Carlos Baleba (Brighton)
August 2025
Manchester United are pursuing Brighton’s £105m-rated Carlos Baleba but will not include academy graduate Toby Collyer in the deal, despite initial reports. Baleba made 40 appearances last season, scoring four goals and adding two assists. His contract runs until 2028, making Brighton reluctant sellers without a huge offer.
Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)
August 2025
Rasmus Hojlund reportedly lost favour in the United dressing room after joining Erik ten Hag’s SEG agency before arriving in 2023. Poor form — just 3 goals in his last 35 games — has fuelled exit rumours. Team-mates questioned his work rate and aerial threat. Tensions surfaced during pre-season after an on-pitch spat with Patrick Dorgu. AC Milan are interested, with United open to a summer departure.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig > Manchester United)
August 2025
Manchester United have sealed an €85m deal for Sesko, six years after first scouting him at 16. The striker waived part of his salary and his agency cut commission to finalise the move, rejecting higher wages from Newcastle. A secret trip to Germany by recruitment chief Christopher Vivell helped close the deal. Sesko signs until 2030, aiming to lead Ruben Amorim’s new-look attack.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
August 2025
Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement to sign Sesko for €76.5m + €8.5m in add-ons, beating Newcastle to the striker’s signature. Personal terms have been agreed, with a medical next. The Slovenia forward scored 21 goals last season and will bolster Amorim’s frontline.
Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)
August 2025
AC Milan are pushing to sign Hojlund on loan with a €35m option to buy, as United are open to letting him go if they complete Benjamin Sesko’s transfer. Hojlund has struggled since his €80m move from Atalanta, prompting United to consider offloading him. Roma and Juventus are also watching developments closely.
Carlos Baleba (Brighton)
August 2025
Manchester United have opened talks with Brighton for Baleba, despite nearing a deal for striker Sesko. Brighton are reluctant to sell the Cameroonian star, who’s valued at €100m and under contract until 2028; United may need to sell players first.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)|
August 2025
Chelsea are interested in signing Garnacho but are unwilling to meet Manchester United’s £50m valuation. Garnacho has missed pre-season amid uncertainty. Chelsea, having already landed Gittens, Joao Pedro, and Delap, are monitoring his situation closely. Amorim is reportedly open to offloading him after recent attacking arrivals.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
August 2025
Benjamin Sesko has picked Manchester United over Newcastle, with talks now accelerating. United upped their offer to €80m plus add-ons after agreeing personal terms with Sesko on a deal until 2030. Despite Newcastle offering more, Sesko preferred a move to Old Trafford. United’s summer spree continues after signing Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. He netted 21 goals last season and will bolster Amorim’s attack.

Sesko is the club’s top target following signings of Cunha and Mbeumo to boost their struggling attack.
