Stewart Downing believes that MU can buy another striker, despite signing a contract with Benjamin Sesko for £ 74 million.
Last week, Benjamin Sesko completed the transfer to Old Trafford after refusing an invitation from Newcastle. The 22 -year -old Slovenia is expected to become the No. 1 choice of the Red Man in the center of Ruben Amorim's squad, he is about to debut in the opening match of the Premier League against Arsenal.
Coach Amorim agreed to MU to recruit Sesko after the difficulties of Rasmus Hojlund since moving from Atalanta for £ 72 million. In addition to signing a contract with Sesko, MU also brought Maheus Cuha and Bryan Mbeumo to Old Trafford this summer.

Stewart Downing believes that MU can recruit Ollie Watkins. |
The focus of MU in the last two weeks of the transfer period seems to be the liquidation of the player, when Amorim hopes to sell Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony. But the former British winger, Stewart Downing said that MU could make a big contract before the transfer period was closed. He said:
“Who knows, Ollie Watkins can join MU. You never know, and then MU suddenly becomes a much stronger team than the present.”
Watkins was contacted to Old Trafford before MU spent £ 74 million for Sesko. Aston Villa rejected the offer to buy Watkins from Arsenal in January, they wanted to receive about 60 million pounds if selling this English player this summer.
In addition to advising Watkins to move to MU, Downing also believes that he will be a wise contract for Newcastle.
