Manchester United is close to the contract called Benjamin Sesko, but a warning was given to the Old Trafford team when they prepared to close the striker of RB Leipzig.
Man United received a warning about the Benjamin Sesko deal
Benjamin Sesko is said to have chosen to join Man United instead of Newcastle, although both teams have sent a proposal to recruit Slovenia player. If nothing changes at the last minute, the team of coach Ruben Amorim will be the winner of this race. The young striker is expected to bring a new breeze to the attack that struggled last season, where Rasmus Hojlund had only 4 goals in the Premier League in a difficult season at Old Trafford.
However, Man United is also keeping an eye on another name: Ollie Watkins. The main striker of Aston Villa and the England team is said to be willing to move to play under Amorim. And according to the former legendary assistant Rene Meulensteen, who used to be Sir Alex Ferguson's right arm, Watkins was even a safer choice than Sesko.

“The Benjamin Sesko recruits the same as when United signed a contract with Hojlund. If he shines from the first 3 or 4 matches, that's great. But if not?
Hojlund used to play very well in Atalanta, in a suitable system. But when he arrived at the Premier League, he had to adapt. Sesko, too. The Bundesliga is very different from the Premier League. Does he have the potential? 100%. But Sesko is young, developing and obviously not a complete version ”.
Meulensteen emphasized that if compared to a name like Watkins, who not only worked but also possesses similar qualities Sesko, the difference lies in the experience of playing in the Premier League.
“Watkins was seasoned in this tournament and it was invaluable. Even Sesko could be even more expensive than Watkins.”
Even so, Manchester United is still speeding up the progress to complete the contract with Sesko before entering the great battle with Arsenal on August 17, marking the start of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
