As things stand, Rasmus Hojlund, who has enjoyed a solid pre-season so far, is the leading candidate to spearhead United's attack for the season opener. However, the club hope to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko to become the new face of their forward line.

Former Manchester United forward Louis Saha believes the Red Devils should focus on signing ex-Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic this summer. His comments came after Ruben Amorim and Co.

Manchester United remain in the running to sign Benjamin Sesko as RB Leipzig have rejected Newcastle United’s €80 million (£69.8m) bid for the striker, according to reports. United and Newcastle are both competing to sign the 22-year-old before the end of the summer transfer window and negotiations have intensified this week.
