Meet The £55 Million Manchester United Target Who Is ‘Better Than Erling Haaland’

"Most of them even tell me that I’m better than him!"

Manchester United have been linked with a move for RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko and his teammates believe he is better than Erling Haaland.

The Red Devils are keen to bolster their frontline and Cristiano Ronaldo's future remains up in the air.

According to Fabrizio Romano, United are 'well informed' on Sesko and consider him to be 'really talented'.

A move is not said to be imminent and Newcastle United have registered interest too.

Sesko is six foot four and a physical presence up front, but he also has skill with the ball at his feet. Check out a video of his best bits below.

What you'll notice is the spread of goals he scores. The Slovenia international can be seen going one on one with the goalkeeper as well as dominating defenders in the air.

Most impressive is his link-up play at a young age, something most strikers don't develop until their later years.

The 19-year-old has already scored twice in two club appearances this season and he looks destined for the top. It's no surprise Salzburg value him at £55 million.

Fans have reacted to the video and think he would be a great signing.

One person commented: "Let’s sign him and watch ETH turn him into a world class striker."

Another said: "People call him the two footed Haaland for a reason."

A third put: "I'm sold mate get him in."

While someone tweeted: "Bring him to the Theatre ASAP."

Many believe his career will follow the same path as Haaland's. The Manchester City man burst onto the scene with Salzburg before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2020.

Sesko has the confidence of Haaland too. He admitted in an interview that his teammates think he is the superior forward.

He explained: "Such comparisons motivate me and give me energy.

"They do not represent pressure. I will listen and learn so I can be even better than he is.

"My team-mates at the club tell me that Haaland and I are very similar, especially in terms of speed. Most of them even tell me that I’m better than him!"
