Manchester United’s scoring woes have been a major topic this season, with only 38 goals scored in 32 Premier League matches.
The Reds are well aware of the need for reinforcements up front, especially with key forwards like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee facing scrutiny for inconsistent goal returns.
This has forced the club to look aggressively toward the upcoming summer window, where a major attacking overhaul is expected.
Sky Sports’ Melissa Reddy recently revealed a shortlist that includes Victor Osimhen, Matheus Cunha, and Liam Delap—three very different profiles but each potentially more budget-friendly than the club’s other top target.
Despite some of those names being actively monitored, one particular striker has emerged as a standout name in the United recruitment drive.

The 21-year-old Slovenian has been in excellent form this season, netting 19 times and showcasing his ability to lead the line at the highest level.
Last summer, Benjamin Sesko was strongly linked with Arsenal but ultimately chose to remain in the Bundesliga, signing an extension that reportedly included a gentleman’s agreement to allow a future move.
That move could now materialise sooner than expected, with Bild suggesting Leipzig would be willing to cash in—although their valuation sits around a hefty £86 million.
United are keen, but such a figure could prove a stumbling block unless sales are made to balance the books.
Sesko isn’t the only name in the conversation, though. Napoli’s Osimhen could be available for £63 million, while Wolves’ Cunha has a £62.5 million release clause.
Delap, the wildcard pick from Ipswich Town, could be signed for around £30 million if the club is relegated—a bargain compared to his more high-profile peers.
What’s clear is that United’s scouting network is working overtime, and with goals in short supply, the next few weeks could shape the club’s striking future.
