Manchester United have intensified their interest in RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko, as the Red Devils look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
The 21-year-old Slovenian striker has caught the eye of several top European clubs following an impressive debut campaign in the Bundesliga, where he netted 14 goals in 31 appearances.
Why Sesko Fits Ten Hag's Vision
Standing at 6'4", Sesko combines physical presence with technical ability, making him an ideal candidate to lead United's frontline. His pace, aerial dominance and clinical finishing have drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland during his Salzburg days.
Competition for Signature
United aren't alone in their pursuit, with Arsenal and Chelsea also monitoring the situation. Leipzig are reluctant to sell but could be tempted by an offer in the region of £55 million – a figure that wouldn't deter United's new minority owners INEOS from making their mark.
What This Means for United's Squad
- Potential long-term solution at striker
- Allows Hojlund to develop without excessive pressure
- Provides different attacking option to Rashford and Garnacho
With pre-season preparations beginning soon, United's hierarchy are keen to secure their primary targets early, and Sesko appears to be moving up their shortlist.
