Manchester United have reportedly sent out scouts to watch RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko, who has been impressive this season. According to SportsBible, Manchester United scouts were sent to watch the 19-year-old ahead of his potential move to RB Leipzig at the end of the season.
Benjamin Sesko currently plays for Austrian side RB Salzburg but has agreed to join Bundesliga side RB Leipzig at the end of the season. It is reported that the two clubs finalized a deal for the Slovenian star last summer, and the deal runs until 2028.
The teenager has registered nine goals in 19 league appearances for RB Leipzig, including a seven-minute hat trick against Rapid Vienna on Sunday.
According to SportsBible, ESPN reported back in January that Benjamin Sesko is on a three-man transfer list for Manchester United ahead of next summer, along with Napoli's Victor Oshimen and Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane.
SportsBible believes that RB Leipzig will be ready to cash in on Benjamin Sesko's deal if any club is willing to match their transfer demands, and these could tempt Manchester United to make a move for the Slovenian international.
90MIN claimed Man United's scouts were in the crowd when the 19-year-old scored his seven-minute hat trick against Rapid Vienna on Sunday, and of course it would leave a huge impression on suitors. The report also claimed representatives of Inter Milan, Leeds United, and Tottenham Hotspur were present at the Sunday match between RB Salzburg and Rapid Vienna. which means Erik Ten Hag's side will have to compete fiercely for the teenager's signature.
The striker has made 17 appearances for the Slovenian national team and has scored five times. He has drawn comparisons with Manchester City's Erling Haaland, as some of his teammates at RB Salzburg believe he plays like the Norwegian.
"Such comparisons motivate me and give me energy."
"They do not represent pressure." "I will listen and learn so I can be even better than he is."
"My team-mates at the club [Salzburg] tell me that Haaland and I are very similar, especially in terms of speed. Most of them even tell me that I'm better than him!
Manchester United will have to revamp their attacking options next summer. Anthony Martial is rumored to be on Manchester United's "fire sale" list, while Wout Weghorst would leave at the end of his loan stint.
