In a breaking development, Manchester United have reportedly intensified their pursuit of RB Leipzig and Slovenia international striker, Benjamin Šeško.
This move follows recent reports that head coach Ruben Amorim wants to sign another forward this summer, even after the arrivals of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Šeško is seen as fitting the specific profile the manager is looking for: an athletic, penalty-area striker with significant pace and aerial prowess.
While Šeško’s agents had previously been in contact with Liverpool, Manchester United’s intensified effort now positions them as a serious contender for his signature. This shows the club is actively working to fulfill their manager’s request for a traditional number nine.
Manchester United’s hunt for a new striker has clearly identified a top target. By stepping up their chase for Benjamin Šeško, the club is making a decisive move to add a different style of forward to their ranks, and it remains to be seen if their intensified efforts will lead to a formal bid.
