United’s Striker Safari…
In a blockbuster move that could make penguins brave the Sahara, Manchester United has fixated its eagle eyes on the swashbuckling striker Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig. The Slovenian, who once danced precariously on Arsenal’s wishlist, extended his German adventure last summer, much to the chagrin of Arteta and his merry crew. But fear not! The winds of transfer allow Sesko’s magical boots to migrate, with a possible escape from Leipzig’s clutches being advertised this summer—only if you have a whopping ÂŁ86m burning a hole in your pocket.
As the Red Devils desperately forage for fresh goal machines, they’ve also hoisted the flags for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap, and Wolverhampton’s Matheus Cunha. It’s like going through a striker supermarket, except everything costs the GDP of a small nation. Osimhen’s falling out with Napoli sees him priced at a juicy ÂŁ63m, while Cunha gallivants around with a tempting release tag of ÂŁ62.5m. But Delap, the delightful bargain bin find, could be yours for just ÂŁ30m if his current club takes the tumble down the league.
With only 38 notches in their net-bag from 32 festive fixtures, United seems to be bobbing around in a goal drought worse than a fish on a desert holiday. Critics have been poking fun at Hojlund and Zirkzee’s goal output like seagulls at a beach picnic. But never fear, for the scrolls of The Manchester Evening News are here to deliver more United tales right to your treasure chest of news joy. Dive into the newsletters, podcasts, and WhatsApp updates like a lion chomping into a steak because, let’s face it, you’ll need them all to keep up with this wild striker safari.
