What to do with Rasmus Hojlund? On the one hand, Dane is a talented young forward who paid Manchester United’s £72 million in 2023. On the other hand, he was flattered to deceive the 2024/25 campaign, which was completely convincing.
Ruben Amorim rode the steering wheel of the sinking ship when he replaced Erik’s ten partners last November, but it is undeniable that the Portuguese tactician failed to get the tunes he needed from his Red Devils.
Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League and lost to the Europa League final. The entire team lacks the confidence and confidence in fluency, but Hojlund scored only three goals in 32 league games, with an average of only three goals per game.
His plight led to his expectations, or at least expected him to be stepped down this summer, and negotiations were still on standby as Inter Milan registered their interests this summer. Jason Wilcox, a technical director at Old Trafford, is not sure if he will sign the 22-year-old departure, and he reportedly wants to stay.
While Hojlund’s future remains undecided, it’s clear that Ineos and Amorim believe a new high-performance center is needed.
Let’s take a look at the latest.
Latest information about Man Utd’s forward search
They started with Liam Delap. Manchester United has been very interested in clubs interested in Ipswich Town striker after relegation in the Premier League, lifting his £30m offering clause.
However, Chelsea activated the clause and added him to their ranks.
Still, United signed a potential transfer from Cunha and Mbeumo to redefine Amorim’s frontline, and THER has nine other players who might be attracted by the replayed team.
Sadly, it looks like the striker will be Viktor Gyokeres, who is looking to move to Arsenal, who is on strike in Sporting Lisbon in Sports, and the company is now entering its final stages, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Gunners’ shortlist boils down to two, they can’t have both at the same time. So, a door has been opened for Manchester United with a surprising blow.
According to Transfer Insider Graeme Bailey, Man United is a contender for RB Leipzig Striker Benjamin Sesko, who is worth 90 million euros (about £7.8 million).
It was the effective price that effectively ended Arsenal’s long-term interest in Slovenia International, but instead promoted the deal with the Gilk.
However, for the Red Devils, this may prove to be a good exercise as Cesco’s camp has been in touch with United as they want to secure the high-profile transfer he longs for at the 22-year-old.
But if Wilcox is going to lift his mood on the red side of Manchester, Bailey confirms that Liverpool and Newcastle United also need to work quickly.
Why Man Utd Must Sign Benjamin Sesko
Sesko will realize that signing for Man United this summer will mean a season without mainland games. But then Leipzig was not eligible for Europe last semester, and the Devil made ambitious plans that a tough forward would help achieve.
Talent scout Jacek Kulig, the clinical nature of Sesko, describes it as “New Haaland” in both rhythm and physically.
Sesko may not be as complete as GYOKERES (not yet) but he is a world-class striker, and analyst Ben Mattinson even said in early 2025 that he has a “superior image” than Swedish stars.
It doesn’t look like that, Gyokeres scored 97 goals and provided 28 assists for Lisbon Sports in 102 games and won La Liga Portugal in his two tenures.
Additionally, the 27-year-old proved his quality in the Champions League last year, sending a stunning hat-trick against Manchester City under Amorim’s wings.
However, Gyokeres is not a spring chicken and has not yet participated in one of the top five in Europe. However, Sesko has participated in a tougher league, dominant dominant.
Therefore, it can be speculated that the Slovenian would produce his own noble results if he played the game of Sporting in the ninth place in Portugal.

Obviously, the past is not his strength, but Sesco’s strength and movement as a host is something to be admired, and he has made real progress in the physical aspects of the game.
He’s getting better and better, and it’s certainly interesting that in his past two Bundesliga racing games, there are only 18 big chances begging for 27 goals.
In fact, in two seasons, Sesko’s 39 goals, eight assistants returned to Leipzig, playing in just 87 games in all matches, 62 of which took place from the start.
Next season, Sesko will have experienced, Premier League teammates to strengthen him and help him realize his potential as Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are on the side of the central striker at the Dreams Theater.
And this potential is huge. Who knows if Sesko will run or be the Gyokerers, but Amorim wants to restore Old Trafford to a wine of development and success, and Sesko may be the ideal candidate to lead the line for years to come.
