Manchester United is attracting players. It shows sincerity in restoring honor.

Manchester United's summer transfer market is attracting players with a 'crazy momentum' To make up for his shocking ranking of 15th in the English Premier League (EPL) last season, he is focusing all his efforts on strengthening his power.

Manchester United's 'attracting players', which has already recruited Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, and Brian Mbomo, has evolved to the next level. It is not enough to have already invested 133.5 million pounds (about 248 billion won) in recruiting Cunha and Mbomo, and this time, it is trying to bring Benjamin Sesco and Ollie Watkins. It is known that they have already started negotiations and contacted other team officials.




BR Football, a British media outlet, reported on the 29th (Korea time) 'Manchester United is believed to have begun negotiations to recruit Watkins and Sesco'

Director Hu Beng Amorim's ambition for 'EPL Top 4 Re-entry' seems to have reached its peak. It is moving to properly restore its honor in the 2025-2026 season by reinforcing its strikers. Watkins and Cesco's bid to sign is an extension of that.

Aston Villa striker Watkins is seen externally as the perfect player for Manchester United. If he joins Manchester United with 16 goals and 8 assists in 38 EPL games last season, he is likely to help ease the goal drought.




The same goes for Sesco of RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga. Cesco, who has played in 87 games since joining Leipzig in the 2023-2024 season, is a tall (1m95) striker who has scored 13 goals and five assists in 33 Bundesliga games in the 2024-2025 season. Despite his tall height, his fast feet and ability to utilize space are his advantages.

Regarding Manchester United's aggressive bid to sign him, TBR Senior Reporter Graham Bailey said 'Manchester United negotiated with Aston Villa last week and mentioned Watkins.

Manchester United then held discussions with Aston Villa about Alejandro Garnacho's transfer, which is very likely to be transferred to Aston Villa. Watkins has a number of options, and the club is also considering them, and it is very likely that he will leave the team in the summer. Manchester United have a strong preference for Watkins and consider him the right player for the team.

Manchester United has also started contacting Cesco on the sidelines of discussions on recruiting Watkins. TBR Football said 'Manchester United contacted Cesco's agent two days ago to discuss the transfer. Sesco reported that Newcastle United are also interested. In the end, Manchester United is expected to have to wage a bloody recruitment war with Newcastle in order to bring in Cesco.

In this regard, reporter Bailey "The attempt to recruit Sesco is also ongoing. United are trying to figure things out. "I don't know if it will be Watkins or Cesco, but Manchester United certainly believe they will sign one of the two."

In the end, Manchester United will have to make a decision between Watkins, who scored 16 league goals last season, and Sesco, a top talent who is only 22 years old, although he scored only 13 in the Bundesliga. Attention is focusing on whether coach Amorim will reach out to Sesco or Watkins.
