In a stunning revelation that will have Manchester United fans shaking their heads, Juventus and Poland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has exposed what he believes was one of the club's biggest transfer mistakes.
The former Arsenal shot-stopper didn't hold back during a candid interview on the Foot Truck podcast, describing a former United player as "impossible" to play against and questioning the logic behind his sale.
The Unstoppable Force
While Szczesny stopped short of naming the player directly, his description paints a clear picture of a formidable attacker who gave defenders nightmares. "There is a player at Manchester United that I was always happy to see leaving," Szczesny revealed.
"He was impossible to play against. I'm talking about a player who was physically strong, very fast, and technically gifted. When he was on form, there was simply no stopping him."
A Costly Decision
The Polish international expressed genuine bewilderment at United's decision to let this particular star leave Old Trafford. "I never understood why they sold him," Szczesny admitted. "When I heard he was leaving, I thought 'thank god, I won't have to face him anymore.'"
His comments suggest the player in question has continued to excel since departing Manchester, making United's decision to sell look increasingly questionable with each passing season.
Proven Track Record
Szczesny's opinion carries significant weight given his extensive experience facing Premier League attackers during his time with Arsenal. Having shared pitches with some of the world's best forwards, his assessment of this particular player as exceptionally difficult to play against speaks volumes.
The goalkeeper's revelation adds to growing criticism of Manchester United's transfer strategy in recent years, where several key players have been allowed to leave only to thrive elsewhere.
Fan Speculation Mounts
Since the interview surfaced, United supporters have been scrambling to identify which former player Szczesny could be referring to. The description matches several attackers who have left the club in recent seasons, each of whom has found success after their departure.
One thing remains clear: according to a top-level professional who faced him regularly, Manchester United let go of a truly special talent - and their rivals are grateful they did.
