Amorim has made it clear that he wants to bring in players with Premier League experience, such as new signing sessions Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.

Watkins certainly fits in with that description, after he has proven himself as a Premier League goalkeeper, in contrast to Sesko, who has never played in England before.

But United has decided to concentrate on Sesko instead because they feel that the price tag of Watkins is too high for a player who will be 30 in December.

Villa is supposed to want £ 60 million for Watkins-Buts United is only willing to pay up to £ 45 million for the 29-year-old Englishman.

That is what the Red Devils of Sesko made their number 1 target with the director of the United of the recruitment of Christopher Vivell, thought he would drive the deal that worked with RB Leipzig and the old club of the player Red Bull Salzburg of the player.

Analysis of experts: Benjamin Sesko

It was a pretty difficult season for Leipzig in the past term, which meant that they had to change coach after a disappointing Champions League campaign. They struggled, what thought of thinking about the output of Sesko, but he is still one of their best and most consistent players.

The strengths of Sesko are certainly his physicality and speed – he is great in making dangerous runs behind the defense, but he is also a very clinical and instinctive Finisher, especially when the ball falls to him in the area. His work percentage is good and he is also a willing runner of the ball.

His hold-up play is quite strong, but I think his link-up game is a side of his game that he can still improve. It is not that he is bad on that side of the game, but compared to someone like Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, he is not at that level.

But during his young career he has shown that he can take those steps forward. His mentality is definitely a power – he is a player who wants to learn and want to improve, so in that sense he will be a fast student.

Former United Defender Rio Ferdinand has been ‘worried’ about United’s decision to priorit Sesko over Watkins.

Talk about his Rio Ferdinand presents YouTube channel, he said: ‘If you get Watkins, you really have guaranteed 15-20 goals and then you have that at Cunha and you have that with Mbeumo.

‘Not completely guaranteed, but you have double digits at the very front.

“Keep in mind, we were 16th in terms of goals that were scored last season and this party will take you at least 40 goals between them.”

Benjamin Sesko Target Record

Sesko played a total of 87 games for RB Leipzig in all competitions, scored 39 goals and offers eight assists.

Last season, the 22-year-old 21 goals and six assists over 45 games registered.

Ferdinand does not write Sesko and succeeds in United, but believes that the move would be more risky than a deal for Villa Striker Watkins.

Ferdinand points to the struggle of Rasmus Hojlund since arriving in English football, added: ‘The only difference is that Rasmus came in and had inexperience around him in terms of [Alejandro] Garnacho One Side and Amad [Diallo] The other usually, for example.

‘When Sesko comes in, he has two players who played Premier League, scored goals in the Premier League and supported by Bruno [Fernandes] So I think it’s a different dynamic that he comes in.

“But the uncertainty worries me a bit. Can he adapt to this competition? ‘
