Manchester United have set their sights on RB Leipzig's rising star Benjamin Šeško as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the next season. The 20-year-old Slovenian striker has impressed in the Bundesliga, attracting attention from several top clubs.
According to reports, the Red Devils have been closely monitoring Šeško's performances and view him as a potential long-term solution to their goalscoring needs. The young forward has netted 11 goals in all competitions this season, showcasing his clinical finishing and physical presence.
Newcastle Also in the Race
Manchester United aren't the only Premier League club interested in Šeško's services. Newcastle United have also been tracking the Slovenian international, setting up a potential transfer battle between the two English sides.
Šeško's current contract with RB Leipzig runs until 2028, meaning any interested club would need to pay a significant fee to secure his signature. The German club are known for their tough negotiating stance, having previously sold top talents for substantial profits.
What Šeško Could Bring to Old Trafford
The 6'4" striker would add a different dimension to Manchester United's attack with his aerial ability and physicality. His combination of technical skill and raw power makes him an attractive prospect for Premier League football.
United's recruitment team have reportedly been impressed by Šeško's rapid development since joining Leipzig from sister club Red Bull Salzburg last summer. His ability to play both as a central striker and in wider positions adds to his appeal.
With the summer transfer window approaching, this story is one to watch as Manchester United look to rebuild under their new ownership structure and potential managerial changes.
