Manchester United are desperate for a proven goalscorer after Rasmus Hojlund’s inconsistent performances failed to solve their attacking woes last season.

Aside from captain Bruno Fernandes, United struggled for goals, with Amad Diallo’s injury also limiting their offensive threat during a challenging campaign.
RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko is willing to join United in a high-profile summer move.
The 21-year-old Slovenian is one of Europe’s most promising strikers, and Leipzig value him at a hefty £77.5 million.
Despite the price tag, United view Sesko as a long-term solution with elite potential and the highest ceiling among reported targets.
He is seen as a better fit than Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, who is 29 and viewed as a short-term option, reports Faithful Mufc.
Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson is another possibility, but like Hojlund, he lacks consistency and finishing quality at the highest level.
Sesko’s raw ability, physicality, and goal-scoring instincts could transform United’s front line, provided the club are willing to invest big.
The Red Devils have already spent £70m on Bryan Mbeumo and must now decide whether Sesko is worth the additional outlay.
In the coming weeks, a clearer picture of United’s transfer priorities and budget strategy will likely emerge.
