The club is reportedly pushing hard to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko before the September 1 deadline, and they’re doing it without needing a fire sale of unwanted players. On paper, it looked like United were tight on funds after already spending big on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Liverpool are allegedly preparing to return with a second bid for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. However, the Reds are waiting for the Magpies to sign a replacement, and it would be a lot easier for Arne Slot's team to sign Isak if Sesko makes the move to St James' Park.
