Manchester United believe Sesko can work well with Hojlund
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, manchester united I think RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko can work well together with Rasmus Hojlund.
The Red Devils spent a lot of money bringing Hojlund from Atalanta last summer. He has had a stop-start campaign amid injuries, but has still impressed with 13 goals on the campaign.
Manchester United wants to incorporate another striker with a young profile and speaks with SPORTS GIFT, Jacobs said that Sesko is one of the big names on the radar for the summer transfer window.
The respected journalist added that there is a £43m release clause in Sesko's contract and that it would represent value and has a very high ceiling. United feel he and Hojlund can work very well together.
He said: “Sesko has a release clause of €50 million and Manchester United are happy to opt for a younger striker profile, which might not have been the case if Rasmus Hojlund had not been fit and started scoring goals. The thing about Sesko compared to Ferguson, Toney and others is that there is a real sense that the buyout clause, or a number close to it, represents value.”
“I think aside from the fact that the salaries would be significantly lower than Toney's and probably Ferguson's as well, there could be a financial argument for bringing in Sesko, who has a very high ceiling. “Manchester United also feels that Hojlund and Sesko can work very well together.”
Great talent
Sesko was one of United's top targets during his time at Red Bull Salzburg, but turned down their interest in a move to sister club Leipzig last summer. The Slovenian began his first campaign as a regular on the bench, but has become a key part of the Bundesliga team during the second half of the season.
The 20-year-old has 14 goals to his name to Hojlund's 13, but has played almost 800 fewer minutes than the Dane this season. Sesko definitely has huge potential and United could form a potent long-term attacking force if they can pair him with Hojlund. His buyout clause should be easily affordable.
The big question is whether they will be able to differentiate it from its competitors. first division rivals Arsenal They are also on the trail of the talented young shooter and have a clear advantage with Champions League Football almost guaranteed. United look unlikely to make it into the competition. They are 16 points behind the top four with six games remaining. This could be a potential drawback for them in their pursuit of the highly rated star.
