Manchester United's summer transfer plans have hit a stumbling block as deals for Benjamin Sesko and Carlos Baleba appear increasingly unlikely. The Red Devils, under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, are now forced to explore alternative options to strengthen their squad.
Sesko Deal Stalls Amid RB Leipzig Commitment
The highly-rated Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko, who was a top target for United, now seems set to remain with RB Leipzig. Despite initial interest from Old Trafford, the 21-year-old has reportedly decided to continue his development in Germany after an impressive debut Bundesliga season.
Baleba Move Falters as Brighton Stand Firm
Meanwhile, United's pursuit of Lille midfielder Carlos Baleba has also encountered difficulties. The Cameroonian talent, who joined Brighton last summer, has become an integral part of Roberto De Zerbi's squad. The Seagulls' reluctance to sell has forced United to look elsewhere for midfield reinforcements.
Ten Hag's Transfer Troubles Continue
This double setback comes at a challenging time for Erik ten Hag, who is under pressure to rebuild United's squad after a disappointing Premier League campaign. The Dutch manager must now pivot to alternative targets as he attempts to reshape his squad before the new season.
With the transfer window heating up, United fans will be eager to see which players emerge as the club's new priorities. The coming weeks could prove crucial in determining whether Ten Hag gets the reinforcements he needs to mount a stronger challenge next season.
