Benjamin Sesko Transfer News: United Join Pursuit of Leipzig Striker
Manchester United have now entered the race to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. Sky Sports states that United have held talks with the German club and will make a formal bid following the offer of £69.8 million by Newcastle United.

Rasmus Højlund Transfer Update: Exit on the Cards?
In sensational Manchester United transfer news today, striker Rasmus Højlund may be allowed to leave the club for £30 million, says TalkSport. United want to keep him despite his inconsistencies.
As United seek firepower, Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins has also been touted as a backup option if the Sesko deal fails.
Transfer Strategy Shift: Midfield Reinforcement Focus
As Red Devils pursue attackers, experts have urged a shift in Manchester United's transfer policy. According to The Sun, critics have the view that the club should shelve the Sesko transfer and look to bring in a defensive midfielder of the caliber of Rodri.
In response to midfield issues being on display during preseason, names like Manuel Ugarte and João Neves have been floated as long-term fixes.
