Manchester United are actively scouting potential summer signings, with RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko and Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba emerging as key targets, according to reports.
Erik ten Hag is keen to strengthen his squad after a challenging season, with attacking reinforcements a priority. The Red Devils have been monitoring Slovenian forward Sesko, who has impressed in the Bundesliga this term.
Sesko's Rising Stock
The 20-year-old striker has attracted attention across Europe with his performances for Leipzig, scoring 11 goals in his debut Bundesliga season. Standing at 6'4", Sesko offers both physical presence and technical ability - qualities that could complement Rasmus Højlund in United's attack.
Midfield Reinforcement
In midfield, United are reportedly tracking Brighton's Carlos Baleba. The 20-year-old Cameroonian has adapted well to Premier League football since his £23m move from Lille last summer. His energy and ball-winning capabilities could provide competition for Casemiro in the defensive midfield role.
Summer Spending Plans
United's recruitment team face a busy summer as they look to rebuild under INEOS' new football structure. With Financial Fair Play constraints, the club may need to sell players before making significant signings. The futures of several first-team players remain uncertain as Ten Hag plans his squad for next season.
While no formal bids have been made for either player, United's interest appears genuine as they look to add young, dynamic players to their squad. The coming weeks could prove crucial in determining whether these potential deals progress.
