⚽ Manchester United target Benjamin Šeško chooses Old Trafford ahead of Newcastle
Manchester United are poised to sign their top target striker, Benjamin Šeško, after the player purportedly chose Old Trafford over a superior bid from Newcastle United. According to Sky Sports, United officially approached RB Leipzig with a bid worth £65 million plus £8.9 million in performance-based add-ons.
Even as Newcastle are prepared to offer more, Šeško is said to be swayed by Erik ten Hag's long-term plan and would prefer joining Manchester United. The transfer will probably be finalized towards the end of the week pending Leipzig's nod.

With Amid Šeško potentially joining, Rasmus Højlund's United future is now in serious question. Recruit in 2023 for £72 million, the French striker has yet to consistently shine. Sources from The Times and TalkSport suggest Manchester United will sell Højlund for £30 million, a move that would show a massive financial loss.
But Højlund has shown that he wants to stay and fight for a place in the squad.
Ollie Watkins Steps Up as Plan B
As a fall-back, should the transfer of Šeško collapse, Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins is reported to be being looked at. The Englishman has been playing superb football, and Manchester United are considering making an offer of around £40–50 million.
According to ESPN, the player would switch, and United can open talks in case the Šeško deal is met with obstacles.
Manchester United Target Brighton Midfielder Carlos Baleba
The most exciting rumor, at least, is United's supposed interest in Carlos Baleba, 21-year-old star midfielder from Brighton & Hove Albion. Although Brighton rubbished claims of any formal approach, social media hearsay surrounding the deal is growing. Fans have jokingly vowed to name their firstborns "INEOS" should the transfer go through, referencing the new Manchester United ownership's lofty signings. (The Scottish Sun)
Baleba could be seen as a long-term solution in midfield to combine with Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes.
