Manchester United has struggled in recent years for a proven goals of goals, in which Alan Shearer gave his opinion about why Rasmus Hojlund just did not find it
Benjamin Sesko could be the solution for the goals of Manchester United in the new season if the Red Devils Newcastle United can beat for his signature. The RB Leipzig striker is impressed by the Bundesliga at the age of 22.
He managed 39 goals in 87 games for his current club, with whom he was joined in 2023. As a result, a number of Premier League clubs have been interested in the Slovenia International this summer, with United and the Magpies currently the struggle to secure his services.
Rasmus Hojlund, who is currently leading the line at Old Trafford, did not live up to the £ 72 million reimbursement that United had agreed with Atalanta two years ago and found the back of the net only four times in 32 Premier League performances in the past term. However, the blame for the gloomy 16th place of United last season is not only on Hojlund, with Newcastle legend Alan Shearer who explains how link-up Play has been a real problem for the Red Devils for years.
Speaking at the match of the day in 2023, while Erik ten Hag was in charge of United, Shearer was mainly critical of Antony's service to Hojlund, and emphasized how something was “drastically wrong” in how the players communicated and operated as a team. He explained: “Antony in Hojlund, six fit in which five games?
“The entire season, [Alejandro] Garnacho, five steps that should happen per match, let alone five or six games. Something drastically wrong and they will never score goals until they improve it. “
At the time of the analysis of Shearer, Hojlund had also received the least passes of a Premier League striker in 2023/24, as a result of which the teammates could not find the young Dane.
However, an elite world specialist now claims that Sesko could be the answer to the problems that are confronted in the red half of Manchester long before the arrival of Ruben Amorim.
Speaking of Sesko's strengths, the anonymous source said to the BBC: “One of his strengths is quickly getting the ball. He can hold on to him, hold defenders, he can give it to the winger, he can give it to the 10. He is good for the goal. He has a good attitude. He is rich.”
However, the expert also warned that, since Sesko is still shy for an end product because of his age and experience, he may not have an immediate impact with Old Trafford, and may need time to form himself in the English top flight. They added: “You would not expect him to run the ground immediately, but in six to 12 months it will be fine and you have a very good player.”
Although Shearer has insisted that the passing game of United needs a large makeover in the last third, he may be a bittersweet in the prospect of signing Sesko, given his ties with Newcastle who are also fighting for his signature.
With the target of Liverpool Alexander Isak with the club, while the Swede wants to explore his options away from St. James' park, the Magpies are looking for a fresh no. 9. They may have to look somewhere else because Sesko is said to have prioritized a movement to Manchester instead of Tynide. United has started conversations with De Hoop to conclude a deal with Leipzig.
It is thought that Sesko may be allowed to unite if the Leipzigs party can satisfy their Talisman appreciation, which is thought to be in the region of £ 60 million to £ 70 million plus add-ons.
Sesko is not the only star that Manchester United and Newcastle fought this summer, in which the Sun suggests that both clubs are also investigating the possibility of bringing VFB Stuttgart -Spits, Nick Woltemade, to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old has been on the Radar of Bayern Munich all summer, but with the Bavarians who recently closed a £ 65.5 million deal with Liverpool for Luis Diaz, they can now leave their chase and leave the door open for a new battle between the northeast and the northwest.
Woltemade was currently appreciated at £ 40 million and impressed those roots last season, and took 17 goals and three assists in 33 outings. He also shone clearly at this year's UEFA European U21 championship and won the Top Scorer Award with Germany with six goals to his name.
