Man Utd transfer tease? RB Leipzig hitman Benjamin Sesko's agent in attendance at Old Trafford for Arsenal defeat

RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has been a long-term target for Manchester United, and his agent was spotted at Old Trafford sparking new rumours.

  • Sesko’s agent at Old Trafford for Arsenal match
  • Striker linked with Gunners and Man Utd
  • Has a relatively low release clause

WHAT HAPPENED?

The striker has been linked with Man Utd since his breakout season at RB Salzburg in 2022, however, the move failed to materialise and the Red Devils shifted their attention to other targets, and ended up signing Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta. Sesko’s agent, Elvis Basanovic was spotted watching on as Man Utd fell 1-0 to title challengers Arsenal.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Sesko has also been linked heavily with Arsenal this season as the Gunners continue to look for a striker to add to their already impressive squad with Mikel Arteta wanting assured firepower up top as they look to rise one step higher.

DID YOU KNOW?

This season, the 20-year-old striker has scored 17 times in 41 appearances in all competitions and has found some great form towards the end of the season as he is currently on a six-game scoring streak in the Bundesliga. As per reports, the Slovenian has a release clause of €50 million (£42.7m/$53.9m) and clubs will likely look to sign the hitman this summer.

WHAT NEXT FOR SESKO?

Sesko will next be in action when Leipzig take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, May 18 as he will look to extend his scoring streak to seven games.
