Manchester, 20 July 2025 – Manchester United have renewed their interest in RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Šeško as the club ramps up efforts to strengthen their frontline ahead of the new season.
Šeško, 22, has re-emerged as a key target in United’s hunt for a new No.9, having been on the club’s radar 12 months ago before opting to remain in the Bundesliga. With the Slovenian international now open to a move, United are exploring their options, though no formal bid has been lodged at this stage.
The club’s interest in Šeško comes as part of a wider shortlist of striker targets. Among the other names discussed internally are Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson and Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins — both proven Premier League performers who could offer different profiles in the final third.
While no final decision has been made, sources indicate that bringing in a centre-forward is now the next priority for Erik ten Hag and the recruitment team. United are keen to ease the goal-scoring burden on Rasmus Højlund and add firepower as they prepare for a crucial campaign across domestic and European fronts.
With pre-season underway and the transfer window heating up, United fans can expect further developments in the striker department over the coming weeks — with Šeško once again firmly on the radar at Old Trafford.
