As Cristiano Ronaldo’s future remains uncertain, Manchester United have been looking to strengthen their attack. Now, the Red Devils have been told the fee required to secure one of Europe’s hottest young prospects – RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko. Sesko bagged five goals in 24 league appearances last seasonGetty Dubbed the ‘new Erling Haaland‘, 19-year-old Slovenia international Sesko is a natural centre-forward and, given he’s 6ft 4in, it’s easy to see why he’s been compared to the new Man City star. According to The Times, Man United have held talks with the youngster’s representatives. And it’s understood Salzburg want £55million off the Red Devils – which is far beyond what the Premier League side are prepared to play. The youngster netted ten times in all competitions last season, his first full campaign as a first team player at Salzburg. But should Man United try to match the Austrian club’s asking price, they’ll still need to fend off competition from the starlet’s other suitors. It’s understood money-injected Newcastle are interested, as well as fellow Premier League side Wolves.
