Manchester United’s chances of signing wonderkid Benjamin Sesko have been dealt a blow amid reports he wants to stay at Red Bull Salzburg for another season.
Sesko has caught the eye of scouts all across Europe by contributing 10 goals and seven assists across all competitions for Salzburg last season. The 19-year-old Slovenia international has generated lots of speculation in recent weeks, with United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain among those monitoring his progress.
United are looking for reinforcements in attacking positions this summer, after losing Edinson Cavani on a free transfer and with Mason Greenwood unavailable. A hamstring injury to Anthony Martial, which will keep him out of Sunday’s Premier League opener against Brighton, and Cristiano Ronaldo ’s desire to leave means Erik ten Hag needs more options.
