With Cristiano Ronaldo set to leave Manchester United on a free transfer next summer, Erik ten Hag will need to find his replacement in the near future. Sesko is still only 19 years old, so could be the answer to United’s attacking problems for many years to come.

However, they will face competition from Chelsea, who will also be in the market for a long-term striker. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was signed during the summer window, but the former Arsenal man is into the latter stages of his career.
