Man Utd want to sign a striker in the final month of the summer transfer window, with their focus on one player.
Manchester United are still fully focused on a possible deal to sign RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko in the final month of the summer transfer window. Ruben Amorim has requested a striker before deadline day, with the 22-year-old viewed as their top target for the role.
It won't be easy to sign him, though, with Newcastle also keen on a deal for the Slovenian striker. The Magpies saw an opening offer for Sesko rejected over the weekend, but are understood to have submitted an improved bid worth £78.5 million for his signature.
United will likely have to match that offer if they are to sign Sesko this month, with the player yet to decide which club he would like to sign for next season.
