Manchester United<\/a>\u2019s hopes of mounting a push for the Premier League<\/a> title in 2026\/27 firmly rely upon their activity in the market before the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Michael Carrick<\/a> has already added Karl Darlow, Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans to his senior ranks, but additional reinforcements are undoubtedly needed.<\/p>\n The left-back area is an area which INEOS appear to be targeting, with Luke Shaw the only senior option available to the manager ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n However, the attacking department could also be bolstered in the weeks ahead to help take the strain off one of last summer\u2019s big-money additions at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As part of last summer\u2019s massive recruitment drive, United completed the \u00a374m signing of striker Benjamin Sesko<\/a> from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n Such a move injected needed quality into the club\u2019s attacking department, with his form from last season showcasing why the Red Devils made the right call in spending big.<\/p>\n The Slovenian international netted 11 league goals during his debut campaign at Old Trafford, subsequently ending the year as the club\u2019s joint-top goalscorer.<\/p>\n However, next season could well prove to be a struggle for the 23-year-old, with the talisman tasked with leading the line in the Premier League and Champions League.<\/p>\n Most goals scored by CFs in the PL (2025\/26)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n Player<\/p>\n<\/th>\n Tally<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n Erling Haaland<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 27<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Igor Thiago<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 22<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Ollie Watkins<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 16<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Viktor Gyokeres<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 14<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 14<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Danny Welbeck<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 13<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Jean-Philippe Mateta<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Benjamin Sesko<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n The fixture congestion and playing twice in a week could start to take its toll on the big-money man and subsequently have an impact on performances within the final third.<\/p>\n Carrick\u2019s men are actively looking to offload Joshua Zirkzee before the window closes, which would make Sesko the only senior option available to the manager at the top end of the pitch.<\/p>\n If the Red Devils are to succeed and be a force to be reckoned with during the upcoming campaign, it\u2019s vital that INEOS delve into the summer window and add another forward option.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With less than a month remaining in the transfer window, United will have to act quickly if they are to land another attacking option for Carrick this summer.<\/p>\n Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has emerged as a possible option for the Red Devils, with the player himself said to be open to a potential move to the Premier League.<\/p>\n However, he\u2019s not the only attacking talent currently in the hierarchy\u2019s sights, with Chelsea star Liam Delap<\/a> once again appearing on their transfer shortlist.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been reported by TEAMtalk that United have recently been in talks with the player\u2019s representatives over the possibility of a move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n They also claim that Everton and Nottingham Forest have too been in conversations of late, with the former of the two clubs said to be leading the race at present.<\/p>\n\n Why Sesko may struggle at Man United during 2026\/27<\/strong>
