How Sesko sizes up
Sesko’s imminent announcement at Man Utd will make him the club’s third high-profile attacking signing of the summer.
His £74million fee from RB Leipzig raises the Red Devils’ spending in the department to over £200million for the window.
But transfer fees are not the only place they are splashing the cash this window.
Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko all slot into the list of the top 10 highest earners at the club after their arrivals.
Newcastle scramble after Sesko loss
Newcastle are considering a move for Porto striker Samu Aghehowa to bolster their attacking options.
The 21-year old is one of a few options the club are looking at according to transfer guru David Ornstein.
The news comes after Newcastle’s nightmare window was made worse yet again, as Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko chose Man Utd over a move to the North East.
The Magpies are also looking at other options including Brentford’s Yoanne Wissa and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins.
They have also reportedly been offered Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic as part of a shock swap deal with midfielder Sandro Tonali.
Ratcliffe reflects on Carrington upgrade
Man Utd co-owner Jim Ratcliffe is pleased with the outcome of the works on Carrington.
He said of the project: “Following a review of the facility last year, we made a quick decision to invest significantly in the creation of a world-class performance environment for staff and players to reflect our ambition and vision for Manchester United.
“We are delighted with the outcome and are confident the new facility will play an important role in building a winning culture at the club.”
Club complete works on Carrington
Man Utd have announced the completion of the £50million redevelopment of the men’s first-team building at the Carrington Training Complex.
The year-long project, led by Foster + Partners under the direction of renowned Mancunian architect Lord Norman Foster, has successfully delivered a leading-edge, high-performance training environment designed to inspire collaboration, innovation and excellence.
The project, financed with part of the £250m of capital invested into the club by Sir Jim Ratcliffe last year, has been completed on time and within budget, more than a week before the start of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Equipment and technology have been upgraded throughout, with a focus on fitness, nutrition, recovery and team unity.
Designed with input from players and staff, priority has been placed on functionality, openness, and connectivity, with increased natural light and open workspaces.
