Man Utd's Pursuit of Sesko Signals Ambition in Attack
Manchester United are going all out to land Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, as the club pushes to inject new firepower into their attack ahead of the next season. Discussions are already underway with Sesko’s agents, and those close to the player suggest he’s keen on Old Trafford, even though Newcastle are hovering in the background. United view the 22-year-old Slovenia striker as the answer to their goal-scoring headaches. He’s impressed in the Bundesliga with his movement, finishing, and physical presence—traits United have sorely missed up front.
Newcastle might pose a challenge, but the lure of Manchester United and their revived ambitions seem to be tipping the scales. The Red Devils want to seal the deal soon, hoping to avoid a drawn-out saga. Fans are already debating Sesko’s fit in the squad: with Premier League experience at a premium, most are willing to take the gamble on a striker who’s rapidly rising up the ranks of European football.
Sweeping Changes: Departures, Arrivals, and Amorim’s New Order
The transfer window is buzzing, but it’s not all about arrivals. Outgoings are just as dramatic. Marcus Rashford’s surprising loan move to Barcelona sent shockwaves—there’s even a buy option included if all sides agree next summer. Long-time fixtures Jonny Evans, Christian Eriksen, and Victor Lindelof exited quietly as their contracts expired, ending an era for United’s veteran core.
The revamp doesn’t stop there. Alejandro Garnacho is close to leaving, potentially as part of a swap deal with either Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa or Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. These are big names and point to United’s intent to reshape their attack and midfield. Jadon Sancho and Antony—both headline signings in recent years—are also being ushered towards the exit, along with Tyrell Malacia. It’s a bold call from new coach Ruben Amorim, who’s not shying away from tough decisions.
United’s goalkeeper search is heating up as well. The club wants robust competition and backup for André Onana. Top of the wish list is Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian international currently at PSG. Landing Donnarumma, however, could cost up to €60 million. If that deal stalls, Nick Pope from Newcastle could be a short-term alternative, especially as Newcastle eyes Aaron Ramsdale as a replacement. The focus is unmistakable—Amorim wants no weak links or complacency between the sticks.
The squad’s new-found discipline is already making headlines. Luke Shaw, now one of the team’s senior voices, openly praised Amorim’s no-nonsense approach, saying, “There are no stragglers now. Everyone is switched on.” Training ground sources say the mood is sharper, sessions are more intense, and the standards are non-negotiable. The message from Amorim is clear: step up or move aside.
In terms of new faces, United have snapped up forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves, Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, and young Paraguayan talent Diego Leon from Cerro Porteño. Enzo Kana-Biyik also arrived, though he’s been immediately loaned to Lausanne Sport for development. With even more arrivals expected, United’s focus for now is sorting out the exits to balance the books and make room for fresh legs.
This summer, United look set for their biggest shake-up in years. If Sesko arrives and the outgoing list continues to grow, it’ll be a very different squad lining up at Old Trafford come August—one that matches Amorim’s vision of energy, hard work, and ambition, both on paper and on the pitch.
