If Leipzig are not able to get the replacement they want and Manchester United cannot bring in funds from selling Hojlund, it could hamper their move for Sesko. The Dane has been clear in his stance that he intends to stay at Old Trafford and fight for his place in Ruben Amorim’s first team.

United have prioritised Slovenia international Sesko as Ruben Amorim seeks to add a striker to his squad for the coming season.

Rasmus Hojlund's pre-season performances suggest he might not be finished as a Manchester United player after all.
