Ruben Amorim urged to block £30m superstar transfer and hold crunch talks after Benjamin Sesko deal completed

Ruben Amorim urged to block £30m superstar transfer and hold crunch talks after Benjamin Sesko deal completed

Benjamin Sesko arrived at Manchester United for a medical on Friday as Ruben Amorim looks to secure the No. 9 he has sought all summer, raising questions over Rasmus Hojlund’s future

Dimitar Berbatov believes Benjamin Sesko’s arrival at Manchester United provides the competition Ruben Amorim should desire with Rasmus Hojlund. The Danish striker endured a lacklustre season with the Red Devils last term, scoring just four Premier League goals.

As a result, Ruben Amorim has wasted very little time in bolstering his front line this summer, securing the services of Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £62.5million move, and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a package worth up to £71m. However, it now appears as though United will see RB Leipzig sensation Sesko also join the ranks at Old Trafford

The 22-year-old has been a highly sought-after prospect this summer as a result of impressing in the Bundesliga, with the Red Devils and Newcastle United embroiled in a tug-of-war for his signature. And it now appears as though United have walked away victorious in their pursuit, with Sesko landing in the UK for a medical on Friday after a deal totalling £73.7m was agreed.

And as a result, Hojlund will now have stiff competition for his place.

Speaking exclusively to LiveScore and LiveScore Bet European Brand Ambassador said: “I am excited with him going to United, but at the same time I am a bit cautious because [Joshua] Zirkzee and Hojlund were performing great in their previous clubs.

“I watched how they moved, how they bullied defenders, how they scored goals, but then going to the Premier League, they found it difficult to adjust. And the stats speak for themselves, right? Three goals, four goals, for a striker you are going to be disappointed with yourself.
