United are said to have made “informal contact” with RB Leipzig regarding a move for their 22-year-old striker. The Red Devils were previously thought to be unconvinced by Šeško who still needed “significant development” and did not justify Leipzig’s demands of over €75 million (£65.2 million, $88.2 million).

Manchester United make RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko their number one choice to come in as a new striker this summer.

The tried and tested option is Ollie Watkins. He embraced the rigour of the lower English divisions during his youth at Exeter City and Brentford, exploding at the Bees with a 25-goal Championship campaign in the 2019/20 season aged 24. His reward was a record £28 million move to Aston Villa.
