Manchester United's search for a new manager has taken another dramatic turn as club legend Gary Neville delivered a stark warning about potential candidate Ruben Amorim, while the Red Devils simultaneously ramp up their interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
Neville's Stark Amorim Warning
The former United defender turned Sky Sports pundit didn't hold back when discussing the Sporting Lisbon manager's potential appointment. "He's not for Manchester United," Neville declared emphatically during his podcast appearance, sending shockwaves through the Old Trafford faithful.
Neville's concerns stem from Amorim's perceived lack of experience at the very highest level, questioning whether the 39-year-old Portuguese tactician possesses the necessary pedigree to handle the immense pressure that comes with managing one of football's most scrutinised clubs.
United's Striking Solution Emerges
While the managerial saga continues, United have identified their primary striking target for the summer window. Benjamin Sesko, the towering Slovenian international who has impressed at RB Leipzig, has emerged as the club's number one priority to bolster their attacking options.
The 20-year-old striker has attracted significant attention across Europe after netting 11 goals in his debut Bundesliga season, with his combination of physical presence and technical ability making him an ideal candidate to share the goalscoring burden with Rasmus Hojlund.
Summer of Change at Old Trafford
With INEOS now firmly in control of football operations, this summer represents a crucial rebuilding period for the Red Devils:
- Final decision on Erik ten Hag's future expected imminently
- Ruben Amorim remains on shortlist despite Neville's reservations
- Benjamin Sesko identified as primary striking target
- Significant budget allocated for summer reinforcements
The coming weeks promise to be pivotal in shaping Manchester United's direction for the 2024/25 campaign and beyond, with both managerial and playing personnel decisions carrying enormous significance for the club's future trajectory.
