Still, United must and should have in place a pure striker with the potential to deliver 20-30 goals every season. Two candidates remain on the list, United management has apparently set their sights on one. Now Højlund is being pushed into a potential swap.
It’s between Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko, but with the United delegation in Germany this week, it’s clear the Red Devils are now aiming for Sesko’s signing. Because there will be more activity to secure the RB Leipzig striker’s transfer.
