Benjamin Sesko: Manchester United and RB Salzburg talk about the striker, but there is a difference in value
Benjamin Sesko: Manchester United and RB Salzburg have had their first talks about the striker Benjamin Sesko. These talks show that there is a difference in how much the 19-year-old is worth, and United is now deciding whether to try to make a deal. Since Sesko has four years left on his contract, Salzburg is not under any pressure to sell him.
The teenager has already played 13 times for Slovenia on the international stage. He had a breakthrough season in the Austrian Bundesliga last year, scoring 11 goals and setting up six others in just 12 starts across all competitions. Sesko also did well in last week’s preseason game against Liverpool, when he scored the only goal of the game.
Ten Hag talks about the shift of De Jong and Ronaldo’s future
Erik Ten Hag gave an interview in which he talked about Manchester United’s moves so far, Frenkie de Jong, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
When asked if he was frustrated with the work the club had done in the transfer market, he said, “I’m not frustrated at all. First of all, we have a squad and we have already made progress. We are more pro-active than we were at the start. Second is the players who we have now signed. We are really happy with them. You can already see that they can contribute to the squad.”
“The last thing is that we know what we want. It’s not about signing players; it’s about signing the right players. So, we are really planning it carefully and we are sticking to that and working hard to get the right players in to construct a good squad and a squad that can win games.”
On whether Frenkie de Jong is the right player for the club, Ten Hag said: “I can’t talk about a player who is not under contract at Manchester United.”
Ten Hag also thinks that Ronaldo, who is looking for a new team, can fit into his style.
“I think he can. It starts with him getting fit because he’s only just started. He is a fantastic football player, and he has proved it so many times, but you are always judged on what you are presenting now and how you are performing now. So, the team and Cristiano himself has to prove it.”
