Manchester United has been associated with a movement for Benjamin Sesko, but it seems that Ruben Amorim will not be satisfied if they only sign the young Slovenian
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim will be aware of signing two more players, even if they close a deal for Benjamin Sesko. The Red Devils strive for the RB Leipzig Forward, which is also sought by Newcastle United, and would be the front runners for his signature.
Amorim has already been busy in the transfer window and closed a deal for £ 62.5 million Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha, before he postponed another £ 71 million on Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo. With the form of United on the floor since he took over from the fired Erik ten Hag, Amorim still wants to strengthen his team.
Sesko, 22, could be united, no less than £ 70 million, which would take their expenses beyond £ 200 million. Nevertheless, recent reports indicate that Amorim wants to add more depth to his team.
According to the sun, when the Red Devils secure the signature of Sesko, Amorim will still want to add two players to his team. One will be a backup keeper of Andre Onana.
It is understood that the shot stopper of Antwerp, Senne Lammens, is in sight at this present moment. However, the future of Onana as number 1 was also questioned when United was associated with a surprise movement for Paris Saint-Germain no. 1 Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Italian only has one year left at his deal in the Parc des Princes, but talks about a new deal in the French capital that recently hit a wall. While the news from Manchester Evening recently stated that Onana was informed that his position because United's number 1 is still intact, the Shot stopper often has enough to be desired.
Onana, 29, was signed in the summer of 2023 by Ten Hag from Inter Milan for £ 47 million. Although there have been some positive moments, the Cameroonian has been largely inconsistent.
In the meantime, the second choice goalkeeper Altay Bayindir can mainly be seen in the League Cup and the FA Cup. Although he received the number 1 shirt when he signed Fenerbahce for £ 4.3 million in the same summer, the Turkish international has only made four Premier League performances.
However, it is clear that a movement for Sesko has given priority over everything else. Fabrizio Romano recently claimed that United will send a “formal offer” to Leipzig, if or when the player indicates that he wants to move to Old Trafford.
Newcastle is still connected to him and recently rejected an £ 110 million from Liverpool for Alexander Isak. But in and under rumors, the current United attacker Rasmus Hojlund promised to stay a red and compete for his place.
De Dane recently said: “I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to stay and fight for my place, no matter what happens. The competition is fine, it sharpens me.
“I am more than ready. I feel sharp, so I welcome everything that comes. I think it is good with the competition and it only sharpens the team.
“I am still very young. I think people sometimes forget that. I am only 22. Of course, not every striker at the age of 22 scores 100 goals. But I have learned a lot, I think you can see in my game.”
