Ollie Watkins vs Benjamin Sesko! Man Utd narrow striker search down to two as potential transfer fee for Aston Villa star revealed

<p>According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6521471/2025/07/29/manchester-united-watkins-sesko-transfer/" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a>, United have narrowed down their striker search to just two candidates as they look to further bolster their attack this summer after bringing in Matheus Cunha from Wolves and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. Watkins seems to be the more likely candidate to join the Old Trafford outfit due to his affordability and experience of playing in the Premier League. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Villans demanded £60 million ($81m) for Watkins when Arsenal enquired about the striker back in January but <em>The Athletic</em> claims that the club could be convinced to let him leave for around £40m to £45m. <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1949803752388460970" target="_blank"><em>Fabrizio Romano</em></a> reported on Monday that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-launch-benjamin-sesko-pursuit-newcastle-transfer-disappointment/blt3dfc5cfe08457c24#csbf0f3aacaf8fb986" target="_blank">United officials have got in touch with Sesko's representatives</a> with a tentative offer. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>But before the Red Devils can make further additions to their roster, they will have to offload players like Garnacho, Sancho, Antony and Malacia. The price they would get from Antony and Garnacho's sales would be enough to fund their pursuit of either Watkins or Sesko.</p>

Manchester United have narrowed their striker search to two candidates: Aston Villa&apos;s Ollie Watkins and RB Leipzig&apos;s Benjamin Sesko. However, before spending any more money on new players, United will have to get rid of their &apos;bomb squad&apos;, which includes outcasts like Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia.
