Manchester United are poised to make their first major move of the summer transfer window, with RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško emerging as their primary attacking target.
The Red Devils have identified the 20-year-old Slovenian international as the perfect candidate to bolster their frontline, with talks reportedly advancing well between the clubs.
Rashford's Uncertain Future
While United push for Šeško's signature, Marcus Rashford's position at the club appears increasingly uncertain. The England international, who struggled for form last season, is attracting serious interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG view Rashford as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappé, who is expected to complete his move to Real Madrid. This development could pave the way for Rashford's departure from his boyhood club.
Šeško: The Rising Star
Benjamin Šeško has emerged as one of Europe's most promising young strikers after an impressive debut season in the Bundesliga. Standing at 6'4", the powerful forward combines physical presence with technical ability that has drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland.
His release clause of approximately £55 million makes him an attractive proposition for United, who are looking to strengthen their squad within Financial Fair Play constraints.
What This Means for United
If both deals materialise, it would represent a significant shift in United's attacking strategy:
- Youth over experience: Šeško at 20 represents a long-term investment
- Wage bill reduction: Rashford's departure would free up substantial funds
- Tactical flexibility: Šeško offers a different profile to current options
Erik ten Hag is determined to reshape his squad after a disappointing Premier League campaign, with attacking reinforcements being a top priority.
The coming weeks are likely to be decisive as United look to secure their targets early in the transfer window, potentially signalling the beginning of a new era at Old Trafford.
