Manchester United considers selling Rasmus Hojlund to fund Benjamin Sesko deal
Red Devils identify RB Leipzig striker as top target amid attacking overhaul
Manchester United are reportedly open to selling Rasmus Hojlund this summer as they look to make room financially and tactically for the potential arrival of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. The decision follows Hojlund’s underwhelming performance during the 2024/25 campaign, which has cast doubt on his future at Old Trafford.
Hojlund’s future uncertain after mixed season
Signed with high expectations, Hojlund struggled to deliver consistent performances throughout last season. While the Danish forward showed flashes of promise, the club’s hierarchy is now willing to listen to offers for the 21-year-old as they reshape their attacking lineup.
According to reports, United’s board is closely monitoring the striker market, with plans to secure a new center-forward before the start of the season.
Sesko tops United’s transfer wishlist
RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko has emerged as Manchester United’s top attacking target. According to Football Insider, the club sees the 21-year-old Slovak as a long-term solution for the number nine position.
Sesko has attracted attention from multiple Premier League clubs, but United appear determined to win the race for his signature. New manager Rúben Amorim is reportedly a strong advocate for the move and has already given his approval for the transfer.
No formal bid yet, but Leipzig open to talks
While no official bid has been submitted, RB Leipzig is said to be open to negotiating a permanent deal for Sesko. The striker is currently valued at approximately €50 million, and United are believed to be weighing up their financial options, which include offloading Hojlund to free up funds.
Despite the recent additions of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, the Red Devils are still eager to bolster their forward line. The club views Sesko as a crucial piece in their rebuild under Amorim and is working behind the scenes to accelerate talks.
