Manchester United aim to pair Benjamin Sesko with Rasmus Hojlund next season.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have struggled to score goals all season and when they have, the strikes have tended to be from the midfield or wings. Yesterday, in the 3-3 FA cup draw <\/a>with Coventry City, the Old Trafford side scored three goals but two came from the midfield and one from the defence.<\/p>\n

United have only scored 47 goals in 32 league matches all season and only six teams have netted less than Erik ten Hag’s side.<\/p>\n

Most of the pressure has fallen on the 21-year-old Rasmus Hojlund who, in spite of his penalty shootout heroics yesterday at Wembley, has struggled for form throughout the season, barring an incredible purple patch in January and February.<\/p>\n

As a result, it has been confirmed by numerous sources that INEOS will certainly be bringing in a striker this summer to ease the burden on the young Dane.<\/p>\n

A plethora of forwards have been linked to the club, such as Harry Kane<\/a>, Ivan Toney <\/a>and Joshua Zirkzee<\/a>. However, another forward that the club have a significant interest in is Red Bull Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.<\/p>\n

United have been linked <\/a>to the player since the days of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, so will have scouted the Slovenian extensively. In addition it has been reported<\/a> that the player could well be available for less than his \u00a342 million release clause this summer window.<\/p>\n

Journalist Ben Jacobs has added to the story by telling GIVEMESPORT<\/a>, “Sesko has got a \u20ac50 million release clause, and Manchester United are happy to move for a younger profile of striker which might not have been the case if Rasmus Hojlund hadn’t hit form and started scoring goals.”<\/p>\n

It is reported that Toney and Evan Ferguson are also targets for United but there is concern over both players’ price.<\/p>\n

“The thing about Sesko compared to Ferguson, Toney and others is that there is a real feeling that the release clause, or a number close to it, represents value. I think in addition to the fact that wages would be significantly lower than Toney and probably Ferguson as well, there might be a financial argument to bringing in Sesko, who’s got a very high ceiling.”<\/p>\n

Most interestingly of all, there is a belief in the club that Sesko could pair very well with United’s current first choice striker.<\/p>\n

“Also Manchester United feel that Hojlund and Sesko can work very well together.”<\/p>\n

At 20 years old, Sesko is only one year younger than Hojlund, so their playing timelines fit perfectly together, alongside the 19-year-old pairing of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho.<\/p>\n

In addition, the striker has been praised <\/a>for his excellent finishing technique and his threat on the counterattack: “\u0160e\u0161ko is a unique gem in attack who could very well end up being Slovenia’s answer to Zlatan Ibrahimovi\u0107”.<\/p>\n

The arrival of the talented young striker would certainly upgrade the squad’s depth and would be yet another starlet to gel with United’s current exciting crop of youngsters.<\/p>\n
