As things stand, Rasmus Hojlund, who has enjoyed a solid pre-season so far, is the leading candidate to spearhead United's attack for the season opener. However, the club hope to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko to become the new face of their forward line.

Former Manchester United forward Louis Saha believes the Red Devils should focus on signing ex-Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic this summer. His comments came after Ruben Amorim and Co.

Talks between United and the Bundesliga club are still in the preliminary phases, but 22-year-old Sesko has been deemed a more suitable fit for Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 and his vision for the future. Sesko’s Leipzig deal runs until 2029.
