Manchester United are keen to add RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko to the clutch of signings they’ve already made this summer and one Red Devil has already made his thoughts very clear
Manchester United are currently in the middle of their pre-season tour of America – but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are hard at work trying to add more new faces to Ruben Amorim’s squad ahead of the new season.
United have already rubber-stamped three summer arrivals: Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have both completed moves from both Wolves and Brentford respectively, while young defender Diego Leon has also completed a move to Manchester.
But United are not finished there with more incomings and player sales expected before the transfer deadline.
A striker is also on their shopping list, with RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko emerging as the club’s priority transfer target. Talks regarding his arrival are ongoing.
Elsewhere, outgoings are also on the agenda. Marcus Rashford has already completed a move away from the club after joining Barcelona. Take a look at all of the latest transfer rumours:

Dorgu sends Sesko message
Man United defender Patrick Dorgu claims he still has plenty of faith in Rasmus Hojlund despite the club chasing Benjamin Sesko. “He’s doing really well,” said Dorgu. “He looks sharp, he looks fit and I’m very happy for Rasmus to get his goal.
“It was a difficult season for Rasmus. Not only for him, but for everyone, so I think this season is really important for him and for the team to get back to where we have to be in the league.
“We need a striker to deliver on the pitch, so that’s why he was happy. We talk in training, we try to understand each other on the pitch, for me to know where he is in the box and what movements he likes. He needs confidence, everyone needs confidence and a goal always helps with that.”
Juventus speak out on Sancho
Juventus chief Damien Comolli has suggested that his side are still interested in Jadon Sancho – but will only make a move should one of their current widemen leave. He said: “I think the club is very attractive; many agents and players are calling me. After all, we are Juventus, and we want to get back to winning ways.
“Securing Conceição’s permanence was a clear and strong decision because he can play on both fronts. We have two of the best wingers in the world, and Nico is a great player. If someone were to leave, we will consider him [Sancho].”
Sancho was in line for a move to Chelsea this summer after spending last season on loan but the Blues decided to pay a £5m penalty fee to back out of the agreement.

United eye Donnarumma
While the Red Devils are keen to bolster their attacking options, it also appears that they want to add to their goalkeeping ranks. As per Sky Sports, United are interested in PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Italian has entered the final year of his contract at the Parc des Princes, with the French side having signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille as a potential replacement. But Donnarumma could yet stay.
A further year with PSG has not been ruled out and the Italian is in no rush to make a decision on his future.
