Manchester United linked with highly rated forward

Manchester United may be plotting an early swoop for RB Leipzig’s rising star Benjamin Sesko, as pressure mounts on new signing Joshua Zirkzee to find his form.

Brought in from Bologna for £36.5 million this summer, Zirkzee was seen as the solution to lighten the load on Rasmus Højlund. However, after a promising debut goal against Fulham, the Dutch striker has failed to deliver, raising questions about his future at Old Trafford.

With rumors swirling about Zirkzee potentially heading to Juventus on loan, Manchester United have reportedly shifted their focus to Sesko, one of Europe’s hottest young strikers.

The 21-year-old Slovenian has been turning heads with 18 goals for Leipzig last season and is now back on the Red Devils’ radar. But with a hefty €65 million release clause and the desire to play Champions League football, will United’s shaky start to the season jeopardize their chances of landing Sesko?

The hunt for a reliable striker is on at Old Trafford, and as Zirkzee’s future hangs in the balance, United’s pursuit of Sesko could mark the beginning of a mid-season striker shake-up.
