The Red Devils have been busy rebuilding their attack this summer, with Man United completing high-profile deals for Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Both players are seen as exciting additions, but neither are likely to lead the line next season, with manager Ruben Amorim prioritising a natural number nine.

Last week, it was confirmed that Man United had officially signed Sesko on a long-term deal, beating Newcastle to his signature.

The Slovenian striker joined United from RB Leipzig in a deal worth £74 million, and despite Newcastle offering a club-record fee, Football Insider revealed that Sesko preferred a move to Manchester United and ultimately completed the signing.

Arsenal had also shown interest earlier in the summer, but Mikel Arteta’s side went on to sign Viktor Gyokeres, who had also been a target for United.

The 22-year-old leaves Germany after 87 appearances, scoring 37 goals and providing eight assists across all competitions during three seasons with Leipzig.

Time will tell if he is given the start in the side’s first tough clash against Arsenal on 17 August.

While United have prioritised strengthening their attack this summer, the club has also been exploring options in goal, with talks ongoing over a potential move for Gianluigi Donnarumma.

However, they have been dealt a setback, as Football Insider revealed that Manchester City have entered the race to sign Donnarumma.

With Ederson’s future at City uncertain amid talks with Galatasaray, Pep Guardiola’s side have identified the Italian as a potential replacement.

Despite already signing James Trafford earlier in the summer, City appear keen to reinforce their goalkeeper options further, particularly if Ederson departs.

Meanwhile, Man United have had concerns over Andre Onana, but his current injury has delayed any potential exit, giving City the opportunity to act.
