Manchester United are preparing for a significant summer rebuild, with RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko and Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo emerging as key targets. The Red Devils are keen to bolster their attacking options under Erik ten Hag, who is under pressure to deliver results next season.
Sesko: The Rising Star on United's Radar
Slovenian international Benjamin Sesko has caught the eye of several top European clubs following his impressive performances for RB Leipzig. The 20-year-old striker, who stands at an imposing 6'4", has been compared to Erling Haaland due to his physicality and clinical finishing.
United scouts have reportedly monitored Sesko's progress throughout the season, with the club now ready to make a formal approach. Leipzig are likely to demand a fee in excess of £40 million for their prized asset.
Mbeumo: Premier League-Proven Talent
Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo has also emerged as a serious target for the Old Trafford club. The Cameroon international has been one of the Bees' standout performers this season, contributing 15 goals and assists in the Premier League.
Mbeumo's versatility - he can play on either wing or as a central striker - makes him particularly attractive to Ten Hag, who values flexible attacking options. The 24-year-old's Premier League experience could see him adapt quickly to United's system.
Transfer Strategy Takes Shape
United's interest in both players signals a shift in their transfer strategy, focusing on younger talents with high potential rather than established superstars. The club's new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is believed to be driving this more sustainable approach to squad building.
With Anthony Martial expected to depart and questions remaining over Jadon Sancho's future, United could make moves for both Sesko and Mbeumo if funds allow. The club will need to balance these potential signings with Financial Fair Play considerations.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see how aggressively United pursue these targets in their bid to return to the Premier League's elite.
