Sky Reporter Claims Man United Could Rival Chelsea For “Breakout Star” Who Is Following In Sesko’s Footsteps

BACK David Tully Oct 29th 2025 Manchester United are keeping an eye on Red Bull Salzburg winger Kerim Alajbegovic, according to Sky Sports Germany reporter Ben Heckner. The journalist claims that the Red Devils are “monitoring” the progress of the “breakout star”, who has had an impressive start to the season for both club and country. Alajbegovic has made his first-team breakthrough in Austria with Salzburg, much like current United forward Benjamin Sesko did. The 18-year-old  has scored 6 goals and provided 1 assist in 20 appearances so far this campaign for his club, and he also stole the headlines when he played for Bosnia last month. Alajbegovic became the country’s youngest ever goalscorer when he found the back of the net during a 6-0 win over San Marino. Man United will have competition for the teenager Heckner says that, along with the Red Devils, Chelsea and Porto have also been watching Alajbegovic in recent weeks, but another team currently holds all the cards. The Bosnian international joined Salzburg from Bayer Leverkusen for €2m back in July, and the Bundesliga side have a “buyback clause”. Considering how well Alajbegovic has started the season, it would not be a surprise if Leverkusen attempt to bring the player back to Germany sooner rather than later.
