker Ally McCoist. Manchester United pair Onana and Hojlund have also been higlighted by McCoist, after struggling during a difficult season for the Red Devils, but don’t quite match up to the Chelsea midfielder.
The former Scotland striker told talkSPORT BET: “Andre Onana has been nothing like the signing everyone thought he would be for Manchester United, but I’m not giving him ‘flop of the season so far’, I think that’s ever so slightly harsh. But Moises Caicedo, I saw him a couple of times, particularly at Old Trafford with Enzo Fernandez in the middle of the park, and both of them were, for a quarter of a billion pounds, not great… Caicedo would certainly get my vote over Onana. Rasmus Hojlund? No chance – Caicedo and Onana would get it ahead of him. I know Hojlund hasn’t been scoring as regularly, particularly domestically, as Man United fans would want, but there’s a willingness there, there’s an eagerness there, a desire, which a lot of the United fans, the majority if not all of them, can see.
