Manchester United are reportedly setting their sights on a host of new signings this summer, with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko emerging as key targets.
Erik ten Hag is eager to bolster his attacking options after a mixed season, and the Red Devils are ready to splash the cash to secure top-tier talent. Watkins, who enjoyed a stellar campaign with Aston Villa, is high on their wishlist, while Sesko’s impressive form in the Bundesliga has also caught their attention.
Who Are United’s Top Targets?
Ollie Watkins: The England international has been in scintillating form, netting 19 Premier League goals last season. His versatility and work rate make him an attractive option for Ten Hag’s system.
Benjamin Sesko: The young Slovenian striker has been turning heads with his performances for RB Leipzig. Standing at 6’4", his physical presence and technical ability could add a new dimension to United’s attack.
Other Names in the Frame
United are also monitoring several other forwards, including:
- Ivan Toney: The Brentford star remains a viable option despite his recent suspension.
- Victor Osimhen: The Napoli hitman has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, though his price tag could be a stumbling block.
What’s Next for United?
With the transfer window heating up, United’s hierarchy will need to act swiftly to secure their top targets. Competition for these players is fierce, and Ten Hag will be hoping to avoid another summer of missed opportunities.
Will Watkins or Sesko be wearing the famous red shirt next season? Only time will tell.
