“Van Persie 2.0” is on MU’s radar
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing talented young striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. This isn’t the first time the Red Devils have shown interest in the Slovenian player.

According to The Athletic, Manchester United had previously turned down the opportunity to sign the 1.96-meter-tall forward for just £2.5 million in 2019. Currently, to acquire Sesko, Man Utd might have to spend close to the reported release clause of £55 million for the 20-year-old player.
