Manchester United are reportedly setting their sights on RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko as they aim to strengthen their forward line ahead of the new season. The 20-year-old Slovenian has been in fine form in the Bundesliga, catching the attention of several top European clubs.
With Anthony Martial's future uncertain and Rasmus Hojlund needing support up front, United see Sesko as an ideal addition. His physical presence, technical ability and eye for goal make him a perfect fit for Erik ten Hag's system.
Why Sesko Fits United's Needs
The young striker has all the attributes to succeed in the Premier League:
- Standing at 6'4", he offers a formidable aerial threat
- His movement and link-up play have improved significantly
- He's shown composure in front of goal with 11 Bundesliga goals this season
- At just 20, he has enormous potential for development
Competition for His Signature
United aren't alone in their interest, with several Premier League rivals also monitoring Sesko's situation. His €50 million release clause makes him an attractive proposition for clubs looking for value in today's inflated market.
RB Leipzig would prefer to keep their young star, but may struggle to resist a substantial offer from England. The player himself is said to be open to a new challenge, particularly in the Premier League.
United's Summer Rebuild
The Red Devils are expected to be active in the transfer market after a disappointing season. Alongside a striker, they're prioritising:
- A new centre-back
- Central midfield reinforcements
- Potential right-back cover
With INEOS now overseeing football operations, United fans are hoping for a more strategic approach to recruitment this summer.
