The last two seasons have seen Rasmus Holjund lead the line for the Red Devils but a return of just 4 goals in 32 Premier League games last season was so disappointing the Danish youngster has apparently found himself on the transfer market for a fee of just £30m.
That Manchester United are willing to take a loss of over £30 million after just two seasons is yet another example of their terrible expenditure in recent years. New owners INEOS have vowed to fix this however, and have already spent big money on two proven Premier League attackers in Mbuemo and Cunha.
With Rashford already gone, Sancho, Garnacho and Antony all part of the wantaway "bomb squad", and Holjund now apparently up for sale, there is a need for further attacking reinforcements and Sesko is an obvious addition.
He has proven goal scoring pedigree at the top level and would provide a good mix of target man alongside free roaming in a front three with Cunha and Mbuemo.
The risk from United's point of view is his relatively low touches in the box and a risk of inconsistency. His high price tag would be affordable if Holjund departs, and Man United remains the obvious destination.
