Manchester United will have the opportunity to sign Benjamin Sesco at the transfer window this summer.
The Red Devils were particularly keen on overhauling the advance line, which struggled to deliver in the 2024/25 campaign.
Amad Diallo, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee collected 21 Premier League goals in the previous quarter. New boys Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo registered 35 goals in comparison.
Manchester United can sign Arsenal target Benjamin Sesco
Christian Faulk now reports that United can take advantage of Arsenal’s decision to focus on signing Viktor Gyoker.
Christopher Vivel, a former employee of RB Leipzig, is paying attention to this situation. However, Reuben Amorim’s men must fork large fees to enter the negotiation table.
“One door closes and another opens! Arsenal will retract Benjamin šeško’s pursuit, creating an opportunity for Manchester United.” Bayern Transfer News experts have notified only of catch-offsides.
“The Red Devils weren’t the front row of the club and players, but there are key executives involved in all of this: United’s scouting chief Christopher Vivell.
“The striker (22) is still very young. He can leave a good offer. I think Leipzig is happy to hear he receives a fee of close to 70 million euros (60.6 million pounds).”
High price tags are not without justification. Sesko was one of the most deadly finishers in Bundesliga in the previous quarter, earning 13 top flight goals (and 21 in all competitions).
| Player | League goals | All competition goals | Per target (all competitions) |
| Benjamin Sesco | 13 | twenty one | 155.14 |
| Bruno Fernandez | 8 | 19 | 259.57 |
| Amad Diallo | 8 | 11 | 250.72 |
| Alejandro Garnacho | 6 | 11 | 324.36 |
| Rasmus Hojlund | 4 | 10 | 332.2 |

To put that into perspective, only Bruno Fernandez (8) and Amado Diallo (8) approached the Slovakian league totals in 2024/25.
Man Utd needs a capable striker
Manchester United have made great strides with the signatures of Mbeumo and Cunha.
However, the lack of high quality firepower passing through the middle is something that needs to be addressed in the window.
He scored goals every 332.2 minutes at Hojlund, and scored in 322.28 minutes by Joshua Zirkzee.
Of course, there is a better striker than Sesco, but the 22-year-old represents a marked improvement in his united counterpart.
RB Leipzig will sell to the Premier League
RB Leipzig is not ideal to thwart the movement of top scorers this summer.
Fork goes on to add that the German outfit is aiming to bring over £86 million to players’ sales. This will allow Benjamin Sesco to move into the Premier League.
“It’s worth noting that Leipzig will have to sell players this summer. They have a goal to bring in 100 million euros (£86.6 million). And having only two players in this range will make the club money.” A Bundesliga insider said.
“Of course, Xavi Simons is such a footballer, and the other is Benjamin šeško. So the club may have to sell both players in the transfer window this summer.
“That’s why Manchester United will definitely be an option. Sheshko is a Premier League fan and is ready to make this next step.”
