Manchester United Targeting More Than Mbeumo as Fans Push for Benjamin Šeško Signing
Manchester United are not stopping at Bryan Mbeumo in their summer recruitment drive. The club’s board is already working to bring in a second high-profile attacker, with growing fan momentum behind a move for Benjamin Šeško.
United Eyes Attacking Reinforcements Amid Key Departures
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, United executives have made it clear that strengthening the attacking line will remain a top priority even after Mbeumo’s signing is completed. The board is actively evaluating options to support manager Rúben Amorim, who is expected to implement an aggressive tactical setup next season.
Crucial to the club’s summer strategy will be freeing up budget through player sales. Several high-profile names, including Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, and Antony, are reportedly on the radar of top European clubs. Garnacho has attracted renewed interest from Chelsea, while Rashford is being monitored by both Juventus and Barcelona. Antony’s future at Old Trafford remains highly uncertain.
Fans Rally Behind Šeško as Ideal Reinforcement
As speculation swirls, Manchester United fans have taken to social media to share their preferred striker targets. On X (formerly Twitter), supporters have floated names like Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt), and Benjamin Šeško (RB Leipzig).
Šeško, the 21-year-old Slovenian striker, has emerged as the most popular option among fans. Known for his aerial presence and physicality, the Leipzig forward is seen as a perfect fit for the Premier League.
“Sesko for me. Serbs are beasts!”, wrote one user.
“I support Osimhen. If it doesn’t happen, Sesko should be hired.”
“Give me Sesko.”
“Sesko or Osimhen,” added others.
Club Prioritizing Sales Before Next Signing
Manchester United are expected to finalize at least one major sale before securing another striker. With player exits potentially unlocking the financial flexibility needed for a top-tier acquisition, the situation is evolving rapidly.
The club’s focus on securing an elite young forward whether Šeško, Osimhen, or another rising star signals intent to rebuild the frontline with long-term prospects in mind.
