According to journalist Ben Jacobs, manchester united They are expected to be in the race to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko next transfer window.
The Red Devils are looking for a new centre-forward and the injury-plagued Antony Martial is likely to leave when his contract expires in June this year.
Sesko has been linked with Man United on many occasions and Jacobs has said The united stance that the club will be in the conversation for the forward.
He said: “There is a feeling within Manchester United that Rasmus will improve his tally next season. I hope United are in the conversation for Sesko. Martial leaves. Greenwood, United, are likely to receive a fee.”
Great potential
United made a huge outlay to land Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta last summer. The Dane has had a mixed debut season amid injuries, but has still scored 13 goals for the club.
The Dane is currently the absolute candidate for the number 9 position, but the coach Erik ten Hag He will want a quality young forward, who can compete for positions with the Copenhagen graduate.
Sesko seems like an ideal candidate for the position. Like Hojlund, he has scored 13 goals for Leipzig, but his situation has been very different, having initially been a regular substitute.
The Slovenian ace likes to work hard for his team on and off the ball. He likes to put pressure on his opponents regularly and has scored in each 4th shot goal in the Bundesliga this season.
He could be signed for his current termination clause of £43 million and it remains to be seen if United can persuade him to join before their match. first division rivals including Arsenal.
United are currently on course for a season without Champions League football and this could make it difficult to convince Sesko to make a move. The striker may also want to be guaranteed a starting position.
