Moises Caicedo has humiliated Manchester United once again as they fell to an opening day defeat to Brighton, just 18 months after the Red Devils backed out of a transfer move to sign him.
The midfielder had risen to the top of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's list of targets as he attempted to improve his options in the position. The Ecuadorian had become one of the highest-rated talents in South America during his time with The Independiente del Valle.
His performances attracted the eye of United, with the Manchester Evening News reporting in December 2020 that club chiefs had opted to target a move for him. But just a month later, any hopes of doing a deal for him were dead, with United being the ones to pull the plug.
