Manchester United is reportedly compiling a five-man shortlist for attacking options as they seek to rebuild their squad. This comes after the acquisition of Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig, valued at €76.5 million plus bonuses. The club aims for a more strategic approach, looking to complement Šeško rather than relying solely on him. Victor Osimhen is identified as the top target, but financial constraints may necessitate consideration of other players like Jean Philippe Mateta and Dusan Vlahovic. Robert Lewandowski has also surfaced as a potential option to balance experience with youth within the squad.
