Manchester United Ends Benjamin Sesko Pursuit Over Financial Concerns

Manchester United are focusing on strengthening their striker options this summer, having already signed Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. The club has shown renewed interest in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, who had previously declined a move but is now back on their radar, despite financial challenges related to his transfer fee and wages. Alongside Sesko, Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson remains a target as United seek to finalize their new frontline. Statistical analysis shows Sesko outperformed his expected goals last season, although his team struggled overall, while other contenders like Ollie Watkins and Jackson also have strengths and weaknesses. Arsenal's pursuit of Sesko collapsed, leaving United well-positioned to compete for him. Meanwhile, Liverpool are pursuing Real Madrid winger Rodrygo to replace Luis Díaz, with other clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich also involved in various transfer negotiations.
