Manchester United have identified RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko as a prime summer target, as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of the new season.
The 20-year-old Slovenian has been in impressive form for Leipzig, attracting interest from several top European clubs. However, United are reportedly leading the chase, with Chelsea and Arsenal also monitoring the situation.
Why Sesko Fits Ten Hag's Vision
Standing at 6'4", Sesko combines physicality with technical ability, making him an ideal modern striker. His height, pace, and clinical finishing have drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland, and Ten Hag sees him as a long-term solution to United's goal-scoring struggles.
The Transfer Battle Heats Up
While United appear to be in pole position, Chelsea and Arsenal are ready to challenge for his signature. Leipzig are expected to demand a fee in the region of £50 million, with the player himself reportedly open to a Premier League move.
United's need for a prolific striker is urgent, with Anthony Martial's future uncertain and Rasmus Højlund still adapting to English football. Sesko could be the missing piece in Ten Hag's rebuild.
