In a podcast, commentator Merson believes that Manchester United needs Matteta, and he also believes Matteta is stronger than Scheshko.
Merson said: "Marteway United signed Sheshko and he couldn't score because no one gave him a cross. The two players behind him (Mbermo and Cunya) played casually and he couldn't get crosses from the wing. I regret him.
Last season's transfer deadline, I said that Manchester United needed a player like Matteta. He was strong, could lead the front line, was extremely threatening and could cause trouble, but they wouldn't buy him because he was just playing at Crystal Palace. But he was much better than Sheshko and he performed well in the Premier League every week. As a player, you would like Matteta to join your team."
