Ruben Amorim target told to go ‘nowhere near Manchester United’ as move makes no sense

Manchester United target Benjamin Sesko has been warned about a potential move to Old Trafford this season amid transfer discussions with the Red Devils.

TBR Football recently confirmed that Man United have opened talks over Sesko, who has gone from strength to strength at RB Leipzig.

Ruben Amorim is keen to add to his attacking options this summer and a striker appears to be one of the priorities for Manchester United.

However, ESPN pundit Steve Nicol has now given his opinion over why both Sesko and Man United should steer clear of each other.

Manchester United told they should prioritise other positions over attack

Nicol believes that Man United have more pressing concerns in the squad, namely the midfield, the defence and in goal.

The pundit claimed that, should the Red Devils sign Benjamin Sesko, it would leave them with less money and PSR wriggle room for other key players.

In turn, this would lessen the service to Sesko, and he would struggle, added Nicol.

“My biggest worry is for Sesko… successful teams are usually built from the back forward and certainly successful teams are built in the guts of the team forward,” he said. “You don’t start up front.

“Look at all the players they are signing. If they sign Sesko, they’ve signed three forwards basically. You’ve got to get them the ball. You’ve got to get them opportunities to score.

“And what Manchester United have right now in the middle defensively isn’t good enough to produce that for those three players.

“If I’m Sesko, I’d be worried that I’m going to stall at Manchester United.

“Look at the path that (Erling) Haaland has had. He’s done it the right way. He’s built, and then he’s joining a team in Manchester City that they’re at the top of the tree.

“No wonder the guy continues to score goals and continues to get better. Is Sesko going to do that at Manchester United? I’m not so sure.

“And if they do get Sesko… they’re not going to have any money to strengthen the middle of the park, strengthen that defence, strengthen the goal.

“If I’m Sesko, I’m sorry, but I’m going nowhere near Manchester United.”

Rasmus Hojlund’s defiant message amid Benjamin Sesko links

Man United’s pursuit of Sesko is not great news for Rasmus Hojlund, who could find himself falling down the pecking order.

TBR Football have revealed that intermediaries have once again touched base with several clubs about the prospect of Hojlund leaving Man United.

Hojlund himself has publicly made it clear that he will be fighting for his spot in the starting XI, suggesting that he won’t make it easy for any new arrivals.

“I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to stay and fight for my spot whatever happens,” he told reporters – as per the Evening Standard – after the friendly win over Bournemouth.

“I am still very young. I think people sometimes forget that.

“I am only 22 years old. I have learned a lot, and I think that shows in my game. I have done very well so far during the pre-season.”
