Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has made it clear he would love to see his former club beat Arsenal to the signing of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
Sesko is Arsenal’s main target for now, although it may seem unlikely that the Gunners will be able to bring in the Slovenia international this January.
This could mean that Sesko is again a hot topic for the big clubs in the summer, and this could allow Man Utd the chance to enter the race for his signature.
The Red Devils certainly seem to need an upgrade from their current forwards, with the trio of Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund all struggling this season.
Sesko could be ideal to come in as an upgrade and help Ruben Amorim turn things around at Old Trafford, and Yorke has made no secret of his desire to see that happen.
Benjamin Sesko could be like Alexander Isak, but cheaper, says the Man United legend
Speaking to CoinCasino.com, as quoted MetroYorke said: “I would love to Manchester United went and signed Benjamin SeskoI saw him play recently and he’s a great profile.
“It’s similar to Alexander Isak, but probably cheaper.
“Sesko has a great presence up front, he’s a great striker with an incredible shot on him. He is also mobile, which Manchester United need.
“Sesko would be my ideal signing for Manchester United.”
Many MUFC fans would surely agree with Yorke’s assessment here, but one imagines the same player would surely favor Arsenal right now.
Mikel Arteta’s side may be struggling for form at the moment, but they have been hit by major injuries all season and are still not completely out of the title race.
Sesko would probably be the finishing touch in this Arsenal team, which is just one goalscorer short, while United look years away from being genuine challengers again.
