Leeds United made headlines with the sale of Charlie Cresswell to Toulouse for £3.8million in July, dividing opinions among the fanbase. However, his recent performance against Toulouse raised concerns.
The 49ers took charge of the summer transfer window at Leeds, overseeing several significant departures as the club addressed outstanding transfer payments from previous ownership. Charlie Cresswell was one of the players to leave permanently, joining Toulouse for a hefty fee.
After a promising start with a clean sheet against Nantes, Cresswell faced a tough challenge against Marseille. Unfortunately, the former Leeds defender had a night to forget. His mistakes led to two goals for Mason Greenwood and an own goal before being substituted in the second half.
Critics were not kind to Cresswell, giving him a harsh 2/10 rating for his performance. They highlighted his errors that directly resulted in Marseille’s goals, emphasizing his struggles to play out from the back and rash defending.
Overall, Cresswell’s costly mistakes overshadowed his potential, highlighting areas of improvement he needs to address to succeed at his new club.
