Manchester United have resumed their pursuit of RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško, launching their fourth approach in six years for the Slovenian striker. With the transfer window nearing its final stretch, the club's continued preference for unproven potential over Premier League experience is once again in sharp focus.
Šeško, just 22, has emerged as United's top striking target this summer. Despite already spending £130m on forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, the club have made informal contact with Leipzig to study a deal that could cost upwards of £80 million. The move would add to a pattern of high-cost gambles on youth, following recent signings such as Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee, neither of whom has yet delivered consistently at Old Trafford.
