Manchester United's summer transfer plans have hit a major stumbling block, with RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko reportedly turning down a move to Old Trafford. The 21-year-old Slovenian international, seen as a top target for Erik ten Hag's side, has instead opted to extend his stay in Germany.
Fernandes Future Uncertain Amid Transfer Speculation
In another worrying development for Red Devils fans, captain Bruno Fernandes has sparked speculation about his future after admitting he'll consider his options following Portugal's Euro 2024 campaign. The midfield maestro told reporters: "I'm not thinking about other things at the moment. Obviously, it doesn't just depend on me."
United's Striker Search Continues
With Sesko off the table, United are now forced to explore alternative attacking options. The club had identified the young forward as their prime target to bolster their frontline, but must now reassess their strategy in the transfer market.
This double setback comes at a crucial time for the club, with new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team looking to make their mark on the football operation. The rejection from Sesko and uncertainty surrounding Fernandes will test their resolve early in the transfer window.
