Manchester United have problems up front as the injury to Benjamin Sesko has proven more serious than expected, and it’s likely to lead them into the transfer market this January.
Enquiries have already been made about two big-name players, and I’m told their list is even longer than that. This story was first published via the Daily Briefing – click here to subscribe for more exclusive stories straight to your inbox!
First up, I can confirm the links with Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, even if this story is currently looking unlikely to go anywhere. Although it’s true that Man Utd enquired about the experienced England striker ahead of January, they have now ended their interest after being told he’s in advanced talks over signing a new contract at Elland Road.
