Manchester United are entering ‘key days’ in their transfer pursuit of teenage striker Benjamin Sesko, according to reports. The Red Devils lead the race for the towering striker, who has been compared to Manchester City star Erling Haaland.
United have apparently met with Sesko’s representatives but are yet to agree a fee with his club, Red Bull Salzburg. The Austrian side, for whom Haaland also played, are widely reported to have demanded at least £45million for the 19-year-old.
Two more unnamed clubs are competing with United to sign Sesko, who was linked to Arsenal before the Gunners signed Gabriel Jesus. The Old Trafford outfit need to ‘move fast’ to ensure they acquire the Slovenian.
That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims that United have held a meeting with Sesko’s agent. The player and his representatives will make a decision on his next club within the next few days, meaning United’s director of football John Murtough must anxiously wait for a response.
