Captain Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United wants to see more signing sessions before the transfer window closes and RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is their best target
Manchester United wants to go back this season after their worst Premier League finish. United finished 15th last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League after losing the Europa League final at Tottenham.
They have already strengthened their team with additions from Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon, while Marcus Rashford joined Barcelona and Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have been released.
Much more income and expenses are expected before the transfer window is concluded, with Ruben Amorim random will of Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.

Sesko Boost
Manchester United has received a boost in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko after it turned out that the RB Leipzig teammate of the striker Lois Openda will not transfer to Sunderland.
United and Newcastle are both interested in signing Sesko, who yielded 21 goals in 45 games in all competitions last season. Colleague Leipzig Striker Openda was heavily connected to Sunderland and it is unlikely that they would have had two forwards left in the same window.
Sky Sports now reports that Openda will not come to Sunderland and that Leipzig will probably sell Sesko instead.
The transfer question of Fernandes
Captain Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United has said that the club should add “more quality” to the transfer market this summer.
“It has improved, but it is not where we want it to be,” Fernandes said after United 2-2 with Everton in the preseason. “It is a football game, there is always passion there. Whatever happens, happens. There was nothing spicy there, it is normal, it is part of the game. It has been positive [the US tour] And it's good to create a bond with the players.
“We looked a bit lazy today and we had to change that. We needed more quality to get everyone a little more and to do more to get into the starting line-up. I think that is what the club and the manager try to do and hopefully we can get one or two players to help with that.”
Rank
Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer is convinced that Benjamin Sesko will be a success if he will come to Manchester United this summer.
When asked if Sesko has the skills to thrive in England, Shearer said to Amazon Prime: “I think, I think it is a matter of whom he can pay for him. There is no doubt that this football club has a history of making an absolute fortune about transfers and this man could be the next one that comes in the Premier League.
“Either foot – left or right – which is great to see. The working speed, the work of the ball, he all has things and he has a very good technique, a good balance and I don't think there is doubt in my thoughts that and he looks very comfortable in the Premier League. I think he has a lot to learn, but he can undoubtedly learn.”
