Manchester United have apparently put RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko on their shortlist with Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, with the Red Devils looking to strengthen their striker position for the future.
Sesko was linked to a move to the red part of Manchester this past summer, however fellow Red Bull club to Salzburg, RB Leipzig paid €24 million for the Slovenian with him staying at the club until 2028.
He was loaned back to Salzburg for this season because in the first instance between Salzburg selling to Leipzig they were not too sure but with this loan back for one season included in his deal, he will once again attract the big clubs in Europe.
Making 15 appearances, scoring four goals and having three assists so far this season it looks like he has the potential to reach a high level, nevertheless United have been down this road before with Amad Diallo two seasons ago.
Overpaying for a talent who played in two senior games for Atalanta but Sesko seems to be more proven than Amad was at this stage. The worry is that he signs for United and he does not hit the ground running.
