New Man United striker Sesko issues warning to Premier League

Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United 's latest signing, has completed his move to Old Trafford from RB Leipzig for a fee potentially reaching £73.7 million. Sesko revealed in his first interview that his idol is former United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose playing style he hopes to emulate. The Slovenian international also expressed admiration for other past Manchester United forwards, including Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney. Last season, Sesko scored 21 goals for RB Leipzig and has made 41 senior appearances for his national team. Despite United's recent struggles, Sesko believes the team is a great project and is optimistic about their future, aiming for collective growth and success.

'Liverpool are never going to get Isak for £110m'

There are two sides to every story and we haven't heard from Alexander Isak yet, or anyone inside the Newcastle United striker's camp, other than him saying he wants to explore his don't know when he told the club that, how he told them, or what his feelings are about exactly why he wants out. What we do know is that Liverpool have offered £110m for recent years we have seen Enzo Fernandez, Declan Rice and Jack Grealish go for about £100m so, if that is the bar, they are never going to get Isak - a 25-year-old striker who has scored 44 Premier League goals across the past two seasons - for £110m.I don't think you'd get Dan Burn for that, to be have named their price, which is nearer to £150m, so we will have to see what Liverpool do top and bottom of it is that if Newcastle don't get the money they want, or the two strikers they need, then Isak more from Shearer here

'£74m is a lot for a player with room for improvement'

How Benjamin Sesko settles in at Manchester United is one thing I am looking forward to finding out this campaign.I was disappointed he chose to go there over Newcastle but, at the same time, I saw him live several times last season and he is a player with potential, rather than offering guaranteed goals.I see what Sesko's strengths are, but £74m is a lot of money for a player with room for improvement. At 22, he is no way the finished article, but there will still be big pressure on him to Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo, Manchester United have spent more than £200m on their forward line, but I still don't see them getting in next season's top is almost impossible for them to go from 15th to the Champions League places, even if fifth place is good enough I have them finishing anywhere between sixth and 10th, but no the full Shearer column here
