MU is in the race to win Benjamin Sesko with rival Newcastle. The Red Devils also have a backup plan if the “hunting” previously failed.
Benjamin Sesko is the top of Man United's top target this summer when they want to add a striker to replace Rasmus Hojlund – the striker only scored 4 goals in the Premier League last season. Sources close to say that the Slovenian player likes to turn to half red to Manchester than Newcastle, despite the injection of the Champions League.
However, Sesko costs more than £ 60 million. Meanwhile, Man United after spending £ 133.5 million to sign a contract with Bryan Mbeumo as well as Matheus Cunha, having difficulty mobilizing money to bring Sesko to Old Trafford.
Without Sesko, Man United could turn to the Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins. However, it is still unclear whether the Villa Park team is willing to sell the British star. In addition, the cost for immediate attention from Aston Villa in this deal is not less than 50 million pounds. This is still a number that makes it difficult for the Red Devils.
The backup plan for MU is Serhou Guirassy, a player playing for Dortmund. Few people know that he is the player with the most goals in the Champions League last season. The 29 -year -old striker scored 13 goals in 14 matches in the Champions League, surpassing names like Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. In addition to 13 goals in the European arena, Guirassy also scored 21 goals after 30 matches in the Bundesliga and 4 goals after 5 matches at FIFA Club World Cup.
Guirassy is an effective scoring player, possessing excellent speed and can contribute to creating an explosive attack next to players like Cunha and Mbeumo on Amorim's attack next season. Moreover, Dortmund's striker has an estimated market value of less than 40 million pounds. That makes him a much cheaper alternative than Sesko and Watkins.
The most surprising thing is that Guirassy does not receive the attention of the big teams this summer. According to Bild reported in May, PSG was interested in Guirassy, in order to replace Randal Kolo Muorni – who expected to leave the French capital. However, since then, all rumors about the transfer of the 29 -year -old player are silent. Synonymous, if Man United wanted to recruit the Dortmund star, they would not meet many competitors.
