Manchester United has set a target for recruiting a new striker.

On the 28th (Korea Standard Time), Sky Sports in Germany 'Manchester United and Newcastle United are currently negotiating with Benjamin Seschko's side. The two clubs have presented their respective projects and financial proposals to the players, and negotiations are currently continuing to reach an oral agreement. 'The official proposal is likely to be submitted to RB Leipzig after an oral agreement' the report said.

The media said: "'Now it's up to Seschko himself and his agent, and Newcastle United in particular are making quite aggressive moves. RB Leipzig wants a total of 80 million euros (about 129.3 billion won) in transfer fees, he explained.

Manchester United's final task, which has completed the signing of Matheus Cunha and Brian Mbomo, is to sign a striker. Recruiting the striker is considered a must-have for Manchester United, as both Rasmus Hoylun, who he signed in 2023, and Joshua Girksey, who he brought in 2024, have failed.

Starting with Liam Delap, Manchester United was connected to numerous strikers such as Victor Osimhen, Victor Jockeres, and Ollie Watkins, but they are all failing to recruit. Other big clubs were also pushed out of the competition because they were trying to recruit strikers. Seschuko is the only player left.

Seschuko is a prospect who has been linked to Manchester United in the past. Seschko, born in 2003, drew attention for his performances reminiscent of Elling Holan during his time at Red Bull Salzburg. It was not as great a performance as Holan, but the performance and style are similar.

He is 195 centimeters tall, but he is not a target striker. He is a striker who boasts tremendous speed and shooting power. He is an attractive player like Holan in a speedy attack. However, his scoring ability is not as good as Holan, and he still needs to grow in connection.

Still, his skills have been proven to some extent. He scored 18 goals and two assists in 42 games in his first season with Leipzig and 21 goals and six assists in 45 games last season. The number of attack points has increased significantly, and the completeness of the performance has increased, so it is attracting the attention of big clubs.

Originally, the team that wanted Seschko the most was Arsenal, but Arsenal completed the reinforcement of the striker by turning to Jockeres. Only Manchester United and Newcastle want Seschuko. Newcastle are quickly looking for a replacement for Isak as key striker Alexander Isak asks for a transfer. If Isaac is sold, there will be no financial problems in recruiting Seschuko because he could earn a huge transfer fee.

On the other hand, Manchester United is believed to be able to recruit only when the sale takes precedence. Marcus Rashford, who was second in the team's salary, has been cleared, but players such as Jadon Sancho and Antony remain. Right now, the only thing Manchester United can put ahead of Newcastle is the club's history and reputation so far.
