Man Utd are reportedly interested in signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who was a previous target for rivals Arsenal.
Ruben Amorim wants to bring in a striker this summer as he aims to add more goals to his squad. He has already added Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, but the side is in desperate need of a number nine.
Rasmus Hojlund scored just four goals in the Premier League last season, sparking rumours that Man Utd want to replace him. However, the list of potential striker targets is getting thinner, especially considering that Arsenal have won the race for Viktor Gyokeres.
Benjamin Sesko has been linked to Man Utd in recent days, and the Red Devils are discussing a potential move. Man Utd fans took to X to react to the news…

Who else could Man Utd sign up front?
Other than Sesko, there is a Premier League striker who has emerged as a target for the Red Devils, and it is somewhat of an unlikely option.
Recent reports have suggested that Man Utd want to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who could leave Stamford Bridge seeing as the Blues already signed Liam Delap, and Joao Pedro this summer.
Jackson had a good season last year, he netted 10 goals in 30 Premier League games. The reports have suggested that he would cost around £60m, with a swap deal potentially on the cards as the Blues are keen on Alejandro Garnacho this summer.
