Man Utd transfer news: Benjamin Sesko boost as Bruno Fernandes makes demand

By staff5 August 2025No Comments4 Mins Read

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes wants to see more signings before the transfer window slams shut and RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is their top target

Manchester United are looking to bounce back this season after their worst ever Premier League finish. United finished 15th last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham.

They have already strengthened their squad with additions of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon, while Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan and Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have been released.

Plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected before the transfer window slams shut, with Ruben Amorim keen to ship out the likes of Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.

Here, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer news and rumours from in and around Old Trafford…

Sesko boost

Manchester United have received a boost in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko after it emerged that the striker’s RB Leipzig team-mate Lois Openda will not be making the move to Sunderland.

United and Newcastle are both interested in signing Sesko, who netted 21 goals in 45 games across all competitions last season. Fellow Leipzig striker Openda had been heavily linked with Sunderland and it is unlikely they would have let two forwards leave in the same window.

However, Sky Sports are now reporting that Openda will not be joining Sunderland and that Leipzig are likely to sell Sesko instead.

Fernandes’ transfer demand

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has said the club need to add “more quality” in the transfer market this summer.

“It’s improving, but it’s not where we want it to be,” Fernandes said after United drew 2-2 with Everton in pre-season. “It’s a game of football, there’s always passion there. Whatever happens, happens. There was nothing spicy there, it’s normal, it is part of the game. It’s been positive [the US tour] and it’s good to create a bond with the players.

“We looked a bit lazy today and we need to change that. We needed more quality to get everyone to step up a bit more and to have more to do to get into the starting line-up. I think that’s what the club and the manager are trying to do and hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that.”

Shearer verdict

Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer is confident that Benjamin Sesko will be a success if he joins Manchester United this summer.

When asked if Sesko has the skill-set to thrive in England, Shearer told Amazon Prime: “I do, I think it’s a matter of who can afford him. There is no doubt that this football club has a history of making an absolute fortune on transfers and this guy could be the next one to come into the Premier League.

“Either foot – left or right – which is great to see. The work rate, the work off the ball, he’s got all them things and he’s got very good technique, good balance and I don’t think there is a doubt in my mind that and he would look very comfortable in the Premier League. I do think he has a lot to learn, but he can learn no doubt.”
