Manchester United maintains stance on Benjamin Sesko amid Bayern interest

Summary

Manchester United has reaffirmed that Benjamin Sesko is not available for transfer this summer despite ongoing interest from Bayern Munich. Sesko, who joined United for £74 million, had a promising but injury-affected first season, scoring 12 goals. Bayern is considering Sesko as a potential future striker while addressing Harry Kane's evolving role. However, United sources have confirmed that they will not allow Sesko to leave, regardless of interest from other clubs, including Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. Bayern's recent acquisition of Ismael Saibari may reduce immediate urgency for them to pursue Sesko further.
