Man Utd can forget Sesko by signing “One of Europe’s Best”

Everything feels inevitable, doesn’t it? A bright preseason quickly filled up when Manchester United scored a goal behind Old Trafford’s Viktor Gyokeres, and the camera properly dispatched his former boss, Ruben Amorim, to look on the contact line. It is written on the stars.
Amorim was forced to witness one of his sports CP Talisman joined Arsenal this summer for £64m, despite pre-claiming that the Portuguese coach was keen to party with a player who scored 68 goals in just 68 games in Lisbon watches.
Hopefully, however, when both sides went to the headlines later this month, the headlines were stolen, a different number, speculating about the search boost for Manchester United itself looking for a striker.
For now, the main name that fills this striking gap seems to be the long-term goal, namely, Benjamin Sesko, though is the 22-year-old RB Leipzig star really the right solution?
Latest moves about Manchester United Sesko
It’s a summer about the striker, and Sesko happens to be at the center of the transfer carousel.
Indeed, before Mikel Arteta and Co-op settled in Gyokeres, the Slovenian shooter appeared to be the main target for joining the Gunners, and he also became the main target for Newcastle United.
Sesko has been identified as the man who may replace St James’ Park’s Alexander Isak, who may be another high-profile target for refusing Hippies’ progress, but if the Red Devil goes away.
As reported this week, Old Trafford is also making up for the striker’s signature, with Manchester United said to be struggling for a player who could pay between £60 and £70 million.
Although journalist Graeme Bailey outlined that Amorim’s side was “confident” to reach a deal, the report on whether the former Red Bull Salzburg man favored moving to Manchester was different.
Potential exchanges involving Rasmus Hojlund have also proposed efforts, with Manchester United sealing this conversion before the season rolls. In other words, are there better goals to consider?
Why Manchester United Need to Avoid Benjamin Sesco
Sesko scored double-digit league goals in each of his last two seasons in Germany, although it remains to be seen whether the format will translate into British football, with Manchester United struggling with its £73 million investment from Bundesliga Jadon Sancho.
The then-captive of the Dortmund man in Washington State – who scored only 12 points in 83 games in Manchester – saw the Red Devils fork, knocked out for exciting talent with high potential, Sesko’s joining might keep the same goal in mind.
But when they still win the championship after a season after their 15th-ranked Premier League season, after a combined 44 league goals, it may require a more verified and risky option.
Enter, Ollie Watkins.
Although Sesko stood out on the center shortlist, reports show Amorim’s preference is to go to Watkins, while England International follows in the footsteps of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, the highest ready acquisition.
While Aston Villa seems to have rejected any interest so far this summer, a suitable bid of around £60 million may lure them into selling, especially with the former Brentford man approaching his 30s.
In a sense, Watkins will be a short-term fix because of his age, and although he scored at least ten league goals in his five seasons at England’s top top level, he will represent a handful of guarantees on the market.
United’s appearance was made by United in the summer of 1998 when Dwight Yorke of Villa Park selected for Dwight Yorke in the summer of 1998 for a £12.6 million deal.

Like Watkins – with 87 goals in 223 games at Villas – Yorke has been his previous revelation before joining Alex Ferguson, winning 98 times in 287 games.
While he will last for four years at Dream Theatre, the sensation in Trinidad and Tobago is more influential, with 29 influences in all the games of the famous high-winning season.
Like Yorke – the 26-year-old at the time of moving – Watkins is still at the culmination of his strength, registering 31 goals and assists in all the last Unai Emery games. The statistic qualification includes 14 assists, indicating that he is a provider and is both the highest scorer.
The 29-year-old, known by Emery as “one of Europe’s best strikers” should not need to adapt to life in Manchester United’s life, where his prospects could also rebuild his partnership with Mbeumo as they were together after they were together in Brentford.
Sesko may be the charming name for young people, but the brilliance of Watkins has been seen directly in Villa’s five years. As Ferguson witnessed in Yorke, it is likely to be devastating to add a proven Premier League forward.
