Man Utd can forget Sesko by signing “one of the best Europeans”

Everything is a bit inevitable, isn’t it? A brilliant pre-season quickly crushed while Manchester United was behind an early goal from Viktor Gyokerres to Old Trafford, the camera duly moving to its former Ruben Amorim boss looking for Forlorn on the key line. It is written in the stars.
Amorim was forced to attend his sports Talisman Sportif to join Arsenal for around 64 million pounds Sterling this summer, despite the previous claims that the Portuguese coach was holding a meeting with a player who scored 66 goals in just 68 games under his watch in Lisbon.
Hopefully, this is another new number flying the headlines when the two parties compete later this month, with accelerated speculation concerning the search for United for an attacker.
Currently, the main name to fill this striking vacuum seems to a long-term target, Benjamin Sonko, although the 22-year-old RB Leipzig starlet really would the right solution?
Last on the movement of Man Utd Sesko
It was a summer on the strikers, with Sesko just in the center of the transfer merry -go -round.
Indeed, the sniper Slovenian at one point seemed to be the main target to join the Gunners, before Mikel Arteta and Co were content with gyoker, after having emerged as a main objective for Newcastle United.
Identified man to potentially replace Alexander Isak Wantaway in St James’ Park, Sesko could be another large -scale target to reject the advances of the Magpies, however, if the Red Devils have their way.
As indicated this week, the Trafford side is also now in the mixture for the signing of the attacker, with United working on an agreement for an agreement who could cost in the region of 60 million pounds sterling at 70 million pounds sterling.
There have been different reports on the question of whether the former man of Red Bull Salzburg would promote a move to Manchester or not, although the journalist Graeme Bailey stressed that the Amorim team is “confident” of concluding an agreement.
With a potential exchange involving Rasmus Hojlund also flared, there are tracks for United to seal this switch before the tour of the season. That said, isn’t there a better target to consider?
Why does man need to avoid Benjamin Sesko
Sesko has reached double figures for the league goals during each of its last two seasons in Germany, although this form would result in English football remains to be seen, United having been stung by their investment of 73 million pounds sterling in a certain Jadon Sancho of the Bundesliga.
The capture of the Dortmund man then, who only scored 12 times in 83 games in four years in Manchester – saw the Red Devils to chase it for an exciting talent with high sky potential, with the addition of Sesko probably in mind.
However, at a time when the Amorim team is still in shock after a season in which they finished 15th in the Premier League, after having scored only 44 goals in the championship collectively, perhaps a more proven option and opposed to a risk is perhaps required.
Enter, Ollie Watkins.
Although SESKO has pushed the restricted list on the list of central advantages, the reports suggested that Amorim’s preference would be to go for Watkins, with the English international according to the traces of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo as a high level acquisition.
Although Aston Villa seems to have rejected any interest so far this summer, an appropriate offer of around 60 million pounds sterling may well attempt them in a sale, especially with the former man of Brentford approaching 30.
There is a feeling that Watkins would only be a short -term solution because of his age, although he has scored at least ten league goals during each of his five seasons in the upper level of England, he would represent one of the rare guarantees on the market.
United only looks towards the past for optimism, having torn off Dwight Yorke from Villa Park on a 12.6 million pound sterling contract in the summer of 1998, after the astonishing passage of the enigmatic attacker in the midlands.

Like Watkins – which has 87 goals in 223 games for the Villans – Yorke had been a revelation for his former team, before joining the ranks of Alex Ferguson, having scored 98 times in 287 games.
While he would only last four years at the Theater of Dreams, the feeling of Trinidad and Tobago had an impact, after having marked 29 times in all competitions during the famous winning season.
Just like Yorke – who was 26 years old at the time of the move – Watkins is still at the top of his powers, having recorded 31 goals and aid in all competitions the last time under Unai Emery. This statement includes 14 assists, showing that it is as much a supplier that it is a supreme scorer.
Ulick as “one of the best attackers in Europe” by Emery, the 29 -year -old should not need any period of adaptation to life to United, with the prospect for him to also revive his previous partnership with Mbeumo, after their days together in Brentford.
Sesko is perhaps the young name Glamor, but the brightness of Watkins has already been seen by the first hand over five years coherent in Villa. As Ferguson saw it in the case of Yorke, the addition of a first league attacker experienced in the mixture could well be devastating.
