Alright, listen up you muppets! It looks like Manchester United are back in for that Benjamin Sesko lad. Yeah, you heard me right, the 22-year-old RB Leipzig striker who's been making waves in the football world.
United's quest for a new no. 9 continues
Now, we all know that Arsenal were sniffing around Sesko too, but it seems they've got their sights set on some other bloke named Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon. Fair play to them, I suppose. But that's not what we're here to talk about, is it?
United, fresh off their £62.5 million signing of Matheus Cunha, are now looking to bolster their attack even further with Sesko. They tried to get him last year, but the lad decided to stay put at Leipzig. Can't blame him, really. The Bundesliga's a cracking league.
Other potential targets for United's attack
But Sesko isn't the only name on United's wishlist, oh no. They've got their eyes on a few other lads too. Nicolas Jackson and Ollie Watkins are also being discussed in the United boardroom. Watkins, who netted 16 times for Aston Villa last season, could be a solid option, but let's be real, he's no Sesko.
Jackson, on the other hand, has fallen out of favour at Chelsea, which means United might have an easier time prying him away from Stamford Bridge. The lad's got talent, no doubt about that. He's scored 30 goals for Chelsea in two seasons, which is nothing to scoff at.
Sesko's impressive record at Leipzig
But let's get back to Sesko, shall we? The lad's been on fire for Leipzig, scoring 21 goals last season. That's the kind of firepower United need if they want to challenge for the title next season. And with the potential addition of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for a whopping £65 million plus add-ons, United's attack could be looking seriously menacing.
Rashford's potential exit from United
Of course, there's also the small matter of Marcus Rashford potentially leaving United for Barcelona. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Why the hell would United let one of their best players go?" Well, it seems they've agreed to a loan deal with an option to buy. Time will tell if that's a smart move or a massive blunder.
But enough about Rashford. The real question is, can United convince Sesko to join their ranks this time around? They'll have to pull out all the stops to make it happen, that's for sure. But if they do manage to sign him, along with Mbeumo and maybe even Watkins or Jackson, they could have one of the most fearsome attacks in the Premier League.
Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: the beautiful game is never boring, and this transfer window is shaping up to be a real cracker. So grab your pints, lads, and let's see how this all plays out. United's quest for a new no. 9 continues, and we'll be here to watch every bloody minute of it.
