manchester united recent signings

Man United completed the major signings of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon earlier this summer, Man Utd are now on the hunt for a top striker to lead their line.

After missing out on Liam Delap and Viktor Gyokeres to Chelsea and Arsenal, respectively, Man Utd are fully focused on getting a deal done for Sesko at the moment.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is willing to move to Manchester United if the Red Devils fail to beat Newcastle United in the race for Benjamin Sesko, according to a report, but there are two other strikers that manager Ruben Amorim has in mind.

According to reports, Man Utd have made an offer to RB Leipzig for Sesko that could reach €85million (£74m, $98.3m) with very achievable add-ons.

Sources have told Football Flame that Sesko is happy with the contract that Man Utd have offered to him, but Newcastle are pushing to convince the 22-year-old striker to move to St. James’ Park.

With Liverpool on the hunt for Alexander Isak despite seeing a bid turned down last week, Newcastle have identified Sesko as a top replacement.

Newcastle’s offer for Sesko could rise to €90m (£78.3m, $101.1m), with the striker also happy with what the Carabao Cup winners are willing to pay him in salary.

According to The Sun, with uncertainty on the future of Sesko, Watkins is ‘ready’ to join Man Utd if they miss out on the signing of the striker to Newcastle.

The report has noted that Watkins is ‘keen on a move to Manchester United’ and feels that ‘the time is right’ for him to leave Villa.

With Villa having PSR issues, Unai Emery’s side could sell the 29-year-old England international striker if a bid of between £40m and £50m (up to €57.5m, $66.5m) comes in.
