Manchester United Seeks to Bolster its Attack with New Forwards<\/h2>\n\n\nManchester United is actively seeking a new striker to strengthen their squad. According to sources close to the club, the main targets are Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko.\n\nThe team has explored various options after failing to secure the signing of Liam Delap, who chose to join Chelsea. With the recent addition of Bryan Mbeumo, the focus has intensified on the search for a center forward.\n\nWatkins and Sesko are emerging as the most viable options on the market, following the recent transfers of Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool and Viktor Gy\u00f6keres to Arsenal.\n\nThere is concern at United about the potential cost of deals for Watkins or Sesko.\n\nThe club is evaluating the costs associated with both players, considering the valuations established by Aston Villa and RB Leipzig, respectively.\n\n\n
\"Ollie<\/figure>\n\n\nContact has been established with the representatives of both players to determine the financial aspects involved. It has not yet been defined whether Watkins or Sesko will be prioritized.\n\nA factor to consider in a possible deal for Sesko is the interest of Newcastle United. The English club has shown interest in the 22-year-old Slovenian international, given the possibility of Alexander Isak joining Liverpool.\n\nUnited is confident that Sesko would choose the club over Newcastle, despite the latter’s qualification for the Champions League, if they initiate talks with RB Leipzig.\n\nAston Villa, for its part, insists on not letting Watkins leave. However, United believes that a suitable offer could convince the club to let go of the 29-year-old player, who was the subject of an offer from Arsenal in January.\n\nIt is unlikely that United will match the \u00a360 million bid submitted by Arsenal six months ago, and they value the English player at around \u00a345 million.\n\n\n
