While there is no doubt United are looking at the prospect of signing Sesko based on his potential, he does have an impressive record for a player of his age. Although he is two years older than Hojlund was when he joined United, the Leipzig striker's record is a lot more attractive.

Ollie Watkins also has admirers at Old Trafford but Aston Villa told United early in the window that the 29-year-old is not for sale.
