A major coup for Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, Sesko's capture would provide a much-needed boost to the team ahead of the new season, especially given the absence of European football.

Amorim's squad has been plagued by a lack of quality in the centre-forward position, with Rasmus Hojlund failing to impress in his two seasons at Old Trafford.

At 22, Hojlund was brought to the Premier League too early in his career, and his lack of pace has often been his downfall, despite his robust and physical presence.

With a poor return in front of goal, 14 Premier League goals in 62 matches, Hojlund's significant financial outlay of £72m may go some way to explaining why Manchester United are prepared to offload him at a £42m loss.

Sesko, on the other hand, has a proven track record in the Bundesliga, with 27 goals in 64 matches over the past two seasons, and a shooting accuracy of 75%.

His 50% conversion rate indicates a sniper's eye for goal, and Manchester United's supporting cast will need to play to his strengths, providing balls in behind and exploiting his aerial ability.

While Sesko's numbers may seem impressive, it's worth noting that he's at the same stage of his career as Hojlund, and his success may be due to being in a lesser league.

Manchester United's attacking players will need to play their part in Sesko's success, particularly in terms of creating chances and providing assists, as his pass completion rate is a concern.

Offloading unwanted players is an immediate concern for Amorim, with no confirmed bids for players like Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony, and the pressure is on Sesko to deliver from the start.

The transfer saga has left fans eagerly anticipating the new season, and the potential impact of Sesko on Manchester United's fortunes.
