Manchester United are ramping up their pursuit of RB Leipzig's rising star Benjamin Sesko, as the Red Devils explore alternatives to Jude Bellingham. The 20-year-old Slovenian striker has caught the eye of top European clubs following his impressive performances in the Bundesliga.
Why Sesko Could Be the Perfect Fit for United
Standing at an imposing 6'4", Sesko combines physical dominance with technical finesse, making him an ideal candidate to bolster Erik ten Hag's attacking options. His 11 goals in all competitions this season demonstrate his growing threat at the highest level.
Transfer Battle Looms
United face stiff competition for Sesko's signature, with several Premier League rivals monitoring the situation. Leipzig are reluctant to sell but could be tempted by a fee in the region of £40-50 million – significantly less than Bellingham's valuation.
What This Means for United's Summer Plans
- Sesko represents a more affordable option than Bellingham
- His versatility allows him to play across the front line
- At 20, he fits United's strategy of investing in young talent
With the summer transfer window approaching, this developing story could become one of the sagas of the offseason as United look to strengthen their squad for a Champions League push.
