According daily mail, manchester united could make a bold move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko next summer.
The Mancunian giants have spent big over the past few years. transfer window. They made 5 high profile signings including Joshua Zirkzee who was brought in to compete with Rasmus Hojlund for the center forward position.
Zirkzee has scored just one goal since leaving Bologna and daily mail It seems to suggest that United are already planning another striker. Apparently, they are interested in getting Sesko.
The 21-year-old signed a new contract with Leipzig during the last transfer window after rejecting multiple proposals, but is expected to leave the Bundesliga team at the end of the current season.
Impressive blow
United were linked with a number of high-profile forwards but opted to sign Zirkzee after his 12-goal season at Bologna. He scored a late goal against Fulham in the first game but has since been prone to wasting clear opportunities.
Rasmus Hojlund can be considered in the same category. He has had scoring streaks, but he has lacked the consistency to become an elite shooter. This could prompt the United board to spend money on another centre-forward next summer.
Sesko would be an outstanding signing for United, judging by his development. Initially it was compared with Erling Haalandbut the youngster has a higher ceiling with his passing range, high pressing and ability to create opportunities for his teammates.
Leipzig canceled its £55 million release clause with a contract renewal before the European Championship and interested European teams will now have to pay a significantly higher fee to lure him away from the German team next summer.
Zirkzee has failed to break through after a perfect start against the Cottagers and it will be interesting to see if United will consider his departure after just one season if they were to land Sesko from Leipzig for big money.
