The club is reportedly pushing hard to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko before the September 1 deadline, and they’re doing it without needing a fire sale of unwanted players. On paper, it looked like United were tight on funds after already spending big on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Benjamin Sesko has been linked with a move to Manchester United, and the striker's agent has already outlined the key criteria that he and his client will look for when deciding on his future

As The Manchester Evening News reported earlier this week, United are advancing on a deal to sign the Slovenia international before the transfer window slams shut. United have been in the market for a new centre forward all summer, with Sesko now their priority target.
