According to The Sun, Ollie Watkins wants to move to Manchester United if the Reds cannot sign a contract with Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
MU has now made an offer worth 85 million euros (£ 73.8 million) to sign a contract with Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, but this Bundesliga club is also considering the same offer from Newcastle. Sesko has not yet made its final decision on his future, although sources in Slovenia on Friday last week said the 22 -year -old chose to join Newcastle.
MU has alternative options for Sesko, who scored 13 goals in the Bundesliga last season. In case the 22 -year -old striker refuses to move to Old Trafford, the Red Man will target Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa.

Ollie Watkins has the answer to MU. |
Last month, MU was informed that the 29 -year -old was not for sale. Aston Villa also refused the offer worth £ 60 million for Watkins from Arsenal at the end of the January transfer period.
According to The Sun, Watkins believes that it is now the right time to leave, while Aston Villa will consider the offer worth £ 50 million for their striker, who scored 16 Premier League victories last season.
The source also revealed that MU also brought Samu Aghehowa on the shortlist, who scored 27 goals for Porto last season and almost joined Chelsea a year ago. Benfica's 26 -year -old striker, Vangelis Pavlidis, who scored 30 goals last season, was also in MU's sights.
MU had previously refused to recruit Nicolas Jackson because Chelsea demanded £ 80 million for his star.
