Manchester United is looking to boost their attack by signing a proven goalscorer, exploring deals for Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko. The club has opened informal talks with RB Leipzig for the 22-year-old Slovenia international, after their initial approach for Aston Villa's Watkins was rebuffed due to the high price tag. United now faces competition from Newcastle for Sesko's signature, with the potential departure of their current striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool. The club is in desperate need of a prolific striker, having only scored 44 goals in the Premier League last season.
Manchester United have set their sights on RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko and have engaged in initial talks with the club and player's representatives. Although Newcastle United is also interested in the 22-year-old, Sesko is believed to prefer a move to Manchester United. The interest in Sesko has been spurred by recruitment director Christopher Vivell, who previously scouted him for Red Bull Salzburg at the age of 16.
Manchester United and Newcastle have been competing for the signature of RB Leipzig star striker Benjamin Sesko. However, with talks between Newcastle and Sesko's agent falling through, it seems like the Brazilian international is now on his way to Old Trafford. Newcastle are now looking at other options such as Rodrigo Muniz and Ollie Watkins as potential replacements for Alexander Isak, who has yet to make a decision about his future at St James' Park. Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made it clear that he only wants players who are eager to join the club.
According to recent reports, Manchester United may have a chance at securing highly rated striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig if they are willing to include Rasmus Hojlund in the deal. Despite interest from Newcastle United, Sesko has indicated a preference for joining United. However, formal negotiations have yet to take place, and RB Leipzig is open to selling Sesko if Hojlund is included in the transaction.
As the transfer window nears the end, Manchester United and Newcastle have both made moves to sign RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. With the deadline fast approaching, both clubs have submitted offers and are hoping to secure the Slovenian's services. While Newcastle have been the early favorites, reports reveal that Man Utd are now prioritizing a move for Sesko, with the player expected to make a decision soon. However, a third option remains unlikely for the striker.
